At Factorial Biomechanics, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge biomechanical analytics while being transparent about how our platform works at every tier. We offer two distinct experiences: a free tier that enables access to our tools in exchange for platform improvement data, and a paid tier designed as a fully compliant, privacy-first professional tool.

The free tier provides access to Factorial's core biomechanical analysis tools at no cost. In exchange, analysis results, session data, and derived metrics are automatically saved to Factorial's cloud, where they are used to train and improve our AI models, analyzed to enhance platform performance, aggregated and may be shared with research or development partners, and retained indefinitely. Raw video and footage are still processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded. However, free tier users should be aware that result data is treated as platform improvement data, similar to how consumer social platforms operate. The free tier is not intended for clinical, medical, or regulated professional use.

Paid subscribers receive a fully compliant, privacy-first experience suitable for clinical, coaching, and regulated professional environments. Analysis is processed locally on your device, and result data is autosaved to your secure Factorial cloud account by default. Paid subscribers may opt out of cloud autosave at any time from account settings, choosing to keep all data stored locally. Paid tier data is never used to train AI models or shared with third parties unless explicitly shared as public. You retain full ownership of your data and may request its deletion at any time.

1. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.


2. Secure local and cloud storage practices protect against unauthorized access.


3. Regular security audits and updates maintain high levels of protection.


4. Usage analytics may be stored to ensure optimum performance.

Our ethical commitment is rooted in transparency, fairness, and responsibility. We believe technology should enhance lives while respecting the rights, dignity, and privacy of every individual. This philosophy shapes our work and our core values.

Transparency and control
We believe in being direct about how each tier works. Free tier users receive access to powerful tools with the understanding that their result data contributes to platform improvement. Paid subscribers receive full privacy controls, including the ability to opt out of cloud autosave, and the assurance that their data is never used beyond delivering the service. All users can contact us to request access to or deletion of their data.

Fairness and inclusion
Our AI models are rigorously tested to reduce bias and ensure equitable performance across diverse populations. We are committed to making our technology accessible to all, regardless of background, fitness level, or location.

Empowering professionals, not replacing them
Our AI is designed to assist professionals, complementing their expertise with actionable insights rather than replacing human judgment. We believe in fostering collaboration between technology and human capability for the best outcomes.

Sustainability and responsibility
We strive to develop technology that not only benefits individuals but also supports broader health and wellness initiatives. Our tools are built with sustainability in mind, ensuring long-term value without compromising ethical standards.
