Our privacy commitments

At Runn, we genuinely care about your privacy. We are ready to support you in your role as a data controller and committed to ensuring all personal data we hold and process is safe and secure. As part of this commitment we have undertaken steps to meet GDPR compliance, including:

  1. Not sharing personal data with third parties purely for analytics or advertising purposes.
  2. Automatically deleting any personal data that is no longer deemed required. 
  3. Allowing users and organizations to delete the personal data they control.
  4. Providing data subjects with access to their personal data, if requested.
  5. Building in “privacy by design” as we develop and enhance the Runn product and services.  
  6. Regularly reviewing our privacy statements, DPA, and internal documentation and processes. 
  7. Appointing a Privacy Officer (privacy@runn.io) to oversee privacy matters.
  8. Offering a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) memorializing our obligations as a data processor. 

Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

If you are doing business in the EU, our terms of service include the Runn Data Processing Agreement. Working with external legal counsel we regularly update this document to be in compliance with GDPR and other generally acceptable privacy laws. Should you require a signed version, please contact us at privacy@runn.io


Runn sub-processors

As outlined in our DPA, we may use third party service providers to assist us with data processing activities. Where we act as a data processor, these third parties are known as sub-processors. You will find a list of our sub-processors, along with the reason for processing and where the data is held below. From time to time, we may need to add or remove a sub-processor if we feel it is necessary. If you would like to receive email updates about new sub-processors, you can opt in to sub-processor updates here.
