Privacy Policy
TracePace
This Privacy Policy explains what information TracePace (operated by Erebos Lab) collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using TracePace 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 and measure your activity and draw your route. Location is used only while the app is in use (foreground), stored only on your device (local SQLite), and is not uploaded to us or any third party. |
| Contact Info | Yes | No | Collected only if you create an optional account with “Sign in with Apple” or Google (via Supabase): to sign you in and save your settings. TracePace is fully usable signed-out. |
| Purchases | Yes | No | Manage the optional Pro subscription (removes ads) through Apple/Google via RevenueCat. We never store card numbers. |
| Advertising Identifiers | No | No | Serve non-personalized free-tier ads via Google AdMob, only after you resolve the consent prompt. The app declares no cross-app tracking (NSPrivacyTracking is false) and does not request App Tracking Transparency; TracePace Pro removes ads. |
| 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, altitude, and timestamps recorded while you track an activity
- Derived route, distance, pace, elevation gain, and splits
Record and measure your activity and draw your route. Location is used only while the app is in use (foreground), stored only on your device (local SQLite), and is not uploaded to us or any third party.
Contact Info

- Account user identifier
Collected only if you create an optional account with “Sign in with Apple” or Google (via Supabase): to sign you in and save your settings. TracePace is fully usable signed-out.
Purchases
- Subscription state and purchase history for the optional “TracePace Pro” upgrade
Manage the optional Pro subscription (removes ads) through Apple/Google via RevenueCat. We never store card numbers.
Advertising Identifiers
- Advertising device identifier
Serve non-personalized free-tier ads via Google AdMob, only after you resolve the consent prompt. The app declares no cross-app tracking (NSPrivacyTracking is false) and does not request App Tracking Transparency; TracePace Pro removes ads.
App Preferences (on-device only)
- Units and app settings
Remember your preferences. Stored on your device only.
What we do NOT do
- Your recorded GPS routes and activities stay on your device (local SQLite) — TracePace does not upload them.
- Location is used only while the app is in use; no background location tracking is performed.
- Ads are non-personalized and consent-gated; the app declares no cross-app tracking and does not use the IDFA for tracking.
- You can delete any activity, or clear everything, in the app; uninstalling removes all local 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.
- Supabase — Optional account and authentication (email + Apple/Google sign-in)
- Apple — Optional “Sign in with Apple”
- Google — Optional “Sign in with Google”
- RevenueCat — Optional “TracePace Pro” subscription and entitlement state
- Apple App Store — Subscription billing and receipts
- Google Play — Subscription billing and receipts
- Google AdMob — Non-personalized free-tier advertising, only after you consent; removed by TracePace Pro
- 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, governed by its own privacy policy.
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.

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.
