Terms & Privacy Policy

Last updated October 2026. Questions about anything below: support@anydayrun.in

Terms of Service & Event Rules

By registering for an AnyDayRun event, you agree to run within the stated event window and abide by the distance, route, and timing rules established for your chosen challenge category.

Automated Data Verification & Anti-Cheat

To maintain sportsmanship and fair competition, all submitted activities undergo automated data checks (including distance thresholds, net elevation changes, cadence patterns, pace ceilings, and pause-time ratios). Any activity that fails these checks or exhibits indicators of motorized assistance, cycling, GPS spoofing, or intentional route manipulation will be excluded from official scoring and rankings at our sole discretion.

Public Profiles & Community Discovery

AnyDayRun is a public, community-oriented platform. By registering and participating, you agree that your official results, public athlete profile, and qualifying race metrics will be visible to other participants, featured on public leaderboards, included in peer head-to-head comparisons, and rendered on shareable finisher badges.

Participant Responsibility & Health Safety Waiver

Running, jogging, and endurance walking carry inherent physical risks, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, cardiac distress, musculoskeletal injury, and traffic-related hazards on public roads. You acknowledge that AnyDayRun does not provide medical advice or fitness supervision. By registering, you confirm that you are physically fit, medically cleared by a qualified healthcare professional to undertake your chosen distance, and participating voluntarily at your own risk. AnyDayRun, its founders, and operators assume no liability for personal injury, illness, complications, or medical emergencies arising during your self-chosen route or training.

Timing Accuracy, Rankings & Technical Disclaimers

Leaderboards, pace calculations, age-graded percentiles, and finisher rankings are computed on a best-effort basis from data provided by third-party services (including Strava, mobile GPS chips, and fitness wearables). Live leaderboards are provisional and subject to ongoing audit throughout the challenge window. AnyDayRun reserves the right to correct calculations, adjust ranks, resolve software bugs, recalculate standings, or exclude corrupt GPS data at its sole discretion without creating any liability or entitlement to damages.

Dispute Resolution & Audit Finality

Invalidation of an activity, recalculation of a finish time, or adjustment of a podium position represents a technical decision to protect event integrity and does not imply personal misconduct. Decisions made by our verification engine and race administrators are final. If you believe your activity was flagged or calculated in error due to a technical bug, you may contact support@anydayrun.in with your BIB and Strava link for administrative review.

Privacy Policy

AnyDayRun collects and processes only the personal data necessary to operate our monthly virtual events, ensure athlete safety, maintain fair leaderboards, and celebrate your milestones.

1. Data We Collect & Why We Collect It

Account Details: Name, email address, gender, date of birth, city, and personal phone number.

• Age & Gender: Used strictly to calculate your official World Masters Athletics (WMA) Age-Graded Percentage score. Your exact date of birth is kept strictly private and is never shown publicly.
• Email & Phone: Used for race registration confirmations, critical event notices, and verification alerts. We do not sell, rent, or lease your contact information to external advertisers or marketers.

Safety & Emergency Details: Blood group, emergency contact name, and emergency phone number.

• Purpose: Retained strictly for medical preparedness, critical safety response, and event coordination.
• Third-Party Consent: By providing emergency contact information, you confirm that you have informed that person and obtained their explicit consent to share their name and phone number with AnyDayRun for emergency use.

Strava Activity Data & Permissions: When connecting your Strava account, AnyDayRun requests permissions to read your activity data (read, activity:read_all) and, if opted in, write permissions (activity:write).

• Read Access: Used strictly to ingest and verify qualifying activities during registered challenge windows (distance, moving time, elapsed time, elevation, cadence, and polyline).
• Optional Activity Renaming (Write Access): We offer an optional feature that updates your qualifying Strava activity title with an inspiring or thoughtful quote upon completion. This feature is strictly optional — you can enable or disable it at any time in your dashboard. When enabled, AnyDayRun sets the activity title to your quote and the activity description to a fixed, AnyDayRun-configured promotional line (replacing any existing description on that activity); we will never alter your GPS route data, splits, or delete any activity.

2. Public vs. Private Data Visibility

What is Publicly Visible:

• Your display name and profile avatar.
• City and country.
• Qualifying activity stats (official elapsed time, average pace, distance, elevation gain).
• Calculated WMA age-graded performance score.
• Past challenge finisher badges, public athlete profile (/profile/<bib>), and side-by-side comparison pages.
• Automated 1:1 and 9:16 social finisher and referral preview cards.

What Remains Strictly Confidential & Private:

• Email address and personal phone number.
• Blood group and emergency contact details.
• Exact date of birth (only your derived age category or age-graded score is shown).
• Full postal/shipping address (if collected for physical merchandise).
• Non-event Strava workouts and activities outside challenge criteria.
• Strava privacy perimeter zones (hidden start and end locations are preserved).

3. Social Sharing & Media Generation

AnyDayRun enables runners to generate automated social media finisher badges and referral cards for platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram. By participating, you grant AnyDayRun permission to display your race statistics, display name, and avatar on these public preview assets.

4. Disconnecting Strava & Right to Be Forgotten (Data Deletion)

• Disconnecting Strava: You can revoke AnyDayRun's access to your Strava profile at any time directly through your Strava Application Settings or via your AnyDayRun user dashboard. Disconnecting stops future activity polling and title updates while leaving verified past challenge results intact.
• Complete Account & Data Erasure: If you want all your personal data, emergency details, activity history, and historical leaderboard records permanently erased, email support@anydayrun.in from your registered email address. We will permanently delete your account and associated database records within 30 days.
