Terms of Use

Version 2026-11-12 · Last updated: 12 November 2026

In short: Takto is a training app built for personal use and is still in testing (beta). Its suggestions are not medical advice: listen to your body and, if you have a health condition, speak to your doctor first. You can delete your account at any time.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

These terms are an agreement between you and Takto ("we", "us", "our"), who operates the Takto mobile app and the services at takto.teknoyuz.org (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you confirm that you have read and accept these terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Beta and personal use

The Service is under development. Features may change without notice, and there may be interruptions and errors.
The Service is for personal, non-commercial use. It is free of charge; if paid features are introduced, we will tell you in advance.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service.

3. Health notice

The training plans, pace and heart rate targets, readiness score, race predictions, run reports and AI coach replies in Takto are for general information only and are not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. AI coach replies can be wrong or incomplete, so check them before you act on them.

Speak to your doctor before starting a new training programme, particularly if you have a cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal or other health condition, are pregnant or take medication.
If you feel chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, unusual palpitations or pain, stop running immediately and seek medical help.
Device and sensor readings (GPS, heart rate, HRV, sleep and so on) can be inaccurate; do not base decisions on this data alone.
You are responsible for paying attention to traffic, weather and your surroundings while running. Do not look at your screen while you are running.

4. Your account

To register, you need a valid e-mail address and a password of at least 8 characters. Your e-mail address is not verified; you are responsible for making sure it belongs to you.
You are responsible for keeping your password secret and for activity on your account. Tell us straight away if you notice unauthorised use.
If you forget your password, you can ask for a reset by writing to takto@teknoyuz.org.
You may not share an account with anyone else or open an account on someone else's behalf.

5. Third-party services

With your authorisation, Takto connects to services such as Strava, Garmin Connect, Intervals.icu and Apple Health, and uses the Anthropic (Claude) AI service for the coach feature. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. You can remove a connection in the app, or revoke access in the relevant service's settings, at any time. We are not responsible for outages or changes at third-party services or for the accuracy of their data.

Using the coach is optional. Messages you write to the coach are sent to Anthropic (USA) with your consent so that a reply can be generated.
In line with the Strava API Agreement, data received from Strava is never sent to the AI coach and is not shared with other users.
Access keys you provide when connecting a service are stored encrypted on our server.

6. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service for unlawful purposes, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems, overload them, reverse-engineer them, scrape data with automated tools, misuse the coach for purposes unrelated to running and healthy living, or infringe the rights of others. A daily usage limit may apply to the coach to keep usage fair.

7. Content and intellectual property

The Service's software, design and content belong to us. Your data (activities, notes, plans) belongs to you; we process it only to provide the Service to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Ending the agreement and deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings › Account › Delete account. This permanently deletes your account, sessions, encrypted connection keys and the backups held on our server; copies in our nightly system backups are deleted automatically within 15 days.
We may suspend or close your account if you breach these terms, if there is a security risk or if the Service is discontinued. Where possible we will give you notice first.

9. Our liability

The Service is provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from using or being unable to use the Service, from data loss, or from following training suggestions, including injury or health problems.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will announce material changes in the app before they take effect, and the current version is always on this page. Where a change requires your agreement, we will ask for it in the app; if you do not agree, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and the courts of Istanbul, Türkiye, have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts there (for UK residents, the courts of England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland).
