Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 9, 2026
Tapable ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Runfa.st mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the App.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your email address and authentication credentials through our authentication provider (Clerk).
- Location Data: With your permission, we collect GPS location data while you record a run to track your route, pace, and distance. We also collect background location data if you enable run tracking with the screen locked.
- Health & Fitness Data: With your permission, we read steps and walking/running distance from Apple Health (HealthKit) to display daily activity progress. We do not write data to Apple Health.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as app launches, screens viewed, and feature usage to improve the App.
- Device Information: Basic device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version for troubleshooting and compatibility purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the App's core features (run tracking, route mapping, targets, AI coaching).
- Display your run history, stats, and progress.
- Provide personalized AI coaching recommendations based on your running activity.
- Authenticate your identity and manage your account.
- Improve and optimize the App's performance and user experience.
- Communicate with you regarding your account or important service updates.
3. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard practices. We use encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all data transmission. Account authentication is handled by Clerk, a third-party authentication provider with its own security measures.
GPS route data and run records are stored on your device and may be synced to our secure servers to enable features like cross-device access and AI coaching.
4. Third-Party Services
The App may use the following third-party services:
- Clerk: For user authentication and account management. See Clerk's Privacy Policy.
- Apple HealthKit: To read health and activity data. This data is used only within the App and is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising or marketing.
- Expo / React Native: For app infrastructure. No personal data is shared with Expo.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in the following circumstances:
- With service providers who assist in operating the App (e.g., authentication, hosting), under strict confidentiality agreements.
- If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of Tapable, our users, or the public.
6. HealthKit Data
Data obtained through Apple HealthKit is used solely to display your activity information within the App. We do not store HealthKit data on our servers, share it with third parties, or use it for advertising. This complies with Apple's HealthKit guidelines.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
- Withdraw consent for location tracking or health data access at any time through your device settings.
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Delete your account and all associated data by contacting us.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy within the App or on our website. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
