Run together.
Stay social.

This Privacy Policy explains how RunSocial ("RunSocial", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. RunSocial is open to all users, but the optional RunMatch feature is restricted to users aged 18 and over.

1. Information we collect

• Account information: name, username, email address, profile photo, date of birth (used to calculate your displayed age and, if you enable RunMatch, to verify you are 18+), gender, and city.
• Run & activity data: GPS location traces, distance, duration, pace, elevation, calories, steps and top speed recorded while you track a run or walk.
• Social content: posts, comments, chat messages, club memberships, follows/blocks, and photos you choose to share with clubs or other users.
• RunMatch content (optional feature): if you turn RunMatch on, the profile photos, running goal, schedule, pace, search distance, age range and gender preference you set.
• Device & push notification data: a device push token, used only to deliver notifications to your device (e.g. new messages or reactions).
• Device permissions: on Android, the App may request microphone and motion/activity recognition permissions (e.g. for step counting); these are only used to power the corresponding features.
• Approximate location: used to show nearby clubs and, if you opt in, nearby RunMatch profiles.

2. How we use your information

• To provide core app functionality: tracking runs, showing your stats and history, and displaying club and social content.
• To operate social features such as clubs, chat, follows, blocks and RunMatch.
• To send push notifications about messages, club activity, follow requests and similar events.
• To maintain the security and integrity of the platform (e.g. rate limiting, abuse prevention, moderation of reported content).

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for advertising.

3. Who can see your information

Your profile and run activity are visible according to your privacy settings. If your account is set to private, only followers you have accepted can see your activity; otherwise certain activity may be visible more broadly within the App. Content you post to a club is visible to that club's members. Direct messages are only visible to the participants of that conversation. You can hide your name, age or city from other users at any time in Profile settings, and RunMatch details are only visible to other users while that feature is switched on.

4. Third-party service providers

We use the following service providers to operate the App. Each processes data only as necessary to provide their service to us:

• Supabase — hosts our database, authentication and file storage.
• Expo — delivers push notifications to your device.
• Google Maps — renders maps and run routes within the App.

5. Data retention

We retain your account and activity data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data is permanently removed as described in the Delete Account section below, except for content you sent that is retained by other users (e.g. a message you sent in a conversation, or a post you made in a running club) — consistent with how most messaging and social apps work — or where we are required to retain certain records to comply with legal obligations. Such retained content is no longer linked to your profile information after deletion.

6. Your rights

You can access and update most of your information directly within the App (Settings → Edit Profile). You can make your profile private, block or report another user, and turn RunMatch on or off at any time. You may request a copy of your data or permanently delete your account and associated data at any time — see Delete Account below.

7. Children's privacy

RunSocial is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The optional RunMatch feature is restricted to users aged 18 and over, and eligibility is verified against the date of birth provided at registration. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including row-level database access controls and encrypted network connections — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
