RunFitCoach values your privacy and the protection of your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains the information we collect about you as part of your use of our website, mobile applications, and related services (together the "Services"), how we use that information, the extent to which we share that information with third parties, and your rights in respect of such information.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms of Service, which set out the terms applicable to use of our Services.
Data Controller: RunFitCoach, with its registered address at 619 West Fullerton Parkway, Chicago, IL. Throughout this Privacy Policy, the terms "RunFitCoach," "we," "us," "platform," and "our" refer to RunFitCoach.
Important: When you use RunFitCoach and connect third-party devices or services (such as Garmin, COROS, Whoop, Oura, Strava, or Apple Health), any data you share with RunFitCoach through those integrations is submitted to and controlled by RunFitCoach, not by the third-party platform. The third-party platform bears no responsibility or liability for data once it has been transmitted to RunFitCoach.
By using the Services, you consent to our use of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you have any queries, please contact us at Johnny@runfitcoach.com.
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes. You will know if there has been an update by referring to the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We collect a range of information to provide you with the Services and to continually improve the user experience.
We may collect your name, date of birth, gender, profile picture, and contact details (such as your email address).
Purpose: Internal record keeping; providing access to the Services; customer support and service communications; shipping merchandise (if applicable); marketing communications (with your consent).
Lawful basis: Your consent; performance of our contract with you.
Where you purchase a subscription or other items directly through RunFitCoach, we collect necessary billing information. Payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant third-party providers (such as Stripe or Apple/Google in-app purchase systems). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
Lawful basis: Performance of our contract with you.
RunFitCoach does not collect GPS location data by default. GPS tracking is only activated when you explicitly enable it for a specific workout recording within the app. You will be prompted to grant location permission on your device before any GPS data is collected. You may disable location permissions at any time through your device settings.
When GPS tracking is enabled for a workout, we collect latitude, longitude, elevation, and route data for the duration of that workout session only.
Lawful basis: Your explicit consent.
When you use the Services, we may collect the following health and fitness data:
Lawful basis: Your consent; performance of our contract with you.
If you enable push notifications, we collect your device push notification token to send you workout reminders, plan updates, and other service communications. Marketing-related push notifications will only be sent with your consent and can be opted out of separately within the app or via your device settings.
Lawful basis: Your consent; legitimate interests in providing the Services.
We may collect: IP address, device identifiers, operating system and version, app version, browser type (for web use), usage metrics (features used, session duration, screens viewed), crash logs and performance data, and server logs.
This information helps us improve performance, diagnose issues, and enhance the user experience.
Lawful basis: Performance of our contract; legitimate interests in improving the Services.
RunFitCoach allows you to connect third-party devices and platforms to import health and fitness data into the Services. This section describes how we handle data from each supported integration.
All third-party integrations are opt-in. RunFitCoach will never automatically connect to or import data from any third-party service. You must explicitly authorize each connection. You may disconnect any integration at any time through your account settings.
When you connect your Garmin account, RunFitCoach may receive the following data through the Garmin Connect API, subject to the permissions you grant:
Garmin disclaimer: Any data submitted to RunFitCoach through the Garmin Connect integration is submitted to RunFitCoach and not to Garmin. Garmin has no responsibility or liability for any data once it has been transmitted to RunFitCoach. RunFitCoach's use of the Garmin Connect API is subject to the Garmin Connect Developer Program Agreement.
RunFitCoach will not retain Garmin-sourced data longer than necessary for the reasonable operation of the Services, unless you provide express consent to retain your data for a longer period (e.g., by maintaining an active account).
When you connect your COROS account, RunFitCoach may receive activity data including distance, pace, duration, heart rate, cadence, and GPS/route data, subject to the permissions you grant through the COROS authorization flow.
Data received from COROS is handled under the same general rules described above. COROS has no responsibility or liability for your data after it is transmitted to RunFitCoach.
When you connect your WHOOP account, RunFitCoach may receive the following data through the WHOOP API, subject to the permissions you grant:
WHOOP data received by RunFitCoach is encrypted both in transit (via HTTPS/TLS) and at rest using industry-standard encryption (AES-256 or equivalent). WHOOP has no responsibility or liability for your data after it is transmitted to RunFitCoach.
RunFitCoach's use of the WHOOP API is subject to the WHOOP API Terms of Use. RunFitCoach will not transfer or disclose WHOOP-sourced user data to any third parties except as expressly permitted by the WHOOP API Terms, by you, by this Privacy Policy, and in compliance with all applicable laws.
When you connect your Oura Ring account, RunFitCoach may receive the following data through the Oura API, subject to the permissions you grant:
Oura-specific restrictions: RunFitCoach will never sell, license, lease, or share Oura-sourced data with any third party, including advertisers or data brokers, regardless of whether you consent to such use. This restriction is required by the Oura API Agreement and is honored by RunFitCoach without exception.
Oura usage data disclosure: Oura may collect certain usage data related to RunFitCoach's use of the Oura API and the Oura platform in connection with the RunFitCoach integration. Oura may use such usage data for any business purpose, including improving the Oura API or platform. This is required under the Oura API Agreement.
RunFitCoach's use of the Oura API is subject to the Oura API Agreement and the Oura Terms of Use, including the Oura Privacy Policy.
When you connect your Strava account, RunFitCoach may receive activity data including distance, pace, duration, heart rate, cadence, GPS/route data, and activity type, subject to the permissions you grant through Strava's OAuth authorization flow.
Strava has no responsibility or liability for your data after it is transmitted to RunFitCoach. RunFitCoach's use of the Strava API is subject to the Strava API Agreement.
If you grant RunFitCoach access to Apple Health (iOS) or Google Health Connect (Android), we may read health and fitness data you have chosen to share, including workout data, heart rate, steps, and other metrics available through those platforms.
RunFitCoach will only read the specific data types you authorize. We will not write data to Apple Health or Google Health Connect without your explicit permission. Data received through Apple Health or Google Health Connect is subject to the same general rules described above and is not shared with third parties, advertisers, or AI/ML providers.
RunFitCoach may add support for additional third-party platforms in the future. Any new integration will follow the same principles outlined in this section: opt-in authorization, purpose limitation, no sale of partner data, no sharing with AI/ML providers, and your right to disconnect at any time.
RunFitCoach uses automated systems, including AI and machine learning tools, to generate personalized training plans, pace zones, and adaptive strength workouts based on your fitness data.
Only data generated natively within the RunFitCoach app is eligible for processing by external AI or machine learning service providers. This includes:
Data imported from third-party integrations (Garmin, COROS, Whoop, Oura, Strava, Apple Health) is never shared with external AI or machine learning service providers. This data is used internally by RunFitCoach to inform your training recommendations, but it is not transmitted to any external AI service.
When app-generated data is shared with AI service providers (such as large language model API providers), it is anonymized before transmission. "Anonymized" means: your name, email address, account ID, and any other directly identifying information are stripped from the data before it is sent. The AI provider receives only the workout parameters and fitness metrics needed to generate recommendations.
You may withdraw your consent for AI-assisted personalization at any time through your account settings. Withdrawing consent may limit certain adaptive features of the app, such as natural language plan adjustments.
Lawful basis: Your consent; legitimate interests in improving the Services.
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies.
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also manage preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
Do Not Track: Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals, but we honor cookie preferences set through our consent banner and browser settings.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting Johnny@runfitcoach.com or through your account settings.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not sell, license, or lease data received from any third-party integration to any party, including advertisers and data brokers, under any circumstances.
We may share your information with trusted third parties necessary to operate the Services:
Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of RunFitCoach and its users.
These third-party service providers process your personal data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. They are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes of providing their services to RunFitCoach and to maintain appropriate security measures. They may not use your personal data for their own purposes.
If RunFitCoach is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset sale, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice within the app before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. For data received from Oura, we will provide Oura with advance notice of such transaction as required by the Oura API Agreement.
While we implement reasonable security measures, no system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
If a data breach occurs that poses a significant risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify appropriate authorities within 72 hours as required by applicable law, and will notify affected users without undue delay.
In certain circumstances, and only at your explicit request and consent, a RunFitCoach employee may temporarily access your account for troubleshooting purposes. When activated: access is limited to authorized personnel; location and detailed health data will not be accessed; secure authentication controls are used; consent is required for each activation; access is logged and time-limited.
