Privacy Policy
Runner Map
This Privacy Policy explains what information Runner Map (operated by Erebos Lab) collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using Runner Map you agree to the practices described here.
Data-safety summary
At a glance, here is the data the app collects, whether it is linked to your identity, and whether it is used to track you across other companies’ apps and websites.
| Data category | Linked to you | Used for tracking | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location (Precise, on-device only) | No | No | Record, measure, draw, and save your running routes into your on-device library. Location is used only while the app is in use (foreground), stored only on your device, and never transmitted to us or any third party. |
| App Preferences (on-device only) | No | No | Remember your preferences. Stored on your device only. |
What we collect
Location (Precise, on-device only)
- GPS coordinates and timestamps recorded while you track a route
- Saved routes: distance, duration, pace, elevation, bounding box, and route points
Record, measure, draw, and save your running routes into your on-device library. Location is used only while the app is in use (foreground), stored only on your device, and never transmitted to us or any third party.
App Preferences (on-device only)
- App settings and preferences
Remember your preferences. Stored on your device only.
What we do NOT do
- Runner Map has no account and no backend — your saved routes and GPS data never leave your device.
- Location is used only while the app is in use; there is no background location tracking.
- No analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
- You can delete any route, or clear all routes, in Settings; uninstalling removes all data.
- We do not sell your personal information.
Third parties who process your data
We share data only with the processors below, each bound to use it only to provide their service to us. Items marked "unverified" are placeholders we must confirm and name before this policy is treated as final.
- Apple Maps / Google Maps — Map tiles only — react-native-maps uses Apple Maps on iOS and Google Maps on Android. The map provider receives your map viewport (approximate location) to render tiles, per its own privacy policy. Runner Map sends no route data to any server.
How we use your information
- Operate and personalize the app and its core features.
- Maintain your account, authenticate sessions, and provide support.
- Process payments and manage subscriptions/entitlements.
- Keep the service secure and prevent fraud and abuse.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
- Improve the product through aggregated, de-identified analytics.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed to provide the service. Account data is retained while your account is active and for a short recovery window after deletion, then deleted or anonymized. Billing records are retained as required by tax and accounting law. Backups are purged on a rolling basis.
Your rights and choices
Depending on your jurisdiction you may access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. You can delete your account and its server-side data from within the app, or by emailing us. We respond within 30 days.
Children’s privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA/UK) and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use industry-standard safeguards including TLS in transit, encryption at rest for sensitive fields, hashed passwords, least-privilege access, and audit logging. No system is 100% secure; please use a strong, unique password.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by a new "Last updated" date and, where required, announced in the app.
