Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Learn how uBurn works, who we support, how to track your calories, and how your movement turns into real impact for the planet.

Can I burn calories and sponsor people at the same time?

More / Less

Yes, absolutely! With uBurn, you can actively burn calories and convert them into donations, while also sponsoring friends, loved ones, or even your employer. Our platform makes it easy to support others in their fundraising goals as they burn calories. You can engage in healthy activities and simultaneously back the environmental or climate organizations of your choice through dynamic micro-donations. It’s a great way to multiply your impact and encourage others in their efforts to help our planet.

What are micro-donations?

More / Less

Micro donations are small, incremental contributions that add up to make a significant impact. At uBurn, we harness the power of these micro donations, starting from as little as 0.0005€ per active calorie burned. This approach allows anyone to support environmental and climate causes through everyday activities, like running or walking. For instance, if you pledge 0.001€ per calorie burned and sponsor someone who burns 600 calories on a 10 km run, your donation would be 0.60€ for that run. Given an average of 50 km run per month, your total contribution would be around 3.00€ for the month. This system makes it easy and affordable to contribute regularly, enabling continuous support for crucial causes with each step you take.

How do I choose which environmental or climate organizations to support with my activities?

More / Less

When you use the uBurn app, you can select from a list of vetted environmental and climate organizations. Simply go to the 'Settings' or 'Donations' section in the app, and you'll find options to choose or change the organizations you wish to support. This allows you to personalize your contributions to causes that you are most passionate about.

Can I track the total impact of my contributions over time?

More / Less

Yes, you can! The uBurn app includes a feature that allows you to track not only your calorie burn and physical activity but also the total amount of money you've raised through your efforts. This dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your personal health improvements alongside your environmental impact, giving you a clear picture of how your activities are making a difference.

Is there a way to involve my workplace in uBurn activities and fundraising?

More / Less

Absolutely! uBurn encourages workplace participation through corporate challenges and sponsorships. You can invite your employer to sponsor your activities, or even set up team challenges to foster a healthy, competitive spirit that also benefits the environment. For more information on setting this up, visit the 'Corporate Engagement' section of our app.

What happens if I miss my activity goals? Will my chosen organizations still receive support?

More / Less

While your donations are tied to the calories you burn, uBurn understands that flexibility is important. You can choose to make a flat monthly donation as a backup plan to ensure continuous support for your chosen organizations, regardless of your physical activity levels. This ensures that you can still contribute even on less active days or periods.

How secure are my personal and payment information within the app?

More / Less

Security is a top priority at uBurn. We use advanced encryption and security protocols to protect all personal and payment information. Your data is stored securely, and we ensure that all transactions are processed with the highest level of security and confidentiality. For detailed information about our data protection policies, please visit the 'Security' section of our app.

We want to get everyone moving for themselves but more importantly for our Earth.

Because it seems like we could be generating more impact. It has become clear that our health can directly be linked to the health of our planet.
