Privacy Policy · effective 14 September 2026

Your runs are not our business.

Vanoor is a running app for iPhone and Apple Watch made by a single independent developer. It has no account system, no analytics SDK, no advertising and no server of its own that stores your data. This page explains, plainly, what happens to your data — in the app and on this website.

Short version: your workouts are saved to Apple Health and to Vanoor's own storage on your devices. Your routes stay on your devices. If you use iCloud, copies go to your private iCloud database, which we cannot access. The only third party that ever receives your runs is Strava — and only if you connect it yourself.

Who is responsible

The data controller for Vanoor and vanoor.app is:
Felix Machan, sole trader (egyéni vállalkozó), Hungary

What the app processes, and where it stays

DataUsed forWhere it lives
Location during a runShowing your position on the route, recording the route, distance and paceOn your Watch and iPhone; the route is written to Apple Health as part of the workout
Heart rate, calories, cadence and other sensor dataLive metrics, zones and the run summaryApple Health and Vanoor's local storage on your devices. Never uploaded to iCloud by Vanoor.
Routes you import or planFollowing them on the WatchOn your devices; optionally in your private iCloud database
Your first name and age (optional)Greeting you, and calculating default heart-rate zonesOn your devices only
Settings and screen layoutsConfiguring the Watch run screensOn your devices; optionally in your private iCloud database

Vanoor reads back from Apple Health only the workouts it recorded itself. It never reads your other health data, and it never uses health data for advertising, marketing or profiling.

Apple services

Strava (optional)

If you connect Strava in Settings, Vanoor uploads the runs you record directly from your iPhone to Strava's API. That is the only direction: Vanoor reads nothing from your Strava account beyond your name, which it shows only to you. The authorisation tokens are stored in your device's Keychain. Nothing passes through a Vanoor server. You can disconnect at any time in Settings, or revoke Vanoor at strava.com → Settings → My Apps; either way the tokens and your Strava name are deleted from the device. Strava's handling of your data is governed by Strava's privacy policy.

What we do not do

This website

vanoor.app is a static site. It uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-first page-view counter that does not fingerprint visitors or store personal data. The site sets no cookies. Our hosting provider and CDN see the IP address of requests as part of serving the pages, as any website does.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask what data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, or object to its processing. Because Vanoor keeps your data on your own devices and in your own Apple and Strava accounts, in practice you exercise these rights directly: delete a run or route in the app or in Apple Health, disconnect Strava, or delete the app. For anything else write to [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the Hungarian data protection authority (NAIH, naih.hu) or your local supervisory authority.

Children

Vanoor is not directed at children under 16 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published here with a new effective date. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
