Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Ride In Sync ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Location data — real-time GPS coordinates while a ride session is active. This is the core function of the app and is only collected during an active session.
- Account information — display name and email address if you register an account.
- Device information — device ID used to maintain session continuity across reconnects.
- Usage data — anonymous analytics about feature usage to improve the app.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide real-time proximity and mapping features within your ride group.
- To authenticate you and restore your session after reconnects.
- To improve the reliability and performance of the Service.
3. Data Sharing
Location data is shared only with other members of the same ride session in real time. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share data with service providers (e.g. hosting, analytics) strictly to operate the Service.
4. Data Retention
Live location data is ephemeral and not persisted after a session ends. Account information is retained until you delete your account.
5. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us at hello@rideinsync.app to exercise these rights.
6. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via the app or email. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
