Runaro
Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 19, 2026
Runaro is a running plan and GPS run tracker made by SnailPixel ("we"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app.
The short version
- Your training plan, runs, GPS routes, effort ratings and settings are stored only on your phone.
- There is no account and no server of ours. We never receive your runs, your routes or your location.
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which collects some device information to show ads. Plus subscribers see no ads.
Information stored on your phone
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your goal, race date, days per week, level and optional 5K time | To build your plan |
| Runs: date, distance, time, pace, splits, GPS route, effort rating | History, personal bests, charts and adapting your plan |
| Settings (units, voice coach, Plus status) | To remember your choices |
This data stays in the app's private storage. It is not sent to us or to anyone else. If you have Android's device backup turned on, Android may include it in your own Google backup, as it does for most apps; we cannot read that backup.
Location
Runaro asks for precise location so it can measure distance and pace and draw your route while you record a run. While a run is recording, tracking continues with the screen off and Android shows an ongoing notification. Runaro does not use your location when you are not recording, never sends it to us and never shares it with anyone, including advertisers.
Notifications
Used only for the ongoing "run in progress" notification while you record a run. No marketing notifications.
Voice coach
The spoken cues are recordings built into the app. Runaro does not use the microphone.
Ads (free version)
The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, approximate location derived from your IP address, device information, and how you interact with ads. Ads may be personalised where the law and your choices allow.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Runaro shows Google's consent form before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Ad privacy choices.
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Android settings.
- No information about your runs, routes, plan or GPS location is sent with ad requests.
- Plus subscribers see no ads.

Purchases
Runaro Plus is a subscription handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your payment details. The app only learns from Google Play whether your subscription is active. Manage or cancel it in Google Play > Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions.
Reviews and links
Runaro may show Google Play's in-app review prompt once; any review is handled by Google Play. Links to this policy and to support open in your browser or email app.
Children and teens
Runaro is for a general audience aged 13 and over. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Keeping and deleting your data
Everything stays on your phone until you remove it. You can delete any run from its summary screen, start a new plan at any time, or delete everything by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app. Because we do not hold a copy, there is nothing for us to delete on a server.
Security
Your data never leaves your phone through Runaro. Communication by the Google SDKs (ads, billing) is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
