Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

ApexRide ("we", "our", "us") is a motorcycle ride tracking application. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Information We Collect

Account data: When you sign in with Google, we receive your display name, email address, and profile photo.

Location data: With your permission, we collect GPS location data to record rides, display routes on maps, and enable group ride features. Location is collected in the foreground during active rides and, if you enable Auto-Detection, in the background to detect new rides.

Ride & telemetry data: Speed, distance, duration, elevation, and route coordinates recorded during your rides.

Device data: Activity recognition sensor data (used solely to detect when you start or stop riding).

2. How We Use Your Information

• Record and display your ride history, stats, and route maps
• Enable group ride features (proximity detection, live member locations during active group rides)
• Generate static map images of your routes
• Sync your rides across devices when signed in
• Improve the app experience and fix bugs

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Your data may be shared in these limited ways:

• Group ride members: When you join a group ride, other members can see your display name, approximate location during the active ride, and ride summary stats.
• Published routes: If you choose to publish a ride as a route, its path and metadata become visible to other users.
• Service providers: We use third-party services (Google Maps API for map images, Render for hosting) that process data on our behalf.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in MongoDB hosted on a secured cloud service. Ride data recorded locally on your device is stored using Android's Room database. All network communication uses HTTPS encryption.

5. Location & Background Permissions

ApexRide requests location permissions for ride tracking. Background location access is only used when Auto-Detection is enabled and is required to detect ride starts when the app is not in the foreground. You can disable this at any time in Settings → Ride Detection → Auto-Detection.

6. Your Rights

• Access & export: You can view all your ride data within the app.
• Deletion: You can delete individual rides. To delete your account and all associated data, contact us.
• Revoke permissions: You can revoke location and activity recognition permissions in your device settings at any time.

7. Children's Privacy

ApexRide is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
