Nothing is charged and nothing is for sale yet.How PaceMate handles your personal data. Last updated 3 September 2026.
PaceMate is operated by NEVER RUN ALONE LIMITED, a company registered in England and Wales. We are the data controller for the information described below.
Your first name, derived age, city, rough distance band, public profile text, approved profile photo, running preferences and profile-check badge. Full date of birth, exact coordinates, trusted contact details, report notes and moderation records are not public.
Email login, date of birth, profile answers, rough city, precise matching coordinates, photos, messages, matches, run plans, check-ins, completion events, trusted contact details, reports, blocks and privacy-minimised analytics.
To run the account, match compatible runners, protect users, moderate photos and reports, prevent abuse, keep basic product analytics and meet legal obligations.
Other users only see public profile and match/run information they need. Supabase and Netlify process data as hosting/auth/database providers. Admin reviewers can see moderation, report and verification data when needed.
If you choose current location, GPS is used privately for more accurate matching. If you choose a town, its central area is used instead. Other runners receive only a broad distance band and agreed public meeting points.
Photos stay private until approved. Replacing an approved photo sends it back to pending moderation.
You can request a short live video check or attend an official PaceMate event so an authorised reviewer can compare you with your profile photo. PaceMate records only the request, decision, reviewer and time. We do not ask you to send identity documents and do not store a recording or biometric template.
We process your account, profile and matching data to perform our contract with you. We rely on legitimate interests for safety, moderation, abuse prevention and basic product analytics. Where you give us optional information, such as a profile photo or a trusted contact, we rely on your consent and you can withdraw it at any time.
Account, profile, photo, location and matching data is deleted immediately when you use Delete account. Messages are normally kept for 12 months. Safety reports, blocks and moderation records may be kept for up to 3 years so we can act on repeat behaviour and meet legal obligations. Analytics events are kept for 24 months without your account identifier after deletion.
You can ask us for a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or ask for it in a portable format. Use Delete account in Settings, or email us. We respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Delete account immediately and permanently removes your login, profile, photos, location, matching preferences and trusted contact. This cannot be undone. Limited safety, moderation and legal records may be retained for the periods above.
Our hosting and database providers, Supabase and Netlify, process data on our behalf. Some processing may take place outside the UK under appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

The rules for using PaceMate. By creating an account you agree to these terms. Last updated 12 August 2026.
PaceMate is operated by NEVER RUN ALONE LIMITED, registered in England and Wales.
You must be at least 18 to use PaceMate. Date of birth is stored privately and only a derived age is shown.
Use your own account, accurate profile details and photos you have the right to use. Do not impersonate another person.
PaceMate helps people arrange runs, but it cannot guarantee that another runner is safe, punctual, honest or suitable. Meet in public, tell someone where you are going and leave if anything feels wrong.
Blocking, reporting, sharing a run with a trusted contact and checking in will never sit behind a paid plan. If we ever charge for anything, it will be matching features, not your safety.
PaceMate is new. Some review steps are handled manually and support is limited to email. Do not rely on PaceMate for emergencies or urgent safeguarding.
We can restrict, suspend or remove accounts that break these rules, create safety risk, abuse the reporting system, spam other runners or try to bypass moderation.
We provide PaceMate with reasonable care and skill, but we do not vet runners and we are not a party to any run you arrange. Nothing here limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.
Email support@getpacemate.app. We aim to reply within five working days.
We may update these terms as PaceMate develops. If a change materially affects you we will tell you in the app before it takes effect, and continuing to use PaceMate means you accept the updated terms.
You can delete your account at any time from Settings. We may close an account that breaks these rules. If we do, we will tell you why unless doing so would create a safety risk.
You keep ownership of your photos and profile text. You give us permission to display them to other runners as part of running the service, and that permission ends when you delete them or your account.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the UK you keep the protection of your local consumer law.
PaceMate is for arranging respectful social runs, not dating pressure, spam or risky meetups.
Friendly messages, practical run planning, public meet points, pace honesty, changing your mind and blocking without explanation.
Harassment, sexual pressure, hate, threats, doxxing, scams, spam, illegal content, stalking, repeated unwanted contact, fake profiles, unsafe route pressure or turning up at someone's home.
No explicit, stolen, misleading or non-person profile photos. Photos can be rejected or removed.
Reports should include useful context. False or abusive reports can also lead to account action.
Run Now is for near-term public runs only. Do not use it to pressure someone into a private location or a route they did not agree to.
PaceMate should reduce risk, not pretend risk disappears.
Keeps exact home location private, uses compatibility gates, supports blocking and reporting, stores safety reports for review, limits photos to approved images and keeps core safety tools free.
Meet in public, share run details with a trusted contact, check in, avoid isolated first routes, respect pace boundaries and leave if anything feels off.
Use Report from Safety Centre or chat. A beta admin must review reports, preserve serious safety records and remove illegal or dangerous content when aware of it.
PaceMate is not monitored as an emergency service. If someone may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.
Report from the Safety Centre or from any chat. For anything serious, email safety@getpacemate.app. We review reports and act on illegal or dangerous content as soon as we are aware of it.
Your login, profile, photos, location and matching data will be deleted immediately. This cannot be undone. Limited safety and legal records may be retained where required.
Your PaceMate account and photos have been deleted. There is one step left to remove Apple's connection.
On your iPhone, open Settings → your name → Sign in with Apple → PaceMate, then choose Delete and confirm.
