Privacy policy

Last updated 4 November 2026

Selvtakt is a personal running app for iPhone and Mac. It is built to keep your data with you: there are no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no social feed. This policy explains what the app reads, what leaves your device, and how to delete it.

Who is responsible

Selvtakt is made in Norway. For any question about your data, write to privacy@selvtakt.no.

Data the app reads on your device

With your permission, Selvtakt reads from Apple Health: running workouts, routes, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and sleep. This is used only to show your runs and to calculate your training plan, form, goals and records. It is processed on your device. Health data is never used for advertising or sold, and it is never shared with anyone for their own purposes.

The coach ("Ask the coach") uses Apple's on-device language model. Your questions and the summary it is given stay on your device.

Data that leaves your device

What	When	Where it goes
E-mail address and password	When you create your account (needed to use the app)	Our database provider, Supabase, to let you sign in
Notes on runs, training plan, goals, gear, heart-rate zones and runs you deleted	While you are signed in, so they are the same on your devices	Supabase, in rows that only your account can read
Start point and route points	When you ask the route planner for loops or draw a route	BRouter (brouter.de), Apple Maps and Open-Meteo, to calculate routes and elevation. They are not linked to you or stored by us.

Your runs, heart rate and sleep from Apple Health are read on your phone and not uploaded. Runs you import from a Strava export are read and kept on the device too.

Keeping your account safe

Two-step verification (Settings ▸ Security): a code from an authenticator app is needed as well as your password. With it on, your data can only be read from a login made with the code.
An optional Face ID or passcode lock each time you come back to the app.
When you log out, nothing of your account stays on screen. If someone else logs in on the same device, the data kept there for you is wiped first.

What we don't do

No advertising, and no advertising or analytics SDKs.
No tracking across apps or websites.
No selling or renting of data.
No sharing of health data with third parties.

How long data is kept

Synced data is kept for as long as you have an account. When you delete your account, it is deleted from our database straight away. Backups held by our database provider are overwritten within their normal backup period.

Deleting your data

In the app: Settings ▸ Account ▸ Delete account. This deletes your account and everything synced with it.
To stop Selvtakt reading Apple Health: Settings ▸ Health ▸ Data Access & Devices ▸ Selvtakt on your iPhone.
Deleting the app removes everything stored on that device.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected or deleted, and object to how it is used. Write to privacy@selvtakt.no. You can also complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).

Children

Selvtakt is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
