Motorcycle Ride Planner is free, and it is built so that most of it works without telling us anything at all. This page says exactly what that means.
What stays on your device
Display settings such as text size and theme stay in your browser. If you are signed out, garage and planning work may also remain only in that browser. If you sign in or use account features, bikes, saved roads, plans, rides, and related feature data can be stored on our servers so they can follow you between devices.
A shared trip can contain a bearer link or token. Those credentials are excluded from account downloads so a downloaded file cannot silently grant somebody else access.
Location, which is the part that matters
If you use Use my location when planning, your browser gives us a position to plan from. It is used for that and not stored.
If you deliberately start a ride so people can follow along, your position is sent while the ride is running so the people you gave the link to can see where you are. That is the entire purpose of the feature. It is a safety feature for family and clubs, not a statistics feature.
We do not sell location data. We do not use it to target advertising. We do not build a profile of where you ride. That is a decision recorded in our own architecture notes, not a line added to satisfy a policy page.
Stop the ride and the sharing stops.
Who else sees a route
Planning a route means asking other services to draw it. Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap, routing from a Valhalla routing server, and place search from Nominatim. Those services necessarily see the coordinates involved in the request. We do not send them your name, your email, or anything about your bike, because we do not need to.
Accounts
You can use this site without one. If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple we receive your name and email address from them and nothing else. We never see or store a password, because we never ask for one. An account exists so your garage follows you between devices; it does not unlock anything, and nothing you can see today will be put behind it.
Advertising
This site is free and is paid for by advertising. Ads may be matched to the kind of motorcycle in your garage — a touring rider and a sport rider want different tyres. They are not matched to where you have ridden or where you are.
Keeping it
Ride history and live-sharing features can store location samples for their stated purpose and retention period. A deletion request made below is reversible workflow state only: it does not itself execute deletion. Shared community records, immutable evidence, audit records, credentials, and operational provenance may be omitted from an export or retained. A domain marked review required has no automatic deletion promise. The preview names every known domain and separately explains export coverage and prospective deletion treatment. If a repository cannot be queried, its presence is unknown; that never means zero records and never means deletion occurred.
Your account data
When you are signed in, you can download rider-owned data where ownership is clear. The download is explicitly marked partial and enumerates every known account domain, including anything omitted, retained, or requiring review and why. Authentication credentials and other people's identity are minimized. Repository failures remain visible as unavailable domains while successful domains are still shown.
Checking your account data status…
This request does not delete anything and remains reversible until execution. The separate executor requires the same persisted account generation, an explicitly eligible request, no active hold, and complete adapters for every enumerated domain. Unknown policy or an unavailable adapter fails closed. Third-party work is reported as externally pending unless an explicit adapter truthfully completes it; no provider identity or external completion is inferred. Once local execution completes it cannot be cancelled or undone; the result lists retained records and provider work still pending.
Children
This is a service for people who ride motorcycles. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes, and asking us things
If this policy changes in a way that affects what we do with your information, the date at the top changes and the change is described here rather than slipped in.
