Privacy policy

Last updated:

Kanvify is an iPhone app that helps you start running. This policy explains what data the app and this website handle, where it goes and the choices you have.

The short version: your runs stay on your iPhone. Kanvify has no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and we can’t see your runs.

Who we are

Kanvify is made by Plus Ultra Industries, LLC, a limited liability company registered in Delaware, USA under Delaware file number 6304929, with its registered office at 651 N Broad St, Suite 206, Middletown, DE 19709, USA (“we”, “us”). We’re the controller of the personal data described in this policy. For anything about privacy, including requests to use your rights, email privacy@kanvify.com. Email is the quickest way to reach us.

Your data stays on your iPhone

Kanvify 1.0 has no accounts and no Kanvify servers. Your runs, plan progress, settings and GPS routes are stored only on your iPhone, in the app’s own storage, until you delete them (see “Deleting your data”).

They’re included in your phone’s own backups (iCloud Backup or a backup on your computer), which you control. We can’t see any of it.

If you choose to, you can add your height, weight and birth year in Settings › Body. They’re optional, they stay on your iPhone like everything else, and Kanvify uses them only to estimate the calories (active energy) you burn on a run.

Location

Kanvify reads your location only during an outdoor run, including while the screen is locked, to measure your distance, pace and route. The route is then saved with the run, so you can see it in your history and on the run’s map, and in anything you choose to share or export.

  • iOS asks for your permission first.
  • Kanvify asks for precise location, because approximate location isn’t accurate enough to measure a run.
  • Kanvify never reads your location outside a run, and your location is never sent to us.

Motion and fitness

On a treadmill there’s no GPS, so Kanvify uses your iPhone’s motion sensors (Motion & Fitness) to count your steps and estimate the distance. This data stays on your device.

Apple Health

  • To keep the voice coach working while your iPhone is locked, Kanvify starts a workout session, which needs your permission. iOS shows this as permission to save workouts to Health, but Kanvify saves nothing there unless you turn on Save to Apple Health.
  • If you turn on Save to Apple Health, each run is saved to Apple Health as a workout with its distance, active energy and route.
  • Kanvify doesn’t read your Health data. If a future version needs to read it, it will ask you first and we’ll update this policy.
  • Kanvify never uses your health or fitness data (including Motion & Fitness data and your body details) for advertising, marketing or analytics. It never reaches us, and we never sell it or share it with anyone.
  • If you delete a run in Kanvify, its copy in Apple Health stays. You manage that copy in the Health app.
  • You can change these permissions at any time in iOS Settings or in the Health app.

Maps

To draw a map behind a route, the app asks Apple Maps (MapKit) for map images of that area. The request tells Apple which area to draw, along with standard internet data such as your IP address. It doesn’t include your route line, your times or other details of your run, and it doesn’t reach us. Apple handles it under its privacy policy. Without a signal, your route is drawn on a plain background.

The voice coach

The coach speaks on your iPhone, using the voices built into it. Kanvify doesn’t use the microphone and doesn’t record anything.

Reminders and Live Activities

Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone as local notifications, and the Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island is updated on the device. There’s no push server.

Diagnostics and crash reports

The on-device log. Kanvify keeps a log of its own events on your iPhone, such as which screens you open, the settings you change and how the run engine behaved, along with your iPhone model, your iOS and Kanvify versions and the app’s language, to help us fix problems. It’s never sent anywhere automatically. It leaves your phone only if you choose to share it, for example by attaching it to an email to support. It contains no Health data, no body details and no GPS coordinates, and it keeps only events from the last 30 days, up to the most recent 20,000.

Run logs. In test versions of Kanvify (TestFlight), the Diagnostics screen (Settings › About › Diagnostics) can also share a technical log of a run, with timings, sound and GPS-signal statistics but no coordinates. It can also export a copy of a run’s track moved to a made-up place in the ocean. That copy shows no real place, but it keeps the shape and timing of your run. Both leave your phone only if you share them.

Crash reports. We don’t use a crash-reporting company. Your iPhone gives Kanvify its own crash and performance reports (Apple’s MetricKit). They stay on your phone, and you can share them from the app’s Diagnostics screen if you choose.

Reports from Apple. Separately, if you’ve turned on Share With App Developers (iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share crash reports and usage statistics with us under Apple’s terms. If you test Kanvify through TestFlight, the crash reports and feedback you send, including any screenshots, reach us through Apple. We also keep the name and email address we used to invite you until the test ends or you ask us to remove you.

If we ever add an outside crash-reporting or analytics service, we’ll update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

Sharing and exporting

Apart from your own backups and any copies you choose to save in Apple Health, your runs leave your iPhone only when you share or export them, as a GPX file or a share card.

  • A share card hides the start and the end of your route, so the places where you start and finish, such as your home, aren’t shown. The rest of the route is still visible, so think about who you share it with.
  • A GPX file you export for yourself has your whole route, with the time and elevation of each point. If you export it for sharing, its start and end are hidden too, but the rest of the route and its times are included.

Once you share something, the people and apps you share it with handle it under their own terms.

Deleting your data

In Kanvify, go to Settings › Privacy and data › Delete all my data to remove everything Kanvify stored on your iPhone. Deleting the app does the same.

This doesn’t touch copies saved in Apple Health, older backups of your phone or files you’ve already shared.

Who handles data for us

We share personal data only with these service providers. They handle it for us, only on our instructions and under terms that protect it at least as well as this policy:

  • Google (Google Workspace) hosts our email.
  • Cloudflare hosts this website and provides its analytics.

Apple handles App Store downloads, Apple Maps requests, TestFlight and the crash reports it shares with developers as an independent company, under its own privacy policy. We may also disclose data when the law requires it, or to a company that takes over Kanvify, which would have to keep the promises in this policy.

How long we keep data

  • On your iPhone: until you delete it in the app or delete the app.
  • Emails to us: as long as we need them, and no longer than 24 months after our last exchange.
  • Crash reports and statistics from Apple, and TestFlight feedback: in Apple’s developer tools for as long as Apple keeps them there. We don’t keep copies longer than we need to fix the problem. TestFlight invitations: until the test ends or you ask us to remove you.
  • This website: we see only totals in Cloudflare’s dashboard. Cloudflare keeps request data for hosting and security under its own policy.

No ads, no tracking, no selling

  • Kanvify shows no ads and doesn’t use advertising identifiers.
  • You won’t see an App Tracking Transparency prompt, because nothing in Kanvify tracks you.
  • There are no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the app.
  • We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as California law defines those terms.

When you email us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if your email shows it, your message and anything you choose to attach (such as the diagnostics log). We use them only to answer you and to fix and improve the app. Please don’t send us health details we don’t need to help you. If you do, we use them only to answer you.

We keep them only as long as we need them, and no longer than 24 months after our last exchange, unless the law requires us to keep them longer. Our email is hosted by Google (Google Workspace), which stores it for us under its data processing terms.

We’re based in the United States, so if you write to us from the EU, the UK or elsewhere, your email is processed in the US, by us and by Google. Google and Cloudflare (see “This website”) are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension, which the European Commission and the UK government recognize as giving adequate protection. Their data processing terms also include the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. To learn more about these safeguards, write to us.

This website, cookies and similar technologies

kanvify.com uses no cookies and no advertising trackers, and its fonts are served from the site itself. The site is hosted by Cloudflare. As our service provider, Cloudflare processes standard request data, such as your IP address, your browser’s user agent and the page you ask for, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Cloudflare also asks your browser to report it if a page fails to load (a standard called Network Error Logging). Your browser keeps that instruction for up to 7 days and sends Cloudflare a short technical error report only if loading fails.

To understand how the site is used, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. A small script on each page sends Cloudflare the page you’re viewing, the site you came from and measurements of how fast the page loaded. Cloudflare works out your country and type of device from the request, and says it discards your IP address at its nearest data center without storing it. The script doesn’t use cookies or local storage, doesn’t build a profile of you and doesn’t follow you to other sites. We only see totals, and Cloudflare processes this data only for us, as our service provider. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. If you’d rather not be counted, a content blocker that blocks static.cloudflareinsights.com stops the script without affecting the site.

If we ever add other tools to this website, such as advertising measurement, we’ll update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

  • The app’s features on your iPhone (measuring runs, your plan, reminders, Live Activities and the voice coach) are there to provide the app you chose to use (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Location, Motion & Fitness, Apple Health and notifications also need your permission in iOS, which you can withdraw at any time in iOS Settings.
  • Your body details and the workouts you save to Apple Health are health data. Kanvify uses them only because you choose to enter or save them, which is your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time by clearing them in Settings › Body or by turning off Save to Apple Health.
  • Emails to us are used to answer your request (Article 6(1)(b)). Using them to fix and improve Kanvify relies on our legitimate interest in supporting and improving it (Article 6(1)(f)).
  • Crash reports and statistics we get from Apple, and TestFlight feedback, rely on our legitimate interest in finding and fixing problems (Article 6(1)(f)).
  • Running this website (hosting and protection from abuse) and website analytics rely on our legitimate interest in running a secure site and understanding, in aggregate, how it’s used (Article 6(1)(f)).

You don’t have to give us any personal data: you can use Kanvify without ever emailing us. You can also say no to any permission. Without location, Kanvify can’t measure outdoor runs, and without Motion & Fitness it can’t count treadmill steps, but the rest of the app keeps working. We don’t make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.

Your rights

In the EU, the EEA and the UK, you have the right to access, correct and erase your personal data, to restrict how we use it and to data portability. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time; that doesn’t affect what we did before. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live, where you work or where you think the problem happened, such as Spain’s Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) or the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Your right to object. Where we rely on our legitimate interests (see “Legal bases”), you can object at any time, on grounds relating to your situation, by writing to us.

In the United States. Because of our size, we aren’t currently required to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or similar state privacy laws. We give everyone the same choices anyway: you can ask to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it and to delete it. We don’t sell personal information, we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we don’t use sensitive personal information to infer things about you, so there’s nothing to opt out of. We also honor Global Privacy Control signals as opt-out requests. We won’t treat you differently for making any of these requests.

Do Not Track. Neither the app nor this website tracks you across other companies’ apps or websites, and no third party collects personal information about your activity over time and across sites through them. So they work the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track signal.

Because your data lives on your iPhone, you can use many of these rights in the app itself: export your runs or delete everything from Settings › Privacy and data. For anything we hold, such as your emails, write to privacy@kanvify.com. We’ll answer within one month, or within 45 days if you’re in the United States. If we need more time, as the law allows, we’ll tell you why.

Children

Kanvify is meant for adults and teens who are starting to run. It’s not directed at children under 13 (under 14 in Spain), and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data. Because there are no accounts and data stays on the device, we don’t receive children’s data through the app. If you’re a parent and think your child has emailed us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Security

Your iPhone protects Kanvify’s data with your passcode and iOS data protection. This website is served only over HTTPS.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. We’ll point out meaningful changes here and, when they affect the app, in the app too, before they take effect. If a change would let us use data we already have in a materially different way, we’ll ask for your consent first.

Accounts and sync are planned for a later version of Kanvify. We’ll update this policy before the app collects anything new.
