PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: August 2026
1. Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile information provided through your sign-in method (Google, email/password). When you use our app, we collect data about your running activity (miles, duration, dates) and pledges you create.
When you make a purchase, we collect your shipping address. Payment information is processed directly by Stripe and never stored on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and improve the run4luv service
- Track your running activity and pledge progress
- Process merchandise orders and shipping
- Display community statistics (anonymized)
- Send you important account notifications
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers necessary to operate run4luv: Microsoft Azure (hosting and authentication), Stripe (payment processing), and Printful (order fulfillment). Community features show your first name and running activity to other users.
4. Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure authentication via Microsoft Entra ID, and secrets management through Azure Key Vault. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified processor.
5. Your Rights
You can access, update, or delete your account data at any time through your profile settings. To request complete data deletion, contact us at privacy@run4luv.com.
When you delete your account there is a 30-day grace period during which signing back in restores it; after that your data is permanently removed. See How to delete your account for step-by-step instructions and exactly what is deleted or retained.
6. Children's Privacy
run4luv is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
7. Contact Us
If you have questions about this privacy policy, contact us at privacy@run4luv.com.
8. Information About Others
When you create a pledge, you may enter a first name of a person, pet, or concept you are dedicating your miles to. This name is stored in our database and may be visible to other users if you choose to share your pledge publicly.
We treat these names as personal information and protect them with the same security measures as your own data.
9. Payment Processing (Stripe)
We use Stripe, Inc. to process payments. Payment card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe—they are never stored on our servers.
Stripe may use data for fraud prevention, compliance, and service improvement. You can review Stripe's privacy practices at Stripe's Privacy Policy.
10. Order Fulfillment (Printful)
We use Printful to print and ship merchandise orders. When you place an order, we share your shipping name, address, and order details with Printful so they can fulfill your order.
Printful may share data with their manufacturing and shipping partners as needed to complete your order. You can review Printful's privacy practices at Printful's Privacy Policy.
11. Health Data (Apple Health / Health Connect)
With your explicit permission, our mobile app can read workout data from Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android) to automatically log your runs and walks. We read only walking and running workout records (distance, duration, and date).
Health data is sent securely to our servers solely to record your running activity within run4luv. We do not sell, share, or use your health data for advertising or marketing purposes. You can revoke health data access at any time in your device settings.
12. Mobile App Updates (Shorebird)
Our mobile app uses Shorebird to deliver over-the-air code updates. Shorebird may collect anonymous device identifiers, IP addresses, and performance metrics to deliver updates reliably.
Shorebird does not collect personal information beyond what is necessary for delivering updates. You can review Shorebird's privacy practices at Shorebird's Privacy Policy.
