Plain English summary: Recura collects data needed to deliver AI gait analysis and ranked 1v1 duels. We share anonymised gait movement data only — never your name, height, weight, or any identifying details — with academic researchers. We never sell your data. You can delete your account anytime.
Recura ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Recura mobile application and website (the "Service").
Recura is operated as a sole trader business based in the United Kingdom. This policy complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using Recura you agree to the practices described here.
Recura is a mobile application providing two core services:
Recura does not provide personalised coaching, medical advice, physiotherapy, or any health treatment service.
When you create an account, we collect your email address, a username of your choice, and a password (encrypted using industry-standard hashing — never stored in plain text).
You may optionally provide your name and gender, age, height, and weight, and your running experience level. This helps contextualise your gait analysis results. This is never shared with third parties in identifiable form, including researchers — see Section 5.
We use your information strictly to:
We share anonymised gait movement data with academic researchers. This section explains exactly what is and is not shared, and how to opt out.
We work with academic and sports science researchers to advance understanding of human running biomechanics. We may share the following, all of which is fully stripped of personal identifiers before transfer:
We will never share the following with researchers or any third party in identifiable form: your name, email address, or username; your height, weight, age, or gender; any information that could identify you as an individual; your account credentials or contact details.
Before any data — including video recordings — is shared with a research partner, all personal identifiers are removed. Videos are anonymised so that no individual can be identified from them. Research partners are contractually prohibited from attempting to re-identify any individual from the data we provide.
You will be asked for consent to research data sharing during onboarding. You can withdraw consent at any time via Profile → Settings → Research Data Sharing. Withdrawing consent will not affect your access to any Recura features.
We only work with partners affiliated with recognised academic or sports science institutions who have obtained appropriate ethical approval, agree in writing to our data-sharing terms including prohibition on re-identification, and use data solely for the stated research purpose.
We use Firebase Authentication to securely manage accounts. Security measures include password hashing using industry-standard cryptographic methods, email verification for new accounts, encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure cloud storage via Firebase and Google Cloud Platform, and access controls limiting which personnel can access personal data.
Data is stored in secure data centres operated by Google Cloud Platform, primarily in the EU and US, subject to appropriate transfer safeguards under UK GDPR. We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 30 days, except where legally required to retain it.
We do not sell your personal data. We share data with the following service providers only as necessary to operate the Service:
By participating in ranked duels, your username and ranking position are visible on public leaderboards within the app. Your real name, email, and personal profile details are never displayed publicly. Choose a username that does not identify you if you wish to remain private.
Contact us at Mozza@recura.pro to exercise any right. We respond within 30 days. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
If you are a resident of the United States, the following applies in addition to the rights described above. Recura does not sell or share your personal information for money or for cross-context behavioural advertising.
California (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect and why, to access and delete it, to correct it, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because we do not sell or share personal information, no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" action is needed — but you may still contact us to exercise any right.
Other US states (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon and others with comprehensive privacy laws): you have comparable rights to access, delete, correct, and opt out of targeted advertising or any sale. We honour these rights for all US users regardless of state.
Consumer health data: Some US states (for example Washington's My Health My Data Act and Nevada) regulate "consumer health data." Your gait and movement data is collected only to provide the analysis you request, with your consent, is never sold, and is shared with researchers only in anonymised form as described in Section 5.
To exercise any US privacy right, email Mozza@recura.pro. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe your state's law requires (typically 45 days).
Recura is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us data, contact us at Mozza@recura.pro and we will delete it promptly. Users aged 13–17 should have a parent or guardian review this policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or email before they take effect. Continued use of Recura after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
