Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us.

Effective Date: July 2026

Last Updated: July 2026

1. Our Commitment

At Run365, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Run365 collects, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices available to you.

Run365 is designed to help runners track, analyse and improve their training while keeping them in control of their personal and activity information.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on the Run365 features you choose to use.

Account Information

  • Your name.
  • Your email address.
  • A securely stored password hash.
  • Your account preferences and settings.
  • Your account creation and login information.

Profile and Training Information

  • Your profile image or avatar.
  • Your weight, when you choose to provide it.
  • Your running and training goals.
  • Your goal races and target dates.
  • Your training preferences.

Activity Information

Activities that you record manually or import from an authorised fitness service may include:

  • Activity title and activity type.
  • Activity date and time.
  • Distance.
  • Moving time and elapsed time.
  • Pace and speed.
  • Elevation information.
  • Heart-rate information, when available.
  • Calories, when available.
  • Activity source and external activity identifiers.
  • Notes or other information you choose to add.

3. Third-Party Fitness Services

Run365 allows you to connect supported third-party fitness services. Connecting a third-party account is optional and only occurs when you choose to authorise the connection.

Run365 uses the official authorisation process provided by the relevant service. Your third-party account password is entered directly with that provider and is never received or stored by Run365.

Run365 only accesses information covered by the permissions you grant and needed to provide the requested integration features.


Strava Integration

Run365 integrates with Strava through the official Strava API and OAuth authorisation process.

When you connect Strava, Run365 receives authorisation tokens that allow it to access the Strava information covered by the permissions you approve. Run365 never receives or stores your Strava password.

Information Imported from Strava

Depending on the permissions you grant and the information available for an activity, Run365 may import:

  • Your Strava athlete identifier.
  • Strava activity identifiers.
  • Activity titles and sport types.
  • Activity dates and times.
  • Distance.
  • Moving time and elapsed time.
  • Pace and speed information.
  • Elevation information.
  • Heart-rate information, when available.
  • Other activity summary information made available through the authorised Strava API connection.

Why We Import Strava Information

Run365 uses imported Strava information to:

  • Import your authorised activities into your Run365 account.
  • Display your personal activity history.
  • Calculate your personal running and training statistics.
  • Track progress towards your goals.
  • Provide personal training insights and activity analysis.

Single-User Visibility

Information obtained through the Strava API is displayed only to the authenticated Run365 user who authorised the Strava connection.

Run365 does not display Strava API data to other Run365 users and does not disclose that data to third parties, except where strictly necessary to operate the requested service or where disclosure is required by law.

Disconnecting Strava

You may disconnect Strava at any time through the Connected Services section of your Run365 account. You may also revoke Run365's access through your Strava account.

When your Strava connection is disconnected or revoked, Run365 removes the authorisation tokens associated with the connection and permanently deletes activity data imported from Strava from its active systems.

Disconnecting Strava does not delete activities that you entered manually or other information that did not originate from Strava.

If you reconnect Strava in the future, you may import your available activities again.

Strava Activity and Authorisation Events

Run365 supports Strava webhook notifications used to process relevant activity changes, activity deletions and account deauthorisation events.

When Run365 receives a valid notification that a connected athlete has revoked access, or that imported Strava activity data must no longer be retained, the associated Strava data is removed in accordance with Run365's deletion procedures.

4. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

  • Create, secure and maintain your Run365 account.
  • Provide the features and services you choose to use.
  • Import activities from services you authorise.
  • Display your personal activity and training history.
  • Calculate statistics and training progress.
  • Save your goals, preferences and profile settings.
  • Maintain the security and reliability of Run365.
  • Diagnose technical problems.
  • Respond to support and privacy requests.
  • Improve the performance and usability of the platform.

5. Data Sharing

Run365 does not sell your personal information.

Run365 does not disclose your personal information except:

  • when necessary to provide a service you have requested;
  • when required to protect the security and operation of Run365;
  • when working with service providers that assist in operating the platform and are required to handle information appropriately;
  • when required by law, regulation or a valid legal process.

Data obtained through the Strava API is not shared with other Run365 users or used for social feeds, public leaderboards or cross-user comparisons.

6. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Run365 does not use personal information or data obtained through third-party fitness service APIs, including the Strava API, to train, test, develop or improve artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

Run365 does not sell, license or provide this information to third parties for artificial intelligence or machine-learning training purposes.

7. Cookies and Sessions

Run365 uses cookies and similar browser technologies where necessary to:

  • keep you securely signed in;
  • maintain your account session;
  • remember certain preferences;
  • protect the security of your account;
  • support essential website functionality.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. However, essential account and sign-in features may not work correctly without them.

8. Data Security

Run365 uses reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These safeguards include:

  • secure HTTPS connections;
  • secure password hashing;
  • controlled access to application and database systems;
  • secure authentication and session handling;
  • validation of requests and database queries;
  • measures designed to protect connected-service credentials and authorisation tokens.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Run365 will continue to review and improve its safeguards as the platform develops.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Run365 retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services you use, maintain the platform, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and meet applicable legal obligations.

Strava Data

Strava activity data is retained while your authorised Strava connection remains active and while the information is required to provide your Run365 activity history and statistics.

When you disconnect Strava or revoke Run365's access, activity information imported from Strava is permanently deleted from Run365's active systems.

Run365 Account Deletion

You may request the deletion of your Run365 account by contacting Run365.

When your account is deleted, personal information and activity data associated with your account, including information imported from connected fitness services, will be deleted from Run365's active systems.

Limited information may be retained where reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation, prevent fraud, resolve disputes or maintain essential security records. Any retained information will remain protected and will not be used for unrelated purposes.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to:

  • ask whether Run365 holds personal information about you;
  • request access to your personal information;
  • correct or update inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion of personal information that Run365 is no longer authorised to retain;
  • object to certain processing of your personal information;
  • disconnect an authorised third-party fitness service;
  • request deletion of your Run365 account;
  • raise a concern about how your information is handled.

Run365 is based in South Africa and handles personal information in accordance with applicable South African data-protection requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Run365 may need to verify your identity before completing an access, correction or deletion request.

11. Children's Privacy

Run365 is not directed at children who are not legally able to consent to the processing of their personal information.

Where parental or guardian involvement is required by applicable law, Run365 should only be used with the involvement and permission of that parent or legal guardian.

12. External Services and Links

Run365 may contain links to external websites or services, including connected fitness providers.

Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Run365 is not responsible for the privacy practices of an external service when you use that service directly.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Run365 may update this Privacy Policy when its services, legal obligations or privacy practices change.

When changes are made, the date displayed at the top of this page will be updated.

Where a change materially affects how personal information is handled, Run365 will take reasonable steps to bring the change to users' attention.
