At Factorial Biomechanics, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge biomechanical analytics while ensuring the highest standards of security, privacy, and ethical responsibility. We believe in leveraging technology to empower users without compromising your and your analysis subject’s trust or rights.
By default, all video and image analysis is processed entirely on your device. This means your data—whether images, videos, or personal metrics—never leaves your computer. By keeping everything local, we eliminate the risks associated with external data transmission or storage, offering you a truly private experience.
Factorial Biomechanics offers advanced services that may require off-device processing, such as specialized analyses or cloud-based storage. These services are only provided with your explicit consent — users are required to approve data sharing before any upload or external processing occurs. After purchase of the subscription, we process and store data securely, adhering to HIPAA and GDPR standards for healthcare data. We also adhere to California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and CE compliance for software used in clinical and fitness applications. Regarding data residency requirements in Canada, we ensure the privacy required to comply with federal regulations under PIPEDA and provincial laws like BC’s FIPPA and Nova Scotia’s PIIDPA. For such services:
HIPAA (US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Our platform aligns with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act by ensuring the protection of sensitive health information through secure encryption, access controls, and local processing where possible. GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation) Our platform collects, processes and retains only the necessary personal information for the purpose of biomechanical analysis, while upholding the subject’s rights to data management and portability. CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) Our platform complies with California's requirements which specifies that users have full rights to access, manage, and delete their data. We never sell personal data, and all usage is transparent. CE (Conformité Européenne) Our platform complies with European requirements, ensuring safety and performance standards for software in health and fitness contexts. Canada's PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) Our platform complies with Canada's requirements by being transparent, getting consent, using data responsibly and securely, and allowing individuals control over their information. British Columbia's FIPPA (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act) Similar to the above, our platform complies with British Columbia's public sector requirements including their service providers. Nova Scotia's PIIDPA (Personal Information International Disclosure Protection Act) Similar to the above, our platform complies with Nova Scotia's public sector requirements including their service providers, and restricting the disclosure of personal information outside of Canada.
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 Users have full visibility into how their data is used and complete control over when and if it is shared. Our consent-based approach ensures that you remain the sole decision-maker for your 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. Privacy by design Our client-side processing approach minimizes data sharing and ensures that privacy is built into every step of our platform. We continually align with the latest privacy regulations, including HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA. 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.
