   • b. Mesa Fitness

     • a. Your social network is owned by advertisers.

       Every post you share, every friend you make, and every link you follow is tracked, recorded, and converted into data. Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads. You are the product that's bought and sold. We believe there is a better way. We believe in audacity. We believe in beauty, simplicity, and transparency. We believe that the people who make things and the people who use them should be in partnership. We believe a social network can be a tool for empowerment. Not a tool to deceive, coerce, and manipulate but a place to connect, create, and celebrate life. You are not a product.

     • b. Mesa Fitness doesn't have ads.

       Virtually every other social network is run by and for advertisers. Behind the scenes, armies of ad salesmen and data miners track and record every move you make. Data about you is auctioned off to advertisers and data brokers. Under the guise of offering a free service, users of other social networks pay a high price in lack of privacy and intrusive advertising. You're the product that's being bought and sold. Collecting and selling your personal information, reading your posts, and mapping your social connections for profit is unethical. Every new feature on an ad-driven network is either a new way to gather more data about you (which can be sold), or show you more ads (which are auctioned), or both. Mesa Fitness is totally ad-free. Mesa Fitness does not sell data about you to third parties, including advertisers and data brokers.

     • c. OK, but what about all those other social networks that didn't have ads at first (but do now)?.

       Many other social networks and fitness apps (any site that sells ads, like Twitter, my fitness pal, lose it, Facebook, Tumblr, Google+, Instagram, etc. etc.) started out ad-free, then suddenly switched gears. They modified their privacy policies, started selling information about their users to data brokers, and bombarded us with ads. Many users of those networks feel betrayed. Mesa Fitness's entire structure is based around a no-ad and no data-mining policy. Quite frankly, were we to break this commitment, we would lose most of the Mesa Fitness community. Including ourselves, because we dislike ads more than almost anyone else out there. Which is why we built Mesa Fitness in the first place. To make this crystal-clear to everyone, we've put a very obvious Delete Account link on every user's settings page. If you ever don´t like the direction Mesa Fitness is heading, we invite you to delete your Mesa Fitness account. Of course, we'd prefer you to stay a part of our community, so please send comments and ideas to support@smarthealthclubs.com
