PRIVACY POLICY
RunTempo
Last updated: October 24, 2026
1. Who we are
Flowbit Labs provides RunTempo, a cadence metronome for walking and running. This policy explains local App data, advertising and purchase-related processing, and information you send when contacting us.
Privacy contact: flowbitlabs@gmail.com.
2. Local App data
The App stores settings and playback/session information in local App storage on your device. This includes target cadence (SPM), cadence adjustment settings, sound and music choices, volume, language and display preferences, playback state, session dates and durations, and selected cadence changes during a session.
We use this information to remember preferences, support playback and recovery, and display daily, weekly, and monthly history. These are records of App use and selected targets, not sensor measurements of your actual steps or health.
The App does not send these local session records or preferences to a server operated by Flowbit Labs and does not provide developer-operated cloud synchronization. Android device backup or restore can include App data depending on your operating system and device/account settings.
3. Data the App does not request
No separate RunTempo account is required. Purchasing and restoring Pro use your Google Play account. The App does not record microphone audio, use the camera, request precise GPS location, read contacts, or access Health Connect data. Beat sounds and background tracks are bundled playback content.
This does not mean that no data leaves your device: advertising and Google Play services process the information described below.
4. Advertising: Google AdMob
The App uses Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Google processes advertising-related information to deliver and measure ads, provide service analytics and diagnostics, and prevent fraud and abuse.
The SDK processes device IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), device identifiers such as advertising ID and app set ID, App/ad interaction information such as launches, taps and views, and technical diagnostics such as performance and error information. Identifier availability and ad personalization depend on device settings, applicable consent requirements, and the ad request configuration.
Flowbit Labs does not intentionally provide saved session history or selected cadence records to AdMob. Google manages its own retention and processing practices. See Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and advertising information at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
You can manage advertising ID and available ad privacy controls in Android settings. Where legally required, consent and available privacy choices must be presented before relevant advertising processing. This policy does not replace those choices. While Pro access is active, the App disables in-app ads. This does not delete advertising information previously processed by Google.
5. Google Play Billing, other services, and analytics
The App uses Google Play-related update and review functions. Google processes interactions with those services under its own policies. RunTempo Pro is a non-consumable one-time purchase through Google Play Billing that removes in-app ads and unlocks all included beat sounds and background music. There is no recurring Pro subscription.
Google handles payment processing and Google Play transaction records under its own policies. The App receives purchase information from Google Play, including the product identifier, purchase status, purchase token or receipt information, and acknowledgement status. It uses this information to complete purchases, check current ownership, restore eligible purchases, and manage Pro access. The App does not receive your full payment-card number or payment credentials.
The App stores a local Pro entitlement cache, including whether Pro is enabled, ownership-check and confirmation times, and whether purchase completion is pending. Purchase tokens are processed in memory for purchase handling; the current App does not send receipts or tokens to a Flowbit Labs purchase-validation server. Restoring purchases checks the current Google Play account's ownership and does not upload or restore local session history. Google-held purchase records and developer purchase-support records are distinct from this local cache.
The current App does not integrate a separate developer analytics or cloud crash-reporting service such as Firebase Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics. AdMob nevertheless processes the advertising analytics and diagnostic information described above.
External links open third-party services, whose policies apply when you visit them.
6. Support messages
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond, troubleshoot, and handle privacy requests. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information. Support email is processed through our email provider, Google.
We retain support correspondence only as needed to address the request, maintain necessary related records, or comply with applicable legal obligations. You can request deletion by email, subject to those obligations.
7. Permissions
Notification permission is used for playback notifications and controls. Foreground media-service and wake-lock capabilities support ongoing playback. Internet and network-state access support ads and Google Play-related functions. You can manage notification permission in Android settings. The App does not need microphone, camera, or precise-location permission for its metronome features.
8. Data Storage and Retention
Local preferences and playback state remain until reset or removed by the App or device. Saved session history is limited to 500 recent records and a storage-size limit; older records can be removed automatically when these limits are reached.
We do not hold a developer-server copy of your local session history. The local Pro cache remains until updated or removed with App storage. Google retains advertising, billing, and transaction data under its policies and applicable legal requirements. Purchase-related correspondence sent to us is retained as described in section 6. These providers can process information on servers outside your country under their applicable privacy and transfer arrangements.
9. Deletion and your choices
To delete local settings and history, use Android Settings > Apps > RunTempo > Storage > Clear storage. This resets the App and removes its local Pro entitlement cache. Clearing storage or uninstalling does not refund or cancel a purchase, or erase Google-held transaction records. Use Restore purchases with the purchasing Google Play account to recover an eligible Pro entitlement. Uninstalling normally removes its local data. Manage or remove device backups separately through your device/account backup settings because a backup can restore data later.
There is no RunTempo account to delete. We cannot remotely erase data stored only on your device. For support correspondence or questions about access, correction, deletion, or other rights available under applicable law, contact flowbitlabs@gmail.com. Manage Google-held advertising and account data through Google's privacy and device controls, and purchase history and refund requests through Google Play.
10. Sharing and Security
We do not sell local session records or intentionally share them with advertisers. Advertising-related collection and sharing by Google are described above. We disclose support information only when needed to handle your request through service providers or when required by law.
Local data uses Android's App storage protections. Google states that Mobile Ads SDK data is encrypted in transit using TLS. No storage or transmission method provides absolute security.
11. Children
RunTempo is a general-purpose walking and running tool and is not specifically designed for children. We do not knowingly request personal information from children. A parent or guardian concerned about information a child has provided can contact us. Applicable age and consent requirements still apply to advertising services.
12. Changes to this policy
We will update this page when App data practices change and revise the Last updated date. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate. Please review this policy when using an updated version.
