Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 3, 2026
Last Updated: February 3, 2026

            Our Commitment to Your Privacy: RunHub is built with your privacy in mind. We don't ask for your name, email, or any personal information. You can use the app completely anonymously.
        

What Information We Collect

Anonymous ID ("Ghost ID")

When you first open RunHub, we create a random ID for your device. Think of it like a library card number - it helps us remember your favorite events, but it doesn't tell us who you are. You can reset this ID anytime in the app settings.

Your Favorites and Preferences

We store which running events you've marked as favorites and your app preferences (like dark mode settings). This information stays on your device and syncs to our servers so you don't lose your favorites if you get a new phone.

What We DON'T Collect

Your name, email, or phone number
Your location or GPS data
Photos or personal files
Information about other apps you use

Why We Need This Information

We use your Ghost ID and favorites to:

Remember which events you've favorited
Send you notifications about events you care about (if you enable notifications)
Keep your settings when you reinstall the app

Third-Party Services

Push Notifications (Firebase)

We use Google's Firebase service to send you notifications about your favorited events. Firebase may collect basic device information. You can disable notifications anytime in your device settings.

Advertisements (Google AdMob)

We show ads in the app to keep RunHub free. Google AdMob may use your device's advertising ID to show you relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings:

Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking → Request Apps Not to Track

Your Data, Your Control

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information:

All data is encrypted when sent between your device and our servers
We don't collect sensitive personal information
Your favorites are stored securely on your device

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

RunHub doesn't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you're a parent and believe your child has used the app, contact us and we'll delete their data.

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you're in the EU or California, you have additional rights:

Access: Request to see what data we have about you
Delete: Request deletion of your data
Opt-out: We don't sell your personal information

To exercise these rights, contact us with your Ghost ID (found in app Settings).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you in the app. Continuing to use RunHub after changes means you accept the updated policy.
