total miles walked, total calories burned, etc.). This information is used to assist corporate
sponsors with program evaluation and participant recognition. This reporting tool includes access to
survey results data for program evaluation. This reporting tool does not allow personal health
information (i.e., BMI, height and weight) about Users to be seen and all such information is
password protected and can only be viewed by the participant.
