Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 22, 2026
The Short Version
We don't collect your data. Period.
Random Run is designed with privacy at its core. Your location, routes, and running data stay on your device and are never transmitted to our servers. Optional integrations you turn on yourself (Apple Health, Strava) send data directly from your device to those services — never through us.
Information We Do Not Collect
Random Run does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Your location or GPS coordinates
- Routes you generate or run
- Personal information (name, email, phone number)
- Device identifiers or tracking data
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Health or fitness information
How the App Works
Random Run generates running routes entirely on your device. When you use the app:
- Your device's GPS determines your current location locally
- Route calculations happen on your device
- Map data is fetched from standard mapping services (Apple Maps/Google Maps) which have their own privacy policies
- No data about your location or routes is ever sent to Random Run servers
Third-Party Services
Random Run uses mapping services to display routes. These services (Apple Maps, Google Maps) operate under their own privacy policies:
We do not share any of your data with these services beyond the standard map tile requests required to display your route.
Data Storage
Any preferences or saved routes you create are stored locally on your device using iOS's built-in storage mechanisms. This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is protected by your device's security features
- Is deleted when you uninstall the app
- Can be cleared at any time within the app
HealthKit Integration
If you choose to connect Random Run with Apple HealthKit to use your running pace:
- This connection is entirely optional
- Data is read locally and never transmitted
- We only access the specific data types you approve
- You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings
Strava Integration
If you choose to connect Random Run to Strava, your finished runs can upload to Strava automatically. This integration is entirely optional and off by default:
- You must explicitly authorize the connection in Settings using Strava's official OAuth flow
- Run data (route, time, distance, pace, elevation) is sent directly from your device to Strava — it never passes through our servers
- We do not see, store, or transmit your runs ourselves
- Strava handles your uploaded activity under Strava's Privacy Policy; activity visibility is controlled by your Strava privacy settings
- You can disconnect at any time from Random Run's Settings or from Strava's app-permissions page
Children's Privacy
Random Run does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no data, there is no risk of collecting data from minors.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change this privacy policy, we will:
- Update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page
- Notify users within the app of any material changes
- Never start collecting data without explicit user consent
