Your activity belongs to you.

Ruvem Motion is designed to record walking, running and cycling locally. Your routes and activity history stay on your iPhone.

At a glance

Ruvem Motion does not operate a user account system or a server that receives your activity database. We do not sell personal information, use advertising identifiers, or track you across apps and websites.

Recording works without an internet connection. A missing connection may affect map imagery, but it does not prevent an activity already in progress from being saved on your device.

Information the app handles

When you explicitly start an activity, Ruvem Motion may handle:

  • location points, timestamps, route segments, and location accuracy;
  • activity type, duration, distance, pace, speed, elevation, and related measurements;
  • step data for walking and running and barometer readings used for elevation during cycling; and
  • optional titles, notes, and local app preferences.

This information is used only to provide the live activity view, completed activity details, history, statistics, recovery, and sharing features.

Location and motion permissions

Location access is used only for activities you choose to record. Ruvem Motion does not create new route records when you are not recording an activity. Background location lets an activity you started continue while your screen is locked or while you use another app.

Motion access is used to count steps during walking and running and to measure elevation gain with the barometer during cycling. You can change these permissions at any time in your iPhone's Settings.

Apple Health

Saving completed activities to Apple Health is optional and off by default until you enable the setting and grant permission. If enabled, Ruvem Motion sends the completed workout information needed for that export to HealthKit on your device. Ruvem does not receive a copy of your Health data.

You can manage Health access in the Health app or your iPhone's Settings. Removing access stops future exports; data already stored in Apple Health is managed through Apple's Health app.

Where your data stays

Your completed activity records are stored locally in Ruvem Motion's app storage on your device. Ruvem Motion does not automatically upload routes, notes, or statistics to a Ruvem service.

Map display is provided through Apple's map services. Apple may process information needed to provide map imagery under its own privacy practices. This does not give Ruvem Motion access to an Apple-held account or map-service profile, and we do not send your stored activity database to a Ruvem server.

Sharing

Ruvem Motion can turn a finished activity into an image you may share. Nothing is shared automatically. You choose the image and destination through your device's standard sharing sheet.

Ruvem Motion does not upload the image or receive a copy. Saving to your photo library asks for a separate iOS permission only when you choose that action.

Retention and deletion

Your activity records remain on your device until you delete them. You can delete individual activities, or choose Delete all Ruvem Motion data in Settings. Deleting Ruvem Motion data does not affect Ruvem Drive or TrackerLab data on your device.

Because we do not receive a copy of your activity database, we cannot retrieve or delete it for you remotely. Records exported to Apple Health must be managed separately in the Health app.

Changes to this policy

If Ruvem Motion's data practices change, we will update this page and revise the date above. Material changes will be described here before they take effect.
