You can manage and change your privacy preferences at any time via the privacy settings within the app.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases
RUN A LOTT processes personal data only where this is permitted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Depending on the purpose of the processing, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases.
3.1 Performance of a Contract
We process certain personal data where this is necessary to perform our agreement with you and to provide the Services. This includes, among others:
- creating and managing user accounts;
- providing training plans and tracking training activities;
- displaying progress and performance insights;
- managing subscriptions and providing access to paid features;
- communicating with you about the Services.
- ensuring the security, stability, and availability of the Services;
- preventing misuse, fraud, and technical abuse of the app.
Without this processing, we would not be able to deliver the core functionality of the app.
3.2 Consent
For certain processing activities, we rely on your consent. This applies in particular to:
- analytics and usage analysis that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the Services;
- marketing and advertising purposes, including measuring the effectiveness of campaigns and showing more relevant advertisements.
Where consent is required, we will ask for it explicitly. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the privacy settings in the app. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
3.3 Compliance with Legal Obligations
We may process personal data where this is necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, such as accounting, tax, or regulatory requirements.
4. Advertising, Analytics and Conversion Measurement
RUN A LOTT may process certain personal data to analyse how the Services are used and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These processing activities are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the Services and are therefore only carried out where permitted and, where required, with your consent.
4.1 Analytics and App Stability (Firebase)
To gain insight into how the Services are used and to improve the performance, stability, and reliability of the app, RUN A LOTT uses Firebase services provided by Google LLC, including Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics.
Firebase Analytics is used to collect aggregated information about how users interact with the app, such as feature usage, in-app interactions, and general usage patterns. These insights help us improve the functionality, usability, and content of the Services. Processing via Firebase Analytics is carried out only if you have provided your consent through the privacy settings in the app.
Firebase Crashlytics is used to detect, analyse, and resolve app crashes and other technical issues. Crashlytics collects technical and diagnostic information, such as crash logs, device information, operating system versions, and the state of the app at the time of a crash. This data is used solely to improve the stability, security, and performance of the Services and is not used for advertising or marketing purposes.
The processing of data via Firebase services is carried out in accordance with Google’s applicable data protection terms. Where personal data is processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA), appropriate safeguards are applied, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
4.2 Advertising and Campaign Measurement (Meta and Google)
Where you have provided your consent, RUN A LOTT may use advertising and campaign measurement tools to understand how users find the Services and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
For these purposes, RUN A LOTT works with advertising partners such as Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook and Instagram) and Google (including Google Ads). This may involve processing information such as:
- whether you interacted with an advertisement;
- whether you installed the app or performed certain actions after viewing an advertisement;
- technical identifiers used to measure campaign performance, where permitted.
Advertising-related processing is only carried out where you have explicitly provided your consent via the privacy settings in the app and, where applicable, via your device or operating system settings.Depending on the specific service, Meta and Google may act as independent controllers or as processors acting on our behalf. Their processing of personal data is governed by their own privacy policies and applicable data protection terms.

RUN A LOTT has entered into a data processing agreement with Hetzner, ensuring that appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place to protect personal data in accordance with the GDPR.
5.2 Advertising and Analytics Partners
Where you have provided your consent, RUN A LOTT may share certain data with advertising and analytics partners for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Depending on the nature of the service, such partners may act as:
- processors acting on our behalf; or
- independent controllers determining their own processing purposes.
Further information about advertising and analytics processing, including consent and App Tracking Transparency requirements, is described in Chapter 4 of this Privacy Policy.
5.3 Legal Obligations and Corporate Transactions
RUN A LOTT may disclose personal data where required to do so by law, regulation, or a binding request from a competent authority. In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred to a third party involved in such a transaction. In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place and that users are informed where required by law.
