PRIVACY POLICY

1. INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy explains how FuelFox collects, uses, stores, and shares your data when you use our website and services (the "Service").

In brief: Your data currently stays on your device. We do not sell your information. When we add cloud sync in the future, you will remain in control.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use FuelFox, you may provide:

• Profile Information: Name, age, weight, running experience, and athletic data
• Race Plans: Goal times, fueling preferences, race selections, and pacing strategies
• Race Lists: Races you have completed or want to run
• Reviews: Race reviews, ratings, and submitted race information
• Preferences: Unit preferences, dietary restrictions, and settings

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

We may automatically collect usage data (pages visited, features used), device information (browser type, operating system), approximate location (for proximity-based search), and cookies/local storage data to maintain your session and preferences.

2.3 Third-Party Data

We collect publicly available race information from official race websites, weather data from meteorological services, and elevation data from public geographic databases. This data is not personal to you.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your information to:

• Provide the Service: Generate personalized race plans, pacing strategies, and fueling recommendations
• Improve the Service: Analyze usage patterns to enhance features and user experience
• Display Your Content: Show your reviews and ratings to other users (with attribution)
• Communicate: Respond to your inquiries and provide updates about the Service
• Ensure Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or technical issues

4. HOW WE STORE YOUR DATA

4.1 Current Storage (Local Only)

Your personal data is currently stored locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device. We do not have access to your race plans, profiles, or lists. If you clear your browser data or use a different device, your data will not be available. You are responsible for backing up your data using export features.

4.2 Future Storage (Cloud Sync)

We may introduce optional cloud sync in the future, allowing you to store data in our cloud database and access it from multiple devices. Cloud sync will be optional, and local-only storage will remain available. We will update this Privacy Policy before launching cloud sync features.

5. HOW WE SHARE YOUR DATA

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data only in these limited circumstances:

• Public Content: Race reviews and ratings you submit are displayed publicly on the Service
• Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government request
• Safety & Security: To protect the rights, property, or safety of FuelFox, our users, or the public
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with advance notice to you)

6. COOKIES & TRACKING

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, and preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling some cookies may affect Service functionality.

7. YOUR RIGHTS

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access & Edit: View and update your data directly within the Service
• Delete: Clear your browser localStorage or delete your account (when cloud sync is available)
• Export: Export your data as images, pace bands, or calendar files

8. DATA SECURITY

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Since your data is currently stored locally in your browser, you are responsible for securing your device.

9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can delete it.

10. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Service uses third-party services for hosting, weather data, and analytics. These services have their own privacy policies.

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be posted prominently on the Service with the updated date at the top of this page.
