Your running life is yours. The app works without an account, nothing is sold, and there are no ads or tracking.
Effective November 10, 2026.
Everything stays on your iPhone: races, medals, photos, bibs, certificates, your training plan, notes and the names you tag. We never see it.
Signing in lets you share with family and friends and back up your data. Here is everything the app stores on our server, and why:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your Apple sign-in ID and the name you choose | Your account, and how friends see you. You can use Apple's Hide My Email. |
| Who you're connected with, and your groups | So you can share with them. |
| Races and runs you share: name, dates, place, which races each person runs, finish times, meet-ups | So everyone in a shared race sees the same thing. |
| Photos you add to a shared race (medal, finish line, group, bib, certificate, backdrop) | So everyone in that race gets them. |
| Your backup: your races, medals, photos and training plan | So you can restore after losing or replacing your phone. Made once a week on Wi-Fi, or when you tap Back up now. You can turn automatic backup off in Profile. |
| A notification token for your phone | To tell you when someone adds you to a race, run or group. |
Only people you connect with or invite. There is no public profile, search or directory. Someone you invite sees only a race's name, date, place and who invited them until they accept. Your backup is readable only by your account. Every record on the server is locked so only the people in it can read it.
Apple Health data stays on your phone: the app reads your workouts there to tick off your plan, and never uploads them. No live location, contacts, advertising identifiers, third-party analytics or tracking. Nothing is sold or shared with advertisers.
Teens 13 to 17 can have their own account when a parent invites them, with the same invite-only protections as everyone. Children under 13 don't get an account; a parent can add them to their own races.
With Supabase, a hosted database service, in the United States. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Notifications are delivered through Apple Push Notification service.
Disconnect from anyone or leave any race or group at any time. Profile › Delete account deletes your account, what you shared, your photos on the server and your backup right away; the service's own safety copies roll off within 30 days. What's on your phone stays there until you delete the app.
If this changes, we'll update this page and the date above, and tell you in the app before anything new leaves your phone. Questions: support@friendsrunrepeat.com.
