Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Introduction

Running Rosary is operated by Kodefeld Studios LLC ("we," "our," or "us"), a Georgia limited liability company registered with the IRS as Kufeldt Family Management and doing business as Running Rosary. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as:

  • Workout Data: GPS location, distance, pace, duration, route information, and heart rate data
  • Health Data: Heart rate, calories burned, and other fitness metrics through HealthKit integration
  • Prayer Preferences: Custom playlists, prayer selections, and playback settings
  • Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version
  • Mobile Phone Number: If you join our text message program, the mobile phone number you submit
  • Consent Records: The date and time of your opt-in, your IP address, your browser user agent, and the exact consent wording shown to you at the time

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide workout tracking and prayer playback functionality
  • Save and display your workout history and statistics
  • Sync data between your iPhone and Apple Watch
  • Improve app performance and user experience
  • Send you important app updates and notifications (if enabled)

SMS Text Message Program

Kodefeld Studios LLC operates the Running Rosary text message program. If you opt in on our text message signup page, we use your mobile phone number to send the messages you consented to receive.

We collect two separate consents and record them independently:

  • Devotional messages — required to join. Up to 30 messages per month.
  • App news, events, and challenges — an optional marketing consent. Up to 6 messages per month. If you decline it, we record the decline and do not send you these messages.

Each consent record stores which of the two you granted, along with the exact wording shown to you for each. Msg & data rates may apply.

We send these messages through Twilio, our messaging platform provider, which processes your number solely to deliver the messages you asked for.

You can withdraw consent at any time: Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe. Reply HELP for help, or email support@kodefelds.com.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored locally on your device using Core Data. If you enable iCloud sync, your data may be stored in your personal iCloud account. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information.

HealthKit Integration

Running Rosary integrates with Apple HealthKit to:

  • Read heart rate data during workouts
  • Write workout data to Apple Health
  • Calculate calories burned

You have full control over HealthKit permissions and can revoke access at any time through your device settings.

Location Services

Running Rosary uses location services to:

  • Track your running route
  • Calculate distance and pace
  • Display your route on a map

Location data is only collected during active workouts and is stored locally on your device. We do not share your location data with third parties.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Your workout and prayer data remains private and under your control.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories of data described in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Sharing with subcontractors who perform services on our behalf — such as Twilio, which delivers our text messages — is permitted solely to provide the service you requested, and those providers may not use your information for their own marketing.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data stored in the app
  • Delete your workout history and prayer preferences
  • Disable location services and HealthKit integration
  • Opt-out of notifications

Data Retention and Deletion

Workout and prayer data lives on your device and is deleted when you delete it in the app or remove the app.

We retain SMS consent records for as long as you remain subscribed and for four years afterward, because federal telemarketing rules require us to be able to show that you consented. If you reply STOP, we stop messaging you immediately and retain only the record needed to prove the opt-in and opt-out occurred.

To request deletion of your phone number and consent record, email support@kodefelds.com from the address you used to contact us, or include the mobile number in question. We will confirm once it is removed.

Children's Privacy

Running Rosary is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.
