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 company registered in Delaware, 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 support@kanvify.com.

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.

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.

Location

Kanvify uses your location only during an outdoor run, including while the screen is locked, to measure your distance, pace and route.

  • iOS asks for your permission first.
  • Kanvify asks for precise location, because approximate location isn’t accurate enough to measure a run.
  • Your location is never used outside a run and 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 asks permission to start a workout session.
  • 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.
  • Health data is never used for advertising or analytics, and it’s never sold or shared with third parties.
  • 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 a map image of that area. Apple handles that request under its privacy policy. Kanvify doesn’t send your run anywhere. 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, 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 and no GPS tracks.

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 reach us through Apple.

If we ever add an outside crash-reporting or analytics service (and we won’t before accounts and sync arrive), we’ll update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

Sharing and exporting

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 your home address isn’t on the map.
  • A GPX file you export for yourself has your whole route. If you export it for sharing, its start and end are hidden too.

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.

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 and your message, plus anything you choose to attach (such as the diagnostics log). We use them only to answer you and to improve the app.

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 providers forward and store email for us.

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. Where the law requires it, we protect these transfers with appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

This website

kanvify.com uses no cookies, no analytics and no trackers, and its fonts are served from the site itself. The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data, such as your IP address and your browser’s user agent, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

  • Features on your iPhone run on the permissions you give in iOS, such as location, Motion & Fitness, Apple Health and notifications. You can withdraw them at any time in iOS Settings.
  • Emails to us are used to answer your request, and on the basis of our legitimate interest in supporting and improving Kanvify.

Your rights

In the EU, the EEA and the UK, you have the right to access, correct and erase your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, to data portability and to withdraw your consent at any time. You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority, such as Spain’s Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).

In California and other US states with privacy laws, including under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to delete it, to correct it and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We don’t sell or share personal information. We won’t treat you differently for using any of these rights.

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 support@kanvify.com. We’ll answer within the legal deadlines: one month under the GDPR and 45 days under the CCPA.

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.

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