What it is

The policy discloses collection of physical movement data for exercise form feedback and voice data for command recognition, acknowledging that physical characteristics may qualify as biometric information under applicable jurisdiction-specific privacy regulations and directing users to a separate Biometric Privacy Policy.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision acknowledges that physical movement and form analysis data may constitute biometric information under applicable state law, creating compliance exposure under Illinois BIPA and similar statutes that impose specific written consent, retention, and destruction requirements. The policy references a separate Biometric Privacy Policy but does not reproduce its terms, requiring review of that document for complete compliance assessment.

Interpretive note: Whether specific Peloton physical movement and form analysis data constitutes biometric information as legally defined under Illinois BIPA or other statutes requires jurisdiction-specific legal analysis beyond what the policy text alone establishes.

Physical Characteristics. Some physical characteristics are collected in connection with our Services; for example, some Services record your physical movement to provide feedback on your exercise form. Physical characteristics are not used to identify you. Depending on the privacy regulations in your jurisdiction, some of these physical characteristics may fall under the definition of biometric information (see Biometric Privacy Policy). [...] Voice. We may use a person's voice to activate the Services and follow workout commands where Voice Control is available. If a person opts in, voice data may be used to improve our abilities to understand voice commands in general when you are using the Peloton Guide and the Cross Training Series. This data is not used for identification purposes nor is it stored by Peloton.
