Effective Date: November 3, 2026
This policy describes the privacy practices of "Trace Run" (the "App").
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.
The App may request the following permissions to function properly:
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.
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.
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.
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in the app or on this page in advance.

Trace Run uses OpenStreetMap data and the OpenFreeMap tile service.
