# Binding the App with Your RUFUS Cloud Account

To use the RUFUS Timing App effectively, you need to bind it to your RUFUS Cloud account. This ensures that your timing data is synchronized and accessible across devices. Follow the steps below to bind the app:

## Step 1: Obtain the Bind Token

* Log into your RUFUS Cloud account at [cloud.runonrufus.com](https://cloud.runonrufus.com).
* Navigate to the **Devices** section.
* Click on **"Generate token"** to create a unique bind token. This token will securely link your RUFUS Timing App to your Cloud account.

## Step 2: Enter the Bind Token in the App

* Open the **RUFUS Timing App** on your Android device.
* Enter the bind token generated from your RUFUS Cloud account.

## Step 3: Bind the Device

* Tap on **"BIND"** to complete the process.
* The app will attempt to connect to the Cloud and bind with your account. If successful, the app will be ready to transmit timing data to your RUFUS Cloud account.

## Step 4: Confirmation

* Once the binding is successful, a confirmation message will appear in the app, indicating that the device is now connected to your RUFUS Cloud account and ready to start creating timing sessions.

## Unbinding the App

To unbind the RUFUS Timing App from your Cloud account, follow these steps:

* Go to the main upper-right menu in the app and click the **Unbind** option.
* Once unbound, the device will no longer appear in your Cloud account, and all timing sessions and passings will be removed and no longer accessible.
* Note that all processed passings by RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) **will not** be removed, as they are already part of an event classification.

***

After binding, your RUFUS Timing App is fully set up to synchronize with your Cloud account, allowing you to manage timing sessions and event data seamlessly.
