Summary: Your personal health, fitness, and location data stays on your device. We use a privacy-focused analytics tool (TelemetryDeck) to collect anonymous, aggregated usage events that help us improve the app. We never sell your data and never link it to your identity.
1. Overview
health run ("we", "our", or "the app") is a running and fitness coaching app for iPhone and Apple Watch. This Privacy Policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, and your rights as a user.
2. Data We Access
The app requests access to the following data types solely to provide its core features:
Health & Fitness data (via Apple HealthKit): heart rate, running workouts, distance, active energy, step count, stride length, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, resting heart rate, running speed. Used to display workout history, calculate Zone 2 heart rate ranges, and provide cadence coaching.
Location (iPhone only, while app is in use): GPS coordinates during an active run, used to track your route and calculate distance. Location data is never uploaded or shared.
Motion & Fitness (Apple Watch): step cadence measured via the device pedometer, used to provide real-time cadence guidance.
3. How Data Is Stored
All your personal health, fitness, and location data is stored exclusively on your device and in your personal iCloud / HealthKit database. We do not operate any servers that store this data. The only data transmitted off-device is the anonymous, aggregated analytics described in Section 6.
4. HealthKit
health run integrates with Apple HealthKit to read and write workout data. We comply with Apple's HealthKit guidelines:
HealthKit data is used only to provide health and fitness features within the app.
HealthKit data is never used for advertising or shared with data brokers.
You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.
5. In-App Purchases
health run offers optional Premium subscriptions processed entirely through Apple's App Store and StoreKit. We never see or store your payment information. Purchase history is managed by Apple — see Apple's Privacy Policy for details.
6. Analytics
To understand how the app is used and identify areas to improve, health run integrates TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service based in the EU. The events we collect include:
TelemetryDeck does not use cookies, advertising identifiers (IDFA), or any user-identifying information. A one-way salted hash is used to estimate user counts; the original value cannot be recovered. Data is processed on servers in the European Union.
health run contains no advertising networks and no cross-app tracking. We do not link analytics data to your identity, and we never sell or share it with third-party data brokers.
7. User Profile Data
The personal profile you set up (age, biological sex, resting heart rate, running goal) is stored locally in your device's App Group storage and optionally synced to your paired Apple Watch. This information is used only to personalise Zone 2 calculations and cadence coaching within the app.
8. Deleting Your Data
To delete all app data:
Profile & cadence model: Use the reset function in the app's Profile screen, or delete the app from your device.
HealthKit workout records: Open the Health app → Browse → Activity → Workouts, and delete individual records.
9. Children's Privacy
health run is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
