Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

Who this policy covers

This policy applies to the Run Walk Run app for iPhone, Apple Watch, Android (Google Play package com.runwalkrun.timer) and Wear OS, and to the website runwalkrun.org. The app is published on Google Play and the App Store by Physical Therapy Solutions LLC ("we", "us"), the developer named on the store listings for Run Walk Run. Contact: [email protected].

Run Walk Run is built to be private. No account is required and we do not collect, sell, or share your personal data. We run no servers that receive your workout data.

What stays on your device

Your timers, plans, settings and training-plan choices.
Your workout history within the app, including saved GPS routes. History is synced between your iPhone and Apple Watch over the connection between the two devices.

Data the app accesses, with your permission

Location (during a workout): GPS pace, distance, elevation and your route map.
Health and fitness data: workout distance, energy, heart rate, cadence and route are written to Apple Health or Health Connect; heart rate may be read from your watch or a Bluetooth heart-rate sensor. Motion/step data supplies cadence.
Calendar (optional, Android and iPhone): if you choose to add a race training plan, the app writes those sessions and your race day to a calendar on your device. On Android it reads the calendar list only to find a writable calendar. Nothing from your calendar is uploaded.
Bluetooth: to connect to a heart-rate sensor.
Notifications: optional interval alerts.

This data is used only to run the app on your device. It is not transmitted to us, and not sold, shared, or used for advertising. The only exception is Strava, if you choose to connect it (see below).

Third-party services

If you enable music, playback is handled by Apple Music or the music app you choose. Weather (where shown) is provided by Apple WeatherKit. The on-device Coach uses Apple's on-device model where available and sends nothing off the device. Purchases are processed by Apple or Google Play; we do not receive your payment details. These services are governed by their own privacy terms.

Strava (optional)

If you choose to connect Strava, the app sends your workouts to your Strava account. For each workout this includes its name, start time, duration, distance and, when recorded, its GPS route. You decide whether uploads happen automatically after every workout or only when you share one by hand, and you can disconnect at any time in the app's Settings. Nothing is sent to Strava unless you connect.

To sign in, the app opens Strava's own login page; we never see your Strava password. A small service on runwalkrun.org passes Strava's one-time login code and refresh request to Strava using our app credentials and returns the resulting tokens to your device. It does not store your tokens, workouts or any other data. The tokens are kept on your device only (in the iOS Keychain). Data you send to Strava is then handled under Strava's privacy policy. To revoke access, disconnect in the app or remove Run Walk Run under Settings → My Apps in your Strava account.

You can also export any workout as a GPX or TCX file and import it into Strava, Garmin Connect or another service yourself. Those files stay on your device until you share them.

Retention and deletion

Data lives on your device (and in Apple Health / Health Connect, which you control). Deleting the app removes its data. You can delete workouts in the app, or revoke permissions at any time in system settings.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date above.
