1. The Service

Zinde ("App", "Service") is a social fitness and sport application that allows users to build workout plans, track sessions, share workout proof to a social feed, discover and join sports meetups, compete in sponsored tournaments, and customise a personalised 3D avatar. The Service is operated by Ege Kırtık ("we", "us"), an individual developer established in the Republic of Türkiye.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 years old if you reside in the European Economic Area) to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that:

  • You meet the applicable minimum age requirement;
  • You are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law;
  • You have not previously been banned from the Service by us.

3. Account

3.1 Registration

You may create an account using an email address and password, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In. You agree to provide accurate and current information. Your username must comply with the format requirements (3–30 characters, lowercase alphanumeric and underscores) and must not impersonate another person or brand.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at krtk.eg3@gmail.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

Each account is for a single individual. You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent bans or restrictions, and you may not transfer or sell your account to another person.

4. Acceptable Use

4.1 Permitted Use

You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may post workout proof, participate in social features, join tournaments, and interact with other users in accordance with these Terms and our Community Guidelines.

4.2 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Post, transmit, or promote content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
  • Harass, bully, intimidate, or stalk any other user;
  • Post content that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party;
  • Use the Service to distribute spam, chain letters, or unsolicited commercial communications;
  • Upload malware, viruses, or any code designed to damage, disable, or gain unauthorised access to any system;
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive source code from the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service without our express written consent;
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service;
  • Submit false or misleading workout proof to gain XP, badges, or tournament eligibility;

  • Create fake accounts, purchase followers or engagement, or otherwise artificially inflate metrics;
  • Impersonate Zinde staff, moderators, or other users;
  • Collect or harvest personal data about other users without their consent.

4.3 Content Moderation

We employ automated content moderation, including AI-based classification, to detect and block content that violates these Terms before it reaches other users. Content decisions may also be made by human moderators. You acknowledge that we may remove, restrict, or decline to display any content that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines.

You may report content or users that you believe violate these Terms using the in-app reporting tools (available on posts, comments, messages, and profiles). We will review reports in accordance with our moderation policy.

5. User-Generated Content

5.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you create and post through the Service ("Your Content"). By submitting Your Content, you grant Ege Kırtık a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display purposes only), distribute, and display Your Content in connection with operating and promoting the Service.

This licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except to the extent that Your Content has already been shared by other users in a way that makes deletion impractical, or where retention is required for legal or compliance purposes.

5.2 Responsibility for Your Content

You are solely responsible for Your Content and the consequences of posting it. You represent and warrant that:

  • You have the right to grant the licence described in Section 5.1;
  • Your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
  • Your Content complies with applicable laws and these Terms.

5.3 Workout Proof and Verification

The Service uses on-device machine learning (computer vision) and HealthKit data to verify workout proof you submit to the Pulse feed. You agree not to submit fabricated, edited, or recycled proof. Submitting fraudulent proof is a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension.

6. Subscriptions, In-App Purchases, and Billing
