Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 26, 2026

Information We Collect

Running Momma is a training and nutrition app for runners. The app stores the following information locally on your device:

  • Weight and unit preferences (kg/lbs)
  • Temperature settings (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
  • Run parameters (duration, course type, target pace)
  • Nutrition calculation history
  • Training plan selections and workout completion status
  • App preferences (language, time format, fueling strategy)

We do not collect personal identification information such as your name, email address, or location data unless you voluntarily connect a third-party service (see below).

Data Storage

Core app data (preferences, calculation history, training plan progress) is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly enable a third-party integration. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all locally stored data.

Third-Party Integrations

Running Momma offers optional integrations with third-party fitness services. These integrations are entirely opt-in and require your explicit consent before any data is shared.

Garmin Connect

When you connect your Garmin account, the app sends structured workout data (workout names, dates, intervals, and pace targets) to Garmin Connect via our secure backend server. The app also receives activity data (distance, duration, pace, heart rate) from your Garmin device after you complete a run. This data is used solely to display your workout results within the app.

Strava

When you connect your Strava account, the app receives activity data (distance, duration, pace, heart rate) from Strava to display alongside your training plan. The app does not post activities to Strava or modify your Strava data in any way.

Apple HealthKit

On iOS, the app can write structured workouts to Apple HealthKit for syncing to Apple Watch. The app does not read any health data from HealthKit.

You can disconnect any integration at any time from the app's Settings. Disconnecting removes stored credentials and stops all data exchange with that service. Each third-party service has its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the data practices of third-party services.

Backend Server

For Garmin Connect integration, we operate a backend server that facilitates the OAuth authentication flow and relays workout data between the app and Garmin's APIs. This server stores your Garmin OAuth tokens (encrypted) and a device-generated anonymous identifier. It does not store your name, email, or any personal information. Activity data received from Garmin is cached temporarily on the server and delivered to your device.

Error Monitoring

The app uses Sentry for crash reporting. Sentry collects only technical details (device type, OS version, error logs) without capturing personal, nutrition, or health information. This data is processed by Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) under their privacy policy and is retained for 90 days.

No Tracking or Analytics

The app does not use tracking, analytics, advertising, or third-party data services beyond those described above. No behavioral monitoring, ad profiling, or external information sharing occurs.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Data is only shared with third-party fitness services (Garmin, Strava) when you explicitly enable those integrations, and with Sentry for crash reporting as described above.

Children's Privacy

Running Momma is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are under 16, please do not use this app without parental or guardian consent.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: Request a copy of data we hold about you.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data. For local data, uninstalling the app deletes everything. For server-side data (Garmin tokens), contact us or disconnect from the app.
  • Portability: Request your data in a portable format.
  • Objection: Object to the processing of your data.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.

For EU/EEA residents (GDPR): The legal basis for processing your data is your consent (for third-party integrations) and legitimate interest (for crash reporting). You may withdraw consent at any time by disconnecting integrations in Settings.

For California residents (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. You have the right to know what data we collect, request deletion, and opt out of any future sale of personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.

Data Retention & Deletion

Local data is retained on your device until you uninstall the app or clear it manually from Settings. Server-side Garmin tokens are retained as long as your Garmin account is connected and are deleted immediately upon disconnection. Sentry crash data is retained for 90 days. To request complete deletion of any server-side data, contact us at the email address below.

International Data Transfers

Our backend server and Sentry may process data outside your country of residence. These transfers are necessary to provide the service and are protected by appropriate safeguards.

Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
