About trst

trst Privacy Principles

Your health data belongs to you (not us), and you can decide how it is used.

We believe you should control your biological health data, and our goal is to make it easy for you to see, monitor, and delete your information.

It’s also up to you to decide how your data on trst can be used.

If you don’t wish to contribute your personal data for product improvement and metabolic health research purposes, you can opt out of that sharing by emailing us at privacy@trsthealth.com.

We’ll never access or use your information in ways you haven’t agreed to. We respect your right to privacy and will protect your information.

We’ll work to collect as little information as needed to provide you with valuable service, and we will continually look for ways to collect less.

We will keep your information secure by prioritizing data security in every decision we make, and by ensuring that our security practices stay up-to-date.

We don’t monetize your data.

We don’t sell (or sell access to) your data to third parties (for advertising, or other purposes).

You may be asked to contribute your data to research initiatives that will help secure a healthier metabolic future. By contributing your data to research, you help researchers understand how people are living, how poor health outcomes develop, and how optimal outcomes can be built.

What information do we collect, and why Your account details

Your account details

When you create a trst account, we ask for your first and last name, email address, phone number, and address, DOB.

You can also choose to enter your date of birth, weight, height, and other biometrics to improve your app experience.

Your payment information

When you pay for trst or opt into a subscription, we use Stripe to collect, store, and process your payment information.

trst does not have access to your full credit card information, and we’ll never ask you to share that information with us directly.

Your logs – meals, activities, notes

When using trst, you’ll likely add meal photos, titles, notes, and activities. You can also import sleep data, heart rate data, and activity data from your devices.

Access to this information is limited to those with a business need, like support team members, data scientists, product managers, or engineers.

Your interactions – feedback & support

When you contact our Support or Privacy team, we retain the chat or email log as part of our records. If you participate in product feedback sessions, we may record the sessions for future reference. We’ll always let you know verbally if a call is being recorded.

Third-Party Tools and Analytics

Our app collects information about your devices, including what version of our app you’re using, what platform you’re on, your time zone, locale, and what version of that operating system you are running. We use this information for troubleshooting and aggregate analytics.

We do not collect location coordinates in the mobile app bug & crash reporting services we use. Where possible, we disable the collection of location coordinates in the mobile app bug & crash reporting services we use. Where you are located when using our app is not generally relevant to us.

Where we don’t need it (like in transactional or support emails), we’ve disabled the use of invisible pixels (learn more) that provide read receipts, location tracking, and device details.

We selectively use open tracking and other similar tools to improve marketing emails, advertising services, and other product improvement and performance initiatives.

We use minimal app logging and analytics software development kits (SDKs) to collect app crash and performance information. You can disable the sharing of trst urth App Analytics from your account settings in-app.

We strive to avoid using SDKs, code, or trackers provided by advertising networks that may track or retarget you for commercial purposes.
