About this demo
This is an early public demo of Phit, a running analysis app that lines up runs that belong together and shows what changed from one to the next. It is free, it has no accounts, and it is run by one person as a side project. It can change, be reset or go away at any time.
What it stores
- The runs you import: for each one the date, distance, time, pace, heart rate, cadence, elevation and the GPS points of the route, read from your file, and the splits and numbers Phit works out from them. Up to five runs at a time.
- Your settings in the demo: units, max heart rate, time zone and the like.
- One cookie, which tells the server which demo session is yours. It is needed for the demo to work and is not used for anything else.
There is no name, no email address and no password. Nobody signs up, and nobody can sign in to a demo session from another browser: the session lives in the browser that made it. If you clear your cookies, that session can no longer be opened by anyone and is deleted with the rest.
How long
Everything in a demo session is deleted after 24 hours without use, by a timer on the server that checks every few minutes. Using the demo starts the clock again. To delete it sooner, open Demo session at the top right and choose Delete my demo data: it goes at once and you start fresh.
Who can see it
Other visitors cannot: every demo session has a database of its own. Nothing is sold, shared or used for advertising, and the page loads no analytics, ads or third-party scripts. The person who runs the server can technically read the files on it, which is true of any website; they will not look at your runs except to fix a fault.
The server keeps your address (IP address) in memory to limit abuse, and writes it to its log when it creates a demo session.
The one place data leaves the server
If you turn on the weather adjustment (or the personal correction, which uses weather too), Phit asks Open-Meteo for the weather at the time of your run. It sends the start location rounded to about 1 km and the start time, and nothing else about the run. Weather data by Open-Meteo, under the CC BY 4.0 licence. Leave that adjustment off and nothing leaves.
Before you import
Run files hold GPS points, and a run that starts at your front door shows where you live. If that bothers you, import a run that starts somewhere else, or trim the start out of the file first. Phit is a fitness tool: its numbers are estimates and are not medical advice.
Feedback
Send feedback to phit.feedback@gmail.com. What you write, and the address you write from, goes to that mailbox (which is a Gmail account) and nowhere else. Say what you were trying to do, what happened, and what you expected. Please do not send run files or anything private; a description is enough.
