Privacy Policy for RunAtlas

Last Updated: February 8, 2026

Overview

RunAtlas is a personal running analytics app that helps you visualize and track your running history. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the app accesses and how it's used.

Data Collection and Usage

HealthKit Data

RunAtlas requests read-only access to your Apple Health workout data, specifically:

• Running Workouts: Distance, duration, date, and GPS route data

How this data is used:

• All data is processed locally on your device
• Running statistics and visualizations are generated on-device
• Location data is reverse-geocoded (converted to city/country names) using Apple's MapKit services

What we DO NOT do:

• We do NOT collect, store, or transmit your health data to any external servers
• We do NOT share your data with third parties
• We do NOT use your data for advertising or marketing purposes

iCloud (CloudKit)

RunAtlas uses Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) to store user-edited locations for indoor runs. This data is stored in your private iCloud account and syncs across your devices. Only you can access this data — it is not visible to us or anyone else.

Location Services

The app uses Apple's MapKit to convert GPS coordinates from your runs into city and country names. This is done using Apple's standard geocoding service. No location data is sent to any servers other than Apple's geocoding service.

Data Storage

• All processed run data is cached locally on your device for faster app loading
• This cache is stored only on your device and is not accessible to us or any third party
• You can delete this data at any time by deleting the app

Third-Party Services

RunAtlas uses only Apple's built-in services:

• HealthKit — To read your running workout data
• MapKit — To convert coordinates to location names and display maps
• CloudKit — To sync indoor run locations across your devices via iCloud

No third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services are used.

Data Sharing

We do not share any of your data with anyone. Period.

Your Rights

• You can revoke HealthKit access at any time in Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > RunAtlas
• You can delete all app data by uninstalling the app
• The app works offline once your data is loaded

Children's Privacy

This app does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The app simply reads existing HealthKit data that the user has already recorded.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date above.
