Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Depending on the features you use, Routerunner may collect or process the following categories of information:

• Your current and recent location when generating, guiding, or recording running routes.
• Route information you create, including generated loops, custom routes, saved custom routes, and in-app run history.
• Workout and fitness data you choose to share through Apple Health or Apple Watch, such as distance, elapsed time, heart rate, active energy, and route path.
• Account information available through Sign in with Apple, such as your Apple-provided user identifier and, if shared, your name or relay email address.
• Subscription and entitlement status from Apple for Routerunner Plus purchases and restores.
• Basic technical and diagnostic information needed to operate the app, maintain session state, and keep features working across launches or devices.

2. How We Use Information

• To generate routes from your current location and target distance.
• To provide live run guidance, direction indicators, split timing, and route completion behavior.
• To support Apple Watch workout sessions and keep watch status synced back to your iPhone.
• To save completed runs in local app history and, when permitted, into Apple Health.
• To manage purchases, verify premium access, and restore active subscription entitlements.
• To maintain account sessions and support Sign in with Apple.
• To improve reliability, debug issues, and respond to support requests.

3. Location Data

Routerunner relies on location data to create running routes, guide you during an active run, estimate progress, and help bring you back to your starting point. If you enable background location features for active runs, the app may continue using location while a workout is underway so your route guidance remains accurate.

4. HealthKit and Apple Watch Data

If you grant Health access, Routerunner may read or write workout-related information through Apple Health and watchOS HealthKit APIs. This can include workout records, route data, distance, heart rate, and active energy. Health information is handled only to power features you request, such as saving a run or supporting a real-time watch workout session.

Health data is subject to Apple’s platform rules. We do not use Health data for advertising, and we do not sell Health data.

5. Sign in with Apple

If you sign in with Apple, Routerunner stores only the information needed to recognize your session and associate it with app access. Your Apple credentials are managed by Apple. If you choose guest mode instead, the app may keep a local guest session on your device.

6. Payments and Subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple, not Routerunner directly. We receive subscription status and entitlement information needed to determine whether Routerunner Plus features should be unlocked. We do not store your full payment card information.

7. Storage and Retention

Some Routerunner information is stored locally on your device, including run history, saved routes, session state, and app preferences. If a feature uses Apple Health, related workout records may also be stored within Apple’s Health ecosystem according to your Health settings and Apple’s retention policies.

8. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only when necessary to provide app functionality, such as using Apple frameworks and Apple services for maps, routing, authentication, subscriptions, or Health integrations.

9. Your Choices

• You can decline location, Health, or Apple Watch permissions, though some features will not work fully without them.
• You can sign out of your account or continue as a guest.
• You can delete in-app run history stored locally in Routerunner.
• You can manage subscription renewals and cancellations through your Apple account.

10. Children’s Privacy

Routerunner is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the service.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may revise the effective date on this page and provide notice within the app or on our website when appropriate.
