PRIVACY POLICY & TERMS OF SERVICE – RUNVIA

Effective Date: January 21, 2026

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

Runvia (“the App”) is an AI-powered running assistant that provides training insights, performance analysis, and workout recording. By accessing or using Runvia, you agree to this Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

PART I – PRIVACY POLICY
1. Data Controller (GDPR)

For the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Data Controller is:

Runvia – Independent Developer

Email: runviaitalia@gmail.com

The Data Controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data described in this document.

2. Overview of Data Processing

Runvia follows a Privacy-by-Design approach. We process only the minimum data necessary to:

• Provide AI-powered training insights.

• Maintain secure authentication and cloud synchronization.

• Record in-app GPS workouts during active sessions (including background processing).

• Improve app performance and stability.

3. Location Data and Background Access (Google Play Compliance)

Runvia collects location data to enable fitness tracking, route mapping, and real-time pace analysis even when the app is closed or not in use, but strictly only when a workout recording session is actively running.

• Foreground Service: The App uses a foreground service with a persistent notification to ensure the user is always aware that location tracking is active.

• Purpose: This data is used solely to generate your workout map and activity metrics. It is not used for advertising or shared with third-party brokers.

• User Control: Tracking starts only upon your explicit "Start" command and ceases immediately when you "Stop" or "Save" the session.

4. Sensor Data & Activity Recognition

Runvia uses the ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION permission and device sensors (accelerometer, barometer, step count) to:

• Accurately count steps and detect movement type.

• Provide elevation data during runs.

• This data is processed locally and synced to your secure cloud backup if logged in.

5. Data Integration & Storage

5.1 Strava API Integration: With your OAuth authorization, we access Athlete ID, activity metrics, heart rate, and GPS coordinates. This data is used exclusively for coaching insights and progress tracking.

5.2 Supabase – Cloud Backup: Runvia uses Supabase for authentication and automatic cloud backup. Access is restricted via Row Level Security (RLS); only you can access your data.

5.3 Google Gemini AI: Selected metrics are transmitted to Google Gemini API via encrypted HTTPS for generating insights. Data is not used to train public models.

5.4 Analytics: Firebase Analytics collects limited technical usage data to monitor app stability.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

You can request full account and data deletion at any time by emailing runviaitalia@gmail.com. Data stored in Supabase and Strava tokens will be purged within 30 days.

PART II – TERMS OF SERVICE

7. Medical Disclaimer

Runvia is not a medical provider. The App provides informational AI-generated suggestions only. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program.

8. Assumption of Risk & Liability

Running involves inherent physical risks. You voluntarily assume full responsibility for injuries. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the independent developer shall not be liable for personal injury, loss of data, or interruptions in third-party API services (Strava, Google, Supabase, Firebase).

🇮🇹 VERSIONE ITALIANA (INTEGRATA)

1. Titolare: Runvia – Sviluppatore indipendente (runviaitalia@gmail.com).

2. Posizione in Background: Runvia raccoglie i dati sulla posizione per consentire il monitoraggio dell'attività e la mappatura dei percorsi anche quando l'app è chiusa o non in uso, ma esclusivamente durante una sessione di allenamento attiva avviata dall'utente.

3. Dati Trattati:

• Backup Cloud (Supabase): Backup automatico per la persistenza dei dati.

• Attività Strava: Previa autorizzazione, per analisi performance.

• Sensori: Uso di ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION per contapassi e analisi movimento.
