Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Account information

When you create or use an account, we may collect information such as your name, email address, authentication provider, user ID, and account settings.

Training and activity data

GRIT is a running coach app, so the service may collect and process running, fitness, and wellness data, including:

• Runs, workouts, routes, GPS coordinates, distance, duration, pace, cadence, splits, laps, elevation, and treadmill activity.
• Heart rate, heart rate zones, heart rate variability, sleep, recovery, readiness, and related training metrics when you choose to connect a supported wearable or health data source.
• Race goals, training plans, workout schedule, rescheduled sessions, perceived effort, notes, and coach interactions.
• Device and sensor metadata, such as wearable provider, connected devices, and sync status.

Some of this information may be considered sensitive depending on where you live. You control whether to connect third-party services and device health permissions.

Connected services

If you connect Garmin, Apple Health, Strava, or another supported service, GRIT may receive data from that service according to the permissions you approve. We do not receive your Garmin, Apple, or Strava password.

You can revoke connected-service permissions through the provider, through your device settings, or through GRIT where supported.

Payment and subscription information

If you purchase a subscription, payments are handled by app stores or payment providers such as RevenueCat. We may receive subscription status, entitlement, renewal, cancellation, and period-end information. We do not store your full payment card details.

Notifications

If you enable push notifications, we collect and store push tokens so we can send training reminders, coach insights, plan updates, streak alerts, and other app notifications you choose to receive.

App, device, and diagnostics data

We may collect device type, operating system, app version, logs, crash reports, performance data, feature usage, and analytics events. We use this information to keep the app reliable, understand how features are used, and improve the product.

We aim to avoid sending sensitive personal information, exact GPS routes, names, or email addresses in diagnostics and analytics logs.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide the GRIT Runner app and core training features.
• Save and display your runs, routes, plans, zones, and history.
• Generate coach insights, debriefs, plan adjustments, and training summaries.
• Sync activities and workouts with connected services you authorize.
• Send notifications you request or enable.
• Process subscriptions and enforce paid features.
• Debug, secure, monitor, and improve the app.
• Detect abuse, protect accounts, and comply with legal obligations.

AI Coach Processing

GRIT may use AI systems to generate training insights, debriefs, summaries, and plan suggestions. To do this, we may send relevant training context, such as run metrics, route-derived signals, recent history, plan context, data quality signals, and user preferences, to an AI provider.

We do not intentionally send unnecessary account identifiers to the AI provider. AI outputs are coaching suggestions and are not medical advice.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal training data.

We may share information with:

• Service providers that help us run the app, including hosting, database, authentication, analytics, crash reporting, push notifications, subscription management, and AI processing providers.
• Connected services, such as Garmin, Apple Health, or Strava, when you authorize syncing or sharing.
• Legal, safety, or compliance recipients when required by law or necessary to protect users, the app, or others.
• A successor organization if GRIT is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets.

Health, Fitness, and Location Data

GRIT uses health, fitness, and location data only to provide running, training, coach, route, and plan features. We do not use this data for advertising.

Exact route and GPS data can reveal sensitive places such as your home, work, or regular running locations. Be careful when sharing run cards, route images, or activity exports publicly.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the app, maintain your training history, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the service.

If you delete your account, we will delete or de-identify personal information unless we need to retain it for legal, security, fraud-prevention, payment, or backup purposes.

Your Choices and Controls

You may be able to:

• Update account settings in the app.
• Disconnect Garmin, Apple Health, Strava, or other connected services.
• Change Apple Health permissions in iOS Settings or the Health app.
• Disable push notifications in device settings.
• Choose whether to share runs to third-party services where supported.
• Request access, correction, export, or deletion of your personal information.

Some rights depend on your location and applicable law.

Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including access controls, encrypted transport, row-level access controls where applicable, and restricted handling of provider tokens.

No system is perfectly secure. You should use a strong password, protect your device, and keep your account credentials private.

Children

GRIT is not intended for children under 13, or a higher minimum age where local law requires it. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are not old enough to use the service.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have different data protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice through the app, website, or another reasonable method.
