This provision establishes an ongoing automatic data collection mechanism that operates continuously after initial activation, collecting personal information (name, email, phone number) of third parties who are not Peloton members and have not directly consented to the collection of their information by Peloton. The opt-out mechanism requires affirmative action within the app Preferences to halt both syncing and deletion of stored contact data.
Under this clause, enabling contact syncing initiates an ongoing automatic import of all device contacts' names, emails, and phone numbers into Peloton's systems, affecting individuals who are not Peloton users and have not consented to this collection. The agreement states that disabling 'Contacts syncing' in the Privacy section of Preferences on your mobile device will stop syncing and delete your contacts information from Peloton's system.
