Policy

This privacy policy sets forth our principles with respect to information collection and distribution through the services provided by RunPartner.com.

Information Collection

RunPartner.com may collect data and other information from you as further described below:

  • Personal Data: We collect personal data when you voluntarily choose to provide it, primarily when you register for access to RunPartner.com and contact us with inquiries.  Wherever we collect personal data we make an effort to provide a link to this privacy policy.
  • Location Data: Some RunPartner.com services include location-based features, such as mapping running routes. To provide these location-based features, RunPartner.com may collect geographically identifying information from you.
  • Non-Identifiable Data: When you use RunPartner.com, we may receive personally non-identifiable information about your use of our services.  We may aggregate this information to track site usage, such as the total number of visitors to each page. However, no personal data is available or used in this process. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to prospective partners and investors.

Information Distribution

RunPartner.com employs a simplistic viewing permissions model1,2 and allows the following states for sharing your information:

  • Me: Only you can view your information
  • Me + Friends: Only you and anyone with whom you have made an explicit friend connection with can view your information
  • Me + Friends + Teams: You, your friends, and anyone with whom you share a team can view your information
  • All Members: All RunPartner.com members can view your information

1The default setting is Me + Friends + Teams

2All members are searchable through the search page, but no additional information is available if privacy setting has been set to Me.

Information Security

We take steps to protect your data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These steps include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store data.

To protect the longevity of your data, RunPartner.com makes a daily backup of our databases which is sent to three separate datacenters.  Additionally, we offer a full data exporting tool, which ensures that you will always be able to backup your information locally.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

The services offered through RunPartner.com may change from time to time.  As a result, it may be necessary to amend this privacy policy.  Accordingly, we reserve the right to update or modify this privacy policy at any time and without prior notice.
