Nothing leaves your phone.
Runtile has no account, no server, no ads and no analytics. Every number is worked out on your iPhone from data already in Apple Health, and Runtile never changes your Health data.
Why it matters for a health app
Your runs say where you were, when, and how hard your heart was working. That is not marketing data. Runtile was built so that question never comes up: there is no account to create, no server to send anything to, and no analytics library watching what you tap.
What that means in practice
- No sign up. Open the app, grant Health access, see your runs.
- Almost no network. Runtile has no server to talk to. Two things use Apple Maps, and nothing else goes out. To show a place name like "Eixample, Barcelona" on a run, the points where that run started and finished are sent to Apple Maps, once, when you open the run. And if you switch a route to Map or Satellite in full screen, Apple Maps loads the map of that area, the way any map app does. The route itself is drawn on your iPhone and never sent, and Line, the default view, loads nothing.
- Read only. Runtile reads Health and never writes to it. The write entitlement exists only in developer builds, to seed test data on the simulator.
- Local storage. Shoes, goals and settings are stored on your iPhone and included in your normal iCloud device backup. A Strava archive you import is read once and not kept.
- Local notifications. The shoe prompt and the retirement warning are scheduled on the device. There is no push server.
- Purchases through Apple. Runtile only sees an anonymous entitlement, never your payment details.
- Delete all data in Settings wipes everything Runtile stored, and says out loud that Health is untouched.
The privacy label
On the App Store, Runtile's privacy label says Data Not Collected. Nothing you do in the app is collected by us, because there is nowhere for it to go.

Questions
What exactly does Runtile read from Health?
Running workouts, walking and running distance samples that belong to those workouts, heart rate, step count for cadence, running power, speed, stride length, vertical oscillation, ground contact time and workout routes. Reading only.
Can I revoke access?
Any time. Health app, Sharing, Apps, Runtile. Runtile then shows a calm explainer with a button back to that screen, no zeros pretending to be data.
What happens if I delete the app?
Everything Runtile stored goes with it: shoes, goals, the cache. Your Health data is untouched because Runtile never wrote to it.
