Data Retention and Deletion Policy — Peloton

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Peloton keeps your personal data for as long as it needs to run its services and meet legal requirements, and then deletes or anonymizes it — but the policy does not specify exact retention periods.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Peloton does not commit to specific timeframes for deleting your data, meaning heart rate and fitness records could be retained for years even after you stop using the service unless you actively request deletion.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Delete Your Data

To request deletion of your data, email privacy@onepeloton.com stating you want all personal data including fitness and workout records deleted. You can also submit this request through your account settings.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Without specific retention period limits, Peloton may hold your fitness and personal data indefinitely, making it difficult to assess when your data will be removed even after you close your account.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with our Products and Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
