Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 21, 2026  |  Version 1.3.3

This Privacy Policy applies to the RunningAir app for iOS ("the Application"), operated by BIN XIAO ("the Service Provider"). RunningAir is a fully offline GPS running tracker — it never transmits your data to any server, cloud service, or third party.

Information We Collect

RunningAir collects only the following data, which remains entirely on your device:

We do NOT collect: your name, email, phone number, health/fitness data (HealthKit), heart rate, step count, accelerometer data, advertising identifiers, device analytics, crash logs, or any other personally identifiable information.

How Your Data Is Used

All data is used solely within the Application to:

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in a single SQLite database file (Documents/running.sqlite) inside the Application's private sandbox on your iOS device. This data is:

Data Sharing

RunningAir never shares, sells, or transmits your data to any third party. The only ways data may leave your device are through actions you initiate:

In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

RunningAir offers an optional auto-renewable membership subscription (com.vega.running.member, $0.99 / 3 months, with a 2-week free trial). All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. RunningAir does not receive, store, or process any payment card information, billing details, or Apple ID credentials. Subscription status is verified locally via StoreKit.

Third-Party Services

RunningAir does not use any third-party analytics SDKs, advertising networks, crash reporting services, or tracking technologies. The Application contains no cookies, pixels, or similar tracking mechanisms.

Location Permission

RunningAir requests "When In Use" location permission to record your GPS track during an active run session. Background location is enabled so recording continues if you switch apps mid-run. A blue system indicator (iOS) will appear in the status bar or Dynamic Island whenever location is actively used in the background. Location tracking occurs only during active recording sessions and stops immediately when you end a run.

Children's Privacy

RunningAir is not directed at children under 16 years of age. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International Data Transfers

No data is transferred internationally, as all data remains on your device. If you export a file and share it, the transfer is entirely at your discretion.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Since RunningAir does not sell, share, or transmit any personal information, these rights are inherently respected. To exercise any rights, contact the Service Provider at vegaodm@outlook.com.

GDPR (European Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), your data is processed entirely on your local device. No personal data is transferred to any server. You may exercise all data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability) directly within the app or by contacting the Service Provider.

Security

All data is stored in the Application's private sandbox, which is protected by iOS operating system security. No data is transmitted over the network, so there is no risk of interception in transit.

Changes to This Policy

The Service Provider may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted with an updated effective date. The current version is always available at this URL.
