Runsmith Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2025

At Runsmith, we value your privacy and are dedicated to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data when you use the Runsmith mobile application ("App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.



1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to all Runsmith App users, including athletes, coaches, parents, and guardians. It details how we manage your personal and performance-related data, your rights over that data, and the steps we take to keep it secure. For any questions, please reach out to us at privacy@runsmith.com.



2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to deliver and enhance our services:

  • Personal Information: When you sign up, we gather your name, email address, date of birth, and, if applicable, your school or team affiliation. For users under 13, we may also collect a parent or guardian’s contact details for consent.
    • Performance Data: We collect official meet results, such as times, distances, places, and other metrics from track and field or cross-country events.
  • Usage Data: We automatically track how you use the App, including log-in times, features accessed, and device details (e.g., IP address, operating system).
  • Communications: If you reach out to us or take part in surveys, we may keep records of those interactions.


3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for these purposes:

  • To Provide Services: To monitor and display your athletic performance, compile meet results, and share data with your coach, parent, or guardian as needed.
  • To Improve the App: To study usage trends, fix bugs, and enhance the App’s features and performance.
  • To Communicate: To send you updates, notifications, or replies to your questions.
  • To Meet Legal Requirements: To comply with applicable laws and regulations, including data protection obligations.


4. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in these situations:

  • With Coaches and Parents: Your performance data may be shared with your designated coach and, if you’re a minor, your parent or guardian.
  • With Service Providers: We may share limited data with trusted third-party providers (e.g., cloud storage, analytics) to support and improve the App. These providers are required to protect your information.
  • For Legal Purposes: We may disclose data if legally required, such as in response to a court order or to protect our rights, safety, or property.


5. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your data with these options:

  • Access and Correction: Update your personal details anytime via your account settings.
  • Data Deletion: Request account and data deletion by emailing privacy@runsmith.com (mailto:privacy@runsmith.com). Note that some data may be kept for legal or operational reasons.
  • Opt-Out of Communications: Unsubscribe from non-essential messages (e.g., newsletters) using the link provided in those emails.
  • State-Specific Rights: Residents of certain states (e.g., California under the CCPA) may have extra rights, like opting out of data sales. Contact us to exercise these rights.


6. Data Security

We take steps to protect your data from unauthorized access or misuse, including:

  • Encryption: Your data is encrypted during transmission and storage.
  • Access Controls: Only authorized staff can access your personal information.
  • Regular Audits: We review our security practices periodically to address potential risks.

While we strive to keep your data safe, no system is foolproof. Please keep your account login details confidential.



7. Children's Privacy

We prioritize the privacy of children. If you’re under 13, we require verifiable parental consent before collecting your personal information, per the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Parents or guardians can:

  • Review their child’s data.
  • Request changes or deletion.
  • Withdraw consent anytime by emailing privacy@runsmith.com.

    • We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 without parental approval. If we discover such data, we’ll delete it promptly.



8. International Users

If you use the App outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries. We comply with international data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU users. GDPR rights include:

  • Accessing, correcting, or deleting your data.
  • Limiting or objecting to certain uses.
  • Requesting data portability.

    • To use these rights, email us at privacy@runsmithapp.com



9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We’ll notify you of significant updates via email or an in-app alert. Continued use of the App after such changes means you accept the revised policy
