This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our fitness tracking and analysis application. ## Information We Collect ### Account Information - ****Email address**** — Used for account creation and authentication - ****Name**** — Optional, for personalization - ****Password**** — Securely hashed and stored for account security ### Training Profile - ****Maximum heart rate**** — For personalized training zone calculations - ****Resting heart rate**** — For fitness baseline metrics - ****Lactate threshold heart rate**** — For advanced training analysis ### Activity Data When you upload files exported from Garmin Connect, we collect: - Activity type and sport - Date and time - Distance, duration, and pace - Heart rate (average and maximum) - Cadence and stride length - Elevation metrics - Steps count - Running load - Body Battery drain - Lap times and elapsed time - Calories burned ### Daily Health Metrics - ****Sleep data**** — Score, duration, quality, sleep need, bedtime, wake time - ****Recovery metrics**** — Resting heart rate, HRV, Body Battery level, weight - ****Physiological data**** — Pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiration rate - ****Performance data**** — VO2max estimates ### Feedback Messages you submit through our contact form. ## How We Use Your Information We use your information solely to: - Provide and maintain your account - Analyze your training data and present insights - Display personalized dashboards and charts - Calculate training zones and performance metrics - Track your progress over time - Improve our service based on feedback ## AI-Generated Insights AI summaries are ****off by default****. If you opt in, you can choose from the available NVIDIA Nemotron, Claude (Anthropic), and OpenAI providers. You must confirm your provider choice before any AI summary is requested. Your selected provider processes the calculated training and health facts needed for narration through its API. Only fields available for the requested summary are included. We do not automatically send requests to another provider when your selected provider is unavailable. ### **Data included in AI prompts** Depending on which AI summary you request, Runima may include the following data. This list reflects the fields used by our current AI prompt builders. #### **Activity stories** Activity date and type; distance and duration; average and best pace; average and maximum heart rate; dominant heart-rate zone; cadence; stride length; elevation gain and loss; workout classification; lap number, distance, duration, pace, heart rate, and cadence; Running load; cardiac efficiency; running economy; heart-rate intensity; cardiac decoupling; CTL, ATL, TSB, ACWR, load changes and their calculated labels; VO2max; HRV; sleep duration and quality; Body Battery and recovery labels; and the type, severity, and unresolved status of an active injury. #### **Readiness summaries** Readiness score and status; whether a hard workout is supported; CTL, ATL, TSB, ACWR and their changes and calculated labels; VO2max and its trend; HRV and its trend; resting heart rate; sleep duration and score; Body Battery; weekly, 30-day, and 90-day training narratives; health and performance trends; race-time outlook; automated insights; training-risk level and reasons; active flags; and Runima’s deterministic summary and recommendation. #### **Health and recovery summaries** Recovery score and status; sleep duration, score, consistency, debt, and their trends; HRV, resting heart rate, Body Battery, pulse oximetry, respiration rate, and their trends and calculated labels; deterministic sleep, heart-rate, and physiological summaries; automated recovery insights; training-risk level and reasons; active recovery flags; and Runima’s deterministic summary and recommendation. #### **Training-load summaries** Fatigue score and status; whether a hard workout is supported; CTL, ATL, TSB, ACWR, their trends, and their calculated labels; deterministic training-load context; next-week directive and headline; trailing four-week distance baseline; recommended weekly distance range and long-run cap; reasons for those limits; training-risk level and reasons; active fatigue flags; and Runima’s deterministic summary and recommendation. #### **Performance summaries** Performance score and status; CTL and TSB with their changes and calculated labels; VO2max and its changes; cardiac efficiency; aerobic cost ratio; cardiac decoupling; stride length; average and best pace and their changes; deterministic highlights, efficiency, speed, fitness, and running-mechanics summaries, which may include run count, total distance, longest run, and cadence; training-risk level and reasons; active performance flags; and Runima’s deterministic summary and recommendation. Prompts can therefore contain health-related and potentially sensitive data, including heart-rate and HRV measurements, sleep data, pulse oximetry, respiration, recovery data, training-risk assessments, and active injury details. They can also contain Runima-generated classifications, flags, risk explanations, race estimates, and training recommendations derived from your imported data. ### **Data not included in AI prompts** We do not intentionally include your name, email address, password, account ID, authentication credentials, contact details, or support messages. We do not send raw second-by-second activity streams or raw daily records. An activity story may include the summarized lap fields listed above when lap data is available. When you opt in, the prompt is transmitted to and processed by your selected provider. Its handling is governed by the applicable [**NVIDIA Privacy Policy**](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/about-nvidia/privacy-policy/), [**Anthropic Privacy Policy**](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy), or [**OpenAI Privacy Policy**](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/). You can disable AI or change providers in AI Insights settings. AI-generated narration stored by Runima is retained and deleted like your other analytics data. ## Analytics We use PostHog to understand how the application is used and improve the product. Analytics events are sent through our own domain and processed by PostHog (US region) acting as our data processor — never sold or shared with advertisers. - Page views and navigation patterns - Feature interactions (which tools and dashboards you use) - Session duration and general usage frequency You are identified by your account ID — your email address is never sent to the analytics system. Analytics data is stored in browser localStorage (not a cookie) and is cleared when you sign out. ## Data Sharing and Third Parties **We do not sell or rent your personal information or share it with advertisers.** We disclose information to service providers only as needed to operate Runima, including PostHog for product analytics and, only when you opt in, your selected AI provider (NVIDIA, Anthropic, or OpenAI) for narration. The AI disclosure is limited to the calculated training and health facts described above. ## Data Security We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information: - Passwords are securely hashed using modern encryption - Database access is restricted and encrypted - Secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission - Session management with automatic expiration ## Your Rights ### Right to Access You can request a complete copy of all data we have collected about you at any time. ### Right to Deletion You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. Your account, activities, metrics, and feedback will be permanently removed. This action is irreversible. ### Right to Portability You can export your data in a machine-readable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the [**contact form**](https://runima.fit/contact) or at [**support@runima.fit**](mailto:support@runima.fit). ## Data Retention We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently removed from our systems. ## Data Source All fitness and health data is collected only when you explicitly upload files exported from the Garmin Connect website. We do not automatically sync or collect data from your Garmin device or account. You have complete control over what data you choose to import into Runima. ## Age Requirement Our service is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18.
