Use of local storage

We use the local storage function (something like a more advanced version of cookies) for saving a game session temporarily, and is deleted upon the conclusion (quit/time's up) of the game.

The app saves your score temporarily if you close the app directly but didn't click quit. However, the timer will not be paused.

If you leave one game, then start a different game, the saved game session will be deleted.

Use of third-party services

metrunner uses certain third-party services, such as Google Maps, Google Analytics and AdMob. Please refer to their terms and privacy policies on how they handle personal data.

metrunner is built using Adobe PhoneGap and its plugins.

Privacy and personal data

Metrunner, Metvigo, Metplorer, Landrunning

We collect your score and other statistics for result processing, and also for your reference.

We collect how far you've run and how much calories you've burnt. (Calories are calculated by multiplying time (hours) with your weight (kg) and a factor of 8 for jogging. This is a very simplified way to calculate your energy burned. It should only be taken as a very rough reference, and must not be used in any medical contexts.) That's for your own reference. We do store those on our servers, but that's for your own reference and we do not use them for any other purposes. (You can ask us for the numbers at any time.) We also store basic settings (display name, email, subscription status, position display setting) on our servers, so that you may have a better experience when metrunning.

Other data stored on our servers include your registration date and time, verification codes (for verification), and your password, so that metrunner can run smoothly and safely.

If you use Facebook social login for authentication in our apps, we store your email address associated with your Facebook account, and also your Facebook access token.

Specific to Metrunner

Geolocation (GPS) is a core part of the metrunner app. The app must know your position first before it can tell you're at a control point or not!

We do not store your location data on our servers. Your location remains in your phone only, so the app can check your punch and display your location on your screen (you know you can switch it on/off in Settings?)

Specific to Metvigo entry platform

We collect your personal information that are necessary for the event.

Telephone number and emergency contact are collected to ensure the organisers can inform you in time of any urgent changes to the events, and also for your safety. If you encountered an accident during the event, the organisers may inform your emergency contact.

You may choose to enter additional information in the pre-fill settings (such as timing chip number) to speed up the event entry process.

Your payment information (card and address) is stored completely on the payment servers of Stripe, and not on our servers at all.

General use of data

We may summarise the data on our servers for statistical purposes. Your personal information will not be identifiable in those statistics, so don't worry.

Advertisements (AdMob) and statistical scripts (Google Analytics) may use cookies, and also collect data on how you use the app. Your personal identifiers (name, telephone, email etc.) will not be collected.

Do you know you have the right to check, revise or delete any data you gave us? Please email us at info@metrunner.com.
