MarathonReady is a transformation-focused marathon training companion. We treat the information you share with care. This page explains, in plain language, what we collect, why, and how you stay in control.
The short version
- We only collect what's needed to coach you through your training.
- You decide what to share — most fields are optional.
- We don't sell your personal data. Ever.
- MarathonReady is a training companion, not a medical platform.
Account information
When you create an account we store the basics needed to keep your journey safe and recoverable — typically an email address and a secure authentication record. Sensitive credentials are never stored in plain form.
Onboarding & training data
During onboarding you may share your running experience, weekly availability, target race and current fitness level. This shapes your plan and coaching tone. You can update or clear this at any time from your settings.
Body measurements & fitness inputs
Optional inputs such as weight, resting heart rate or recent run times help personalise training load and recovery guidance. These are user-provided, never medical, and you can leave them blank.
GPS & location during runs
Location is used only while you're tracking a run, so we can show distance, pace and your route. We don't track your location in the background. GPS accuracy varies with signal and device, and live tracking can use more battery than normal usage.
Analytics & local storage
We use privacy-conscious, aggregate analytics to understand which features help people finish their journey. Some preferences (like your selected plan tier or completed milestones) are stored locally on your device using your browser's storage so the app feels personal between visits.
Beta feedback
If you submit feedback during the public beta, we keep it to improve the product. It is tied to your account only when needed to follow up, and you can ask for it to be removed at any time.
Future integrations
We're preparing optional connections to services like Apple Health, Garmin and Strava. When these are available you'll explicitly choose what to import or sync. Nothing connects without your consent.
Communications
We use your email for important account updates and — only if you opt in — gentle encouragement, weekly summaries or product news. You can unsubscribe from non-essential messages at any time.
Data retention
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can request export or deletion of your information at any time by contacting us. We honour deletion requests promptly, subject to any legal record-keeping obligations.
What we will never do
- Sell your personal data to advertisers or third parties.
- Share your training data with anyone without your consent.
- Use your runs for purposes you haven't agreed to.
A note on health
MarathonReady is a supportive training companion — not a medical platform. Health and fitness information you provide is treated with care, but our coaching is educational and not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
