The Korean version of these terms governs. This page is a courtesy translation, and the Korean text prevails wherever the two differ.

2. What the service does
Run With Me Seoul uses your location to provide the services below. You can agree to each one separately, and withhold agreement from any of them.
- Recording runs: records and stores your route, distance, pace, splits, elevation and time during a run. While a run is recording, location is collected even when the app is in the background.
- Running conditions: shows a running score based on the weather and air quality where you are.
- Routes near you: shows routes around you, and lets you draw and save your own.
- Route leaderboards: works out which route your run matches so it can show times for that route.
We do not provide your location data to third parties.No third-party provision means no notification duty arises under Article 19(3) of the Act.
3. Pricing
This location-based service is free. Should paid features be introduced, these terms will be amended, the price and conditions announced in the app, and your agreement taken again beforehand. Mobile data charges for using the service are yours, under your carrier's own terms.
4. Purpose and retention
| Data | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Route recorded during a run | Storing and showing your runs | Until you delete the run or your account |
| Your position while browsing | Running score and routes near you | Not stored on our servers (cached on your device only) |
| Routes you save | Storing and showing your routes | Until you delete the route or your account |
| Access records (Section 6) — not location data | The record Article 16(2) requires us to keep | Six months, including after account deletion |
Your position while browsing is not stored on our servers. Coordinates are rounded to about 1km on your device before they are sent, rounded again to about a 5km grid on the server, and used only to answer the request.
So that the screen and the widget still work offline, the rounded coordinate and the last result are cached on your device. That cache never leaves the device and goes when you delete the app.
Where you request account deletion, we destroy your location data within 30 days. We also destroy it without delay when:
- the business suspends or closes, in whole or in part;
- the purpose of collecting, using or providing it has been met;
- you withdraw your agreement, in whole or in part.
One thing outlives (2), and the law requires it to: the access record described in Section 6. Article 2(4) and 2(5) of the Act both define that record as excluding the location itself, so it is not location data and this Section does not reach it. Where the purpose has simply been met, Article 23(1) carves that record out of what must be destroyed, and Article 16(2) requires it to be kept for the six months set out in Section 6. Where you delete your account we sever the link to you rather than destroying the record early.
(3) is different. Where you withdraw your agreement, Article 24(4) puts the access record inside what must be destroyed, without delay, alongside the location data itself. Six months is how long it lasts in ordinary use, not a floor we hold it behind when you withdraw. Section 5 sets out what a full and a partial withdrawal each destroy.
(1) splits. Where we suspend the service, Article 11(1) reaches your location data only and the access record is kept. Where we close it, Article 11(2) requires the records of how your location was used and shared to be destroyed at the same time, and the six months above does not hold them open: that period is a floor for as long as the business runs, not a reason to keep records of a service that has ended.
5. Your rights
- Withdrawing agreement: turn any service off underMe → Preferences → Location in the app. You can withdraw all or part of it, and turning one off leaves the others working. Withdrawing stops collection for that service immediately and destroys what Article 24(4) requires.
Removing the location permission in your device settings isnot a withdrawal. It stops your device handing us your location, which stops collection just as effectively, but it is not an act under Article 24(1) and so it does not trigger the destruction in Article 24(4): your agreement stands and what we already hold is kept. To have that data destroyed, withdraw here in the app. - Temporary suspension: in the app, underMe → Preferences → Location, switching a service off offers Pause collecting. Choosing it stops collecting your location for that service and leaves everything else standing: your consent remains, nothing is destroyed, and the access records inSection 6 are kept. You can switch it back on at any time, and we will not ask for your consent again. This is the technical means Article 24(2) requires, and it is deliberately separate from withdrawing, which carries destruction under Article 24(4).
Ending a run also stops that run's collection immediately, as does withdrawing.
The Pause button on the run screen is a different control: it pauses your run, not the collection, and location keeps being recorded until you finish. To stop collecting, finish the run, or use Pause collecting or withdraw in Preferences. - Viewing and correcting: your saved runs and routes are visible in the app. You may also ask to view or be told the contents of your location access records, and to have any errors in them corrected. Ask at the contact in section 1 or the manager in section 7. We will not refuse without good reason.
This right applies while your account exists. Deleting your account severs the link between you and the access records, so the rows that remain for the rest of their six months can no longer be traced back to you and cannot be produced on request. If you want to see them, ask before you delete the account. - Deletion: delete individual runs and routes in the app. To delete your whole account useMe → Delete account or theaccount deletion page.
This covers your location data. It does not normally reach the access records in Section 6, which Article 16(2) requires us to keep for six months and which hold no location. Outside a withdrawal we cannot delete those early, for you or for ourselves; what deletion does do is sever the link between them and you.
Withdrawing consent is different. Article 24(4) requires us to destroy the access records as well. Withdraw one service and we destroy that service's location data together with the records of how it was used and shared; Article 24(4) limits a partial withdrawal to those, so the records ofcollection are kept for the rest of the period inSection 6. Where no service you consented to is left, that is a full withdrawal and the records of collection are destroyed too. A service you have only paused still holds your consent, so while one remains, a withdrawal is a partial one.
This service is for people aged 14 and over. We do not allow accounts for under-14s. We also do not serve the groups covered by Article 26 of the Act (children aged 8 and under, adults under guardianship, and registered persons with a severe intellectual disability), and we hold no location data consented to by a guardian.
6. Location access records
Article 16(2) of the Act requires us to automatically record and preserve data confirming the collection, use and provision of your location. We keep those records for six months, the minimum set by Article 6(5) of the Standards for Administrative and Technical Protection of Location Information.
These records cover who requested collection, when and by what method, and who received the data, how it was obtained, and when and how it was used or provided. They do not contain the location itself: Article 2(4) and 2(5) of the Act each define these records as excluding it. Because we provide nothing to third parties, the "recipient" field never applies.
7. Location information manager
