Trace Run Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 3, 2026

This policy describes the privacy practices of "Trace Run" (the "App").

1. Information We Collect

Trace Run replays imported workout routes and creates images and videos on your device without a separate app account. The developer does not operate a server storing your workout records. Optional integrations and external services communicate and process data as described below.

Imported GPX files, authorized Apple Health or Android Health Connect workout data, and offline map tiles are all stored locally on your device only.

2. Device Permissions

The App may request the following permissions to function properly:

  • •Apple Health (iOS) and Health Connect (Android): Read access to authorized workout, route, and heart-rate data. The app does not modify original health records.
  • •Location: Used only to display the map.
  • •Photo Library: Used to save exported videos and photos to your device.

3. Data Storage & Retention

Imported routes and simulation preferences are stored in the app on your device. Strava authentication information is stored on the device for API authentication and renewal. Imported routes remain until you delete them. The developer provides no server backup; device or operating-system backup settings may apply separately. Exports saved to Photos, Files, or another app remain after deleting an in-app route and must be deleted separately at those destinations.

4. Third-Party Services

Map tile requests communicate with services such as OpenFreeMap, which may process connection information such as your IP address. The app uses Google AdMob, which may process device identifiers, IP address, ad interactions, and diagnostics for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. Tracking on iOS follows system consent. Strava GPS, heart-rate, and workout records are not passed to the advertising SDK. Files you explicitly export or share are subject to the policies of your selected destination.

5. Optional Strava Connection

After you sign in to your own account on the official Strava OAuth screen and authorize activity reading (activity:read_all), the app requests data directly from Strava on your device. It processes access and refresh tokens, expiry, display name, and activity summaries (ID, name, type, date, distance, and duration). When you choose an activity to import, it retrieves GPS coordinates, altitude, time, and heart rate when available for route replay and user-initiated cards, videos, and stickers. Within the app, Strava records are shown only to the authenticated user. Strava workout data is not used for ad targeting or AI/machine-learning training.

6. Withdrawing Consent and Deleting Strava Data

  • •Disconnect: open Import My Records → Strava → More (…) → Log Out to clear local authentication information and request revocation at Strava. A network failure may prevent revocation, so you can also revoke Trace Run directly in Settings → My Apps on the Strava website.
  • •Delete routes: in the current version, logging out does not automatically delete imported routes. When ending the connection, long-press each imported Strava route in the route list and choose Delete. On iOS, wait for the undo window to expire and confirm that it is no longer listed. This does not delete the original activity on Strava.
  • •Other copies: deleting the app removes its internal data. Manage and delete exports in Photos, Files, or shared destinations and device backups separately.
  • •Deletion requests and written confirmation: email [email protected]. Do not send passwords, authentication tokens, or full GPS files. The developer cannot remotely access your device storage to perform or independently verify local deletion. We review the required steps and your completion report, then reply stating the scope we can confirm. We also handle requests to delete support correspondence in our possession and provide written confirmation of completion.

7. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in the app or on this page in advance.
