Privacy Policy for Marathon Atlas
Last updated: November 11, 2026
Your races and countries stay on your device. If you let the app search Apple Health, your workouts are only read on your device and never sent anywhere. Only for in-app purchases does something leave your device: RevenueCat checks your purchase with a random ID, without health data. No account, no advertising, no tracking.
The app does not need an account, and we do not run any servers for it. The app contains no advertising, no tracking, and no analytics.
Your races (race, year, month, date, finish time, notes), your custom races (name, country, location on the map), your home country, and your country lists stay on your device. The app does not sync them via iCloud. They are included in your device backup according to your backup settings. "Delete All Runs" in the settings removes your races and custom races; deleting the app removes all data from your device.
Only when you tap "Search Apple Health" does the app ask for permission to read your workouts and workout routes. It reads your running workouts and, for those of about 21 km or more, uses their distance, duration, start time, time zone, and source (e.g., Apple Watch), and from the route only the starting point. The app uses this data only on your device to match workouts to races. It saves only what you add: the race, the date, the finish time, and an identifier of the workout so that it is not suggested again. The starting point of the route is not saved. The app writes nothing to Apple Health.
Health data is never sent to us or to third parties (including RevenueCat) and is never used for advertising or marketing. You can revoke access at any time in the Health app or in the iOS settings.
The app does not request access to your location. The map and the place search for custom races work with data built into the app (Natural Earth, GeoNames); your search queries do not leave your device.
The app connects to the internet only for in-app purchases and when you open the official website of a race. When the app starts, it loads the purchase options from RevenueCat and checks whether Marathon Atlas Pro is unlocked, using a random App User ID (see below). Race websites open in your browser; the privacy policy of the respective website operator applies.
Your passport card (an image with your map, race counts, and best time) leaves your device only if you share it yourself via the share sheet.
If you write to us from the app, your mail app opens with "Marathon Atlas" in the subject line. We only use your message and e-mail address to answer your request.
You get the app through the Apple App Store. Apple is responsible for download, payment, and updates; we have no access to that data. Apple's privacy policy applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
If you have turned on "Share with App Developers" in the iOS settings, Apple provides us with anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. They do not identify you.
The payment is handled by Apple. To unlock purchases on all your devices and restore them, the app uses the service RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives a random App User ID that is not linked to your name or Apple ID, information about your purchases (e.g., product, date, and store transaction), and technical device information (e.g., app version, operating system version, and store country). As with any internet connection, your IP address is transmitted for technical reasons.
Content you create in the app is never transmitted. The data is not used for advertising or tracking.
The provider is RevenueCat, Inc., 1032 E Brandon Blvd #3003, Brandon, FL 33511, USA. RevenueCat processes the data on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR). Because the data reaches the USA, the transfer is safeguarded by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
Whatever happens only on your device or in your private iCloud does not reach us; we do not process that data.
Checking and restoring your purchases via RevenueCat is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the purchase contract). That the app also checks the unlock status when you have not bought anything, and that your IP address is transmitted for technical reasons, is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is a reliable unlock on all your devices.
If you e-mail us, we process your address and message to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for questions about a purchase, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
What the app stores on your device stays there until you delete it in the app or remove the app. Data in your iCloud can be deleted in your device's iCloud settings.
RevenueCat keeps purchase data as long as it is needed to manage your purchases; on request, we have it deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply.
We delete e-mails to us once your request has been resolved, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)).
Since we do not keep accounts and the app does not identify you, we often cannot attribute data to a person (Art. 11 GDPR). Write to us anyway; we are happy to help.
You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the one responsible for us: the data protection authority of Lower Saxony (LfD Niedersachsen), Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany, https://www.lfd.niedersachsen.de
