Email Address: Collected during account creation for user identification and communication purposes. Password: Stored securely for account authentication (hashed and encrypted). Running Data: We collect data related to your running activities (e.g., duration, pace, and distance). Note: TrackRunner does not collect any location data. Cookies: We use a cookie to store your JSON Web Token (JWT) in your browser’s local storage to maintain your session and authenticate your account.

Database Provider: Your data is stored on secure servers managed by our third-party database provider, who is bound by confidentiality agreements to protect your information. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with any other parties.

4. Cookies and Tracking

TrackRunner only uses a cookie to store the JWT token in your browser’s local storage. This token is used for session management and user authentication. You may clear cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may disrupt your use of the app.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

Encryption: All data is encrypted during transmission and at rest. Secure Servers: Your data is stored on secure servers with limited access. Password Hashing: Your password is securely hashed, ensuring it cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to protect your data, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
