To Give You Personalized Stats

We use personal data, such as height, weight, gender, and age, to provide you more accurate stats, such as how many calories you burn during an activity.

To Help You Track Your Training Activities and Competitions

If you choose to upload data from your Garmin device to a Garmin app, we collect recorded data from those activities so you can analyze it and track your progress toward your goals. If you want to, you can even share your activity data with others. Plus, you can withdraw your consent and delete activities at any time.

To Keep You Informed

When we have something important to tell you about your products, apps, subscriptions, or account — such as vital safety information, app updates, new products or deals, and updates to our privacy policy — we use collected contact information to reach you.

To Improve Our Sites and Apps

When you visit our sites or use our apps, we collect information — such as your IP address, location, times that you visit, and more — to let us know how people navigate our sites and apps and how we can improve them.

To Give You Information You Might Actually Find Interesting

We use things such as cookies, pixel tags, and similar tools to help us provide better, more relevant content on our sites. So, if you and everyone else are coming to our websites for awesome devices, we’ll know to keep making them.

We also use these tools to see how effective our ads are and to identify any problems that we need to fix. All in all, we just want to give you websites that are worth browsing.

Does Garmin sell your personal data?

No! We don’t sell your personal data to anyone. And we only share your personal data with others in specific situations.
