This Privacy Policy explains how StrideBound (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use the StrideBound iOS application (“the App”). We do not require you to create an account to use the App.
Summary
- Location and motion data are used only while a run is active to power core features.
- Your run history stays on your device unless you back it up with iCloud.
- We never sell your data or share it for advertising.
Data We Collect
- Location Data — GPS location is used to measure distance, pace, and draw your route map only while a run is active. If you background the App during a run, location continues so the run is recorded accurately.
- Motion & Fitness Data — If you grant permission, motion data (e.g., steps/cadence) may refine distance and pace calculations.
- Diagnostics — Crash logs and basic analytics provided by Apple may be collected to improve stability. This information is not used to track you across apps.
How We Use Data
- Provide core features such as tracking your run, computing stats, and displaying routes.
- Operate optional game features (e.g., creature encounters tied to run progress).
- Maintain and improve the App, including debugging and performance analysis.
Data Storage & Retention
Run history and settings are stored on your device. If you enable iCloud backups, Apple may store an encrypted backup of your App data according to your iCloud settings. You can delete individual runs inside the App, or remove all App data by deleting the App from your device.
Sharing & Selling of Data
- We do not sell your personal data.
- We do not share personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing.
- Service providers used for distribution (e.g., Apple’s App Store) may process limited information to deliver the App to your device.
Your Choices
- You can decline Location or Motion & Fitness permissions; some features may be limited.
- You can stop background location at any time by ending the run or turning off the permission in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security.
- You can delete App data by removing runs or uninstalling the App.
Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International Users & Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your information. To exercise these rights, contact us at sean.uuong@gmail.com. We will respond to valid requests as required by applicable law.
