Privacy Policy

Paceleague ("Company") values your privacy and complies with applicable data protection laws.

1. Information We Collect

• Required: Username (ID), Nickname
• Running records submitted by the user
• Health data accessed via Android Health Connect (with explicit user permission):
  • Exercise sessions (start time, end time, activity type)
  • Running distance

2. How We Use Your Information

• Account creation and user identification
• Providing and operating the service
• Generating rankings based on running data
• Preventing unauthorized use

3. Health Data

Pace League accesses the following Health Connect data on Android devices, solely with your explicit permission:

• READ_EXERCISE: Exercise session data (start/end time, activity type) — used to calculate pace, duration, and bonus Rank Points.
• READ_DISTANCE: Running distance data — used to calculate Rank Points and display monthly statistics.
• WRITE_DISTANCE: Writing distance data to Health Connect.

Health data is used solely for app functionality (ranking and statistics). It is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising purposes. Health data is transmitted securely to our servers and is permanently deleted upon account deletion.

4. Data Retention

Upon account deletion, your personal data (nickname, email, password), running / health data, ranking history, land-grab territories, and any uploaded images or videos are deleted immediately. Your username is replaced so it can be reused, and deletion cannot be undone (there is no retention period). To preserve community context, posts and comments you already wrote may remain, shown anonymously as "Withdrawn user".
