How TruRace Uses Activity Data

  • Creating or updating a TruRace competition seed
  • Verifying a Prize Builder qualifying run
  • Resolving duplicate, missing, edited, or deleted activities
  • Requesting deletion of connected fitness account data

Connected provider evidence is private to the athlete and TruRace review systems. It is not displayed on public leaderboards, and TruRace does not use connected fitness data for advertising, data brokerage, model training, or broad analytics.
