Privacy Policy
At Citali, we respect and protect the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application.
Data controller: Mantas Jakstas, NIE X3600606W, address: Calle 25 de Abril 73, 46400 Cullera (Valencia), España. Contact: contacto@citali.es
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Personal Information
- Registration data: Email address, full name, date of birth, and phone number
- Contact information: Phone number and email address
- Google Authentication: When you use Google Sign-In, we collect your name and email from your Google account through Firebase Authentication
1.2 Booking Data
- Date, time, and appointment details
- Selected services and assigned professionals
- Booking history and preferences
- Booking status and additional notes
1.3 Technical Information
- Unique device identifier
- Push notification token
- Application settings
- Firebase authentication information (session tokens, unique user identifiers)
- Google authentication data (when using Google Sign-In)
1.4 Google Calendar Integration
When you enable synchronization of your bookings with Google Calendar:
- We collect and store the Google Calendar access token provided by you
- We access your Google Calendar only to create automatic events when you make a booking in Citali
- Events are created with basic information: date, time, establishment, and booking details
- Events in Google Calendar are a reference copy; if you modify or delete them in Google Calendar, this will not affect your booking in Citali
- We do not access other calendars or additional personal information from your Google account
- You maintain full control and can revoke access at any time from Google Account Settings
1.5 Membership Center Data
When you join an affiliated gym as a member:
- Membership plan contracted, monthly fee, and billing cycle
- Subscription status (active, paused, or cancelled) and sign-up, renewal, and expiration dates of the membership
- Payment status and payment history recorded manually by the establishment. Citali does not manage or store banking or card data through this feature
- Class attendance and assigned training programs, when the establishment offers this feature
This data, including payment status, is visible to the establishment's authorized staff (owner and workers with access to member management), not only to the member.
1.6 Data of Members' Children
If you hold a family membership at an affiliated gym that offers group classes with this option, you or the establishment itself may enter the first and last name of your minor children to enroll them as attendees, along with their own billing cycle if the plan requires it. The minor does not have their own Citali account and does not give their own consent; you, as parent/guardian, consent on their behalf. You may request the modification or deletion of this data at any time through the establishment or by writing to contacto@citali.es.
1.7 Client Record at Each Establishment
When you book at an affiliated establishment, its authorized staff (owner and workers) can view and record in that establishment's client record:
- Your visits to that establishment and the total amount you have spent there
- Technical service data (for example, at hair salons: products, color formulas, processing times), with the date and the professional who recorded them
- Photos of the result of the service and internal notes about your visits
- Recorded payments (amount, payment method and VAT) and the tickets or simplified invoices issued
This information is only visible to the staff of the establishment that recorded it. No other establishment can see your visits, spending, technical data or photos. For this data, the establishment is the data controller and Citali acts as data processor on its behalf.
1.8 Clients Without a Citali Account
Establishments can record bookings for clients who do not use the app by entering their name and, optionally, their phone number. With that data they can also keep their visit history, technical data, photos, notes and payments, as in section 1.7.
These people do not have a Citali account and have not accepted this policy: the establishment is the data controller and is responsible for informing them and having a legal basis to record their data. Citali acts as data processor. They can exercise their rights with the establishment or by writing to contacto@citali.es.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information solely to:
- Facilitate booking and appointment management
- Verify your identity and age for service use (when date of birth is provided)
- Contact you about your bookings and services (when phone number is provided)
- Authenticate your access to the application via Firebase Authentication and Google Sign-In
- Improve user experience in the application
- Send notifications about your bookings
- Provide technical support when necessary
- Improve our services based on actual usage
- Synchronize bookings with Google Calendar: Create automatic events in your calendar when you make or cancel bookings (only if you enable this feature)
- Respect your preferences: We only synchronize if you explicitly authorize this integration in the application
- Allow affiliated gyms to locate you within the application to invite you to a membership, and manage the status of that membership if you accept the invitation
3. Legal Basis for Processing
The legitimacy for data processing is based on the following legal grounds:
3.1 Users/Visitors
The legal basis is found in free, specific, informed, clear, and unequivocal consent, given after reading this policy through express acceptance via platform registration.
If you do not provide your consent, Citali will not be able to provide the service.
3.2 Customers
The legal basis consists of:
- Request for information and/or service contracting
- Consent given through express acceptance
3.3 Membership Center Members
The legal basis is the performance of the membership contract between the member and the establishment (not with Citali), for which Citali is solely the technology provider. Regarding gym members' personal data, Citali acts as a data processor on behalf of the establishment, which is the data controller for its own members' data.
4. Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure Google Firebase servers and protected through:
- Complete encryption: Data encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest
- Protected passwords: Passwords are fully encrypted. Citali cannot access them; only Firebase allows users to change them upon request
- Secure Google Authentication: Google Sign-In uses OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for secure authentication without sharing passwords
- International certifications: ISO 27001, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3
- Restricted access: Only authorized employees with two-factor authentication
- Regulatory compliance: Compatible with GDPR, CCPA, and international privacy frameworks
- Data isolation: Your data is logically separated and protected
5. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except:
- With establishments where you make bookings: your name, email address and phone number, together with the data about your visits to that same establishment described in section 1.7. Never your activity at other establishments
- With an establishment where you had bookings registered under your phone number before creating your account: it can see that this phone number already has a Citali account, along with its name and email address, in order to merge your history into your account. More details in section 5.3
- With gym-type establishments affiliated with Citali: when an authenticated worker or owner enters an email address to sign up a new member, the system confirms whether a Citali account associated with that email exists, even if you have no prior bookings at that gym. If an account exists, your name and email are immediately recorded at the establishment with "pending invitation" status, visible to the establishment's authorized staff, and you receive a notification at that same moment to accept or reject the membership. No other data (phone number, date of birth, or booking history at other establishments) is shared with the establishment unless you expressly accept that invitation. See section 5.2 for more detail on this flow and its risks
- With Google, when you use Google Sign-In, according to Google's terms of service and privacy policy
- With Firebase (Google Cloud Platform) for secure processing and storage of authentication data
5.1 Google Calendar Integration
- With Google Calendar API: Only when you explicitly authorize synchronization of your bookings
- Citali does NOT share your calendar data with third parties
- Google Calendar acts only as a synchronization tool under your control
5.2 Member Sign-Up at Membership Centers
- A gym's staff can sign you up as a member by entering your email, without you having started the process. If you have a Citali account, your name and email become visible to that gym's authorized staff with "pending invitation" status from that same instant, and you receive a notification to accept or reject it
- The establishment is responsible for having a prior relationship or authorization with you (for example, your in-person sign-up request) before entering your email — Citali does not verify that relationship
- If you reject the invitation, or do not respond, your name and email may remain on record in the establishment's systems until the establishment itself deletes them or you request their deletion by writing to contacto@citali.es; there is currently no automatic deletion after a set period for rejected or unanswered invitations
5.3 Clients Who Later Register With the Same Phone Number
- If an establishment registered bookings in your name with your phone number before you had an account, and you later sign up for Citali with that same phone number, the staff of that establishment will see in their schedule that the client "has the app now"
- The app only performs this check for phone numbers of clients who already have bookings registered at that establishment, and establishments undertake not to use it to find out whether other people have an account (see Terms and Conditions, section 5.3)
- To merge the history, the staff see the name and email address of the account (or accounts) linked to that phone number. They do not see your date of birth or your activity at other establishments
- If the establishment merges the history, your bookings, technical data, photos and notes from that establishment move to your account: you will see those bookings in the app and receive reminders for upcoming appointments
- If you do not recognize those bookings or do not want them linked to your account, you can ask the establishment, or write to contacto@citali.es, to have them corrected or deleted
6. Limited Use of Google Calendar Data
In accordance with Google's API Services User Data Policy, Citali's use of information received from Google APIs is limited to the specific purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically:
- We access Google Calendar data only to create, view, and manage booking events on the calendars you explicitly authorize.
- We do not use Google Calendar data to develop, improve, or train AI/ML models.
- We do not share, sell, or transfer Google Calendar data to third parties for any purpose other than providing the booking synchronization service.
- Users can revoke Citali's access to their Google Calendar at any time through their Google Account settings or directly within the Citali app.
This policy adheres to Google's Limited Use requirements as outlined in the Google API Services User Data Policy.
7. Data Retention Periods
Personal data will be retained according to the following criteria:
7.1 Account Data
Registration data (name, email, phone, date of birth) is retained while the account is active. If you delete your account, this data is immediately deleted. Google authentication data is deleted according to Firebase Authentication retention policies.
7.2 Booking Data
Appointments and bookings are retained while your account is active and are only deleted when you decide to delete your account. You can access and view your complete booking history at any time through the application.
7.3 Technical Data
Notification tokens and settings are maintained while the application is installed and active on your device.
7.4 Data Recorded by Establishments
The client record (visits, technical data, photos, notes and payments) and the data of clients without an account are kept while the establishment maintains its relationship with the client, or until the establishment deletes them or the data subject requests their deletion. Deleting your Citali account does not automatically delete what each establishment recorded about your visits; you can request it from the establishment or by writing to contacto@citali.es. Tickets and invoices issued are kept for the periods required by tax law.
In case of specific legal obligations, some data may be retained for legally established periods.
8. Recipients
During the processing of your data, Citali may only transfer data to:
- Companies affiliated with Citali for the provision of booking services
- Technical service providers (Firebase, notification services)
- Competent authorities when legally required
9. Your Rights
Data subjects may exercise the following rights at any time and free of charge:
- Access your personal information and view your complete booking history
- Modify your profile data
- Delete your account and associated data
- Control the notifications you receive and your integration with the device calendar
- Control Google Calendar integration: You can enable or disable synchronization at any time from the application
- Revoke Google Calendar access: You can revoke access from your Google account (Google Account Settings → Connected apps & sites) or from the Citali application
To exercise these rights, you can send a written request to the email address indicated in the contact section. You may be asked for your ID to verify your identity.
In case of violation of your rights, you can file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency through www.aepd.es.
10. International Transfers
Citali does not perform international data transfers. If necessary, the level of protection of the destination country will be verified and the guarantees required by applicable regulations will be adopted.
11. Data Accuracy
The user guarantees that the data provided is true, accurate, complete, and up-to-date, committing to inform of any changes. They will be responsible for any damage that may be caused by non-compliance with this obligation.
Optional fields: Date of birth and phone number are optional fields that enhance your experience when provided. The accuracy of this data is important for proper service delivery when you choose to share it.
If you provide third-party data, you declare that you have the consent of the interested parties.
12. Data Retention
We retain your personal information while your account is active or as necessary to provide you with services. You may request deletion of your data at any time.
