  3. Open Beoflow again, or tap Health Connect · on to sync now.

FAQ

• Does Beoflow sync in the background? No. Open the app to sync.
• How do I stop sharing? Remove Beoflow’s permissions in Health Connect (in the Health Connect app, or in your phone’s settings under Health Connect, then App permissions → Beoflow). The exact menu names depend on your Android version.
• Is there a Beoflow Android app? Yes. Beoflow is available on Android, on iPhone, and on the web at web.beoflow.com. Health Connect sync is part of the Android app.
• Can I use Health Connect with another device too? Yes. If two sources record the same thing, you choose which one Beoflow uses first. See Choose which device Beoflow trusts, and refresh your data.

Privacy

Beoflow only reads the data types you allow, and uses them to calculate your readiness, sleep and training load. It never writes to Health Connect. Your data stays in your account. If you’ve given a coach access, they see the results you share with them.
