Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

Route Runner ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of the businesses, individuals, and families that use our Service. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, business name, phone number, and password. We also collect billing information processed securely through Stripe.

Business data

To provide the Service, we store the data you enter, including route information, stop locations, child names and pickup records, team member profiles, absence records, run session logs, and messages sent through the platform.

Usage data

We may collect information about how you use the Service, including pages visited, features used, and actions taken. This helps us improve the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
  • Process payments and manage your subscription
  • Send transactional emails (account confirmation, billing receipts)
  • Respond to support requests submitted through our contact form
  • Improve and develop new features for the Service
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

3. Information Sharing

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers

We use trusted third-party services to operate Route Runner, including Supabase (database and authentication), Stripe (payment processing), and Resend (email delivery). These providers process data only on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Within your business

Data entered by your team is visible to other members of your account according to their role. Owners and admins have broader access; drivers see only their assigned routes; guardians see only their own children's information.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

4. Children's Privacy

Route Runner is a business tool used by transportation companies. While the Service stores records related to children (such as names and pickup history), it is not directed at children and children do not create accounts. All child records are entered and managed by authorized adults — business owners, admins, or guardians.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child's information has been entered into the Service inappropriately, please contact us.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your account, we will retain your data for 30 days to allow for reactivation, after which it will be permanently deleted. You may request earlier deletion by contacting us.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS. Authentication is handled by Supabase, which uses industry-standard security practices.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your login session. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so will prevent you from staying signed in to the Service.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice in the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

10. Contact

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us.
