Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
Pinride ("Pinride", "we", "us") is a check-in app for motorcyclists. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and the rights you have over it. It is written for the EU/EEA market (Sweden) and follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is Simon Wessel, operating Pinride as an individual developer. For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact [email protected].
What we collect
- Browsing is anonymous — you can open Pinride and explore the map without signing in or providing any personal data.
- Account — to check in or add a place you sign in with your Google account (on Android) or Apple ID (on iOS). We receive your email address from the sign-in provider to create and identify your account. Apple's "Hide My Email" relay address is supported.
- Display name — shown to other riders on the places you contribute to. It is generated from the local part of your email address when you first sign in, and you can change it in the app.
- Precise location — when you check in, we use your device location to confirm you are actually at the place (a geofence check) and to record where the check-in happened. Location is used while you have the app open; we do not collect background location.
- Check-ins and ratings — the places you check in at, the structured ratings you give, and the time of the check-in.
- Photos — any photo you choose to attach to a check-in.
- Limited technical data — basic information needed to operate the service securely (for example, a measure of how long a check-in form took to fill in, used only to flag implausible submissions for data quality).
What is public
Pinride is a shared map. The following are visible to other riders: places you add, the ratings you submit (shown in aggregate per place), photos you attach to a check-in, and your display name. Treat anything you add to a check-in or photo as public.
Why we use it (lawful basis)
- To provide the service (check-ins, your personal log, the discovery map) — our legitimate interest in operating a useful, honest mapping service for motorcyclists.
- Account and sign-in — necessary to provide the contribution features (checking in, adding places) and to keep contributions attributable, which protects against fake or abusive data. Sign-in is handled by Google or Apple; we receive only your email address.
- Location at check-in — your consent, given through the OS location permission; you can withdraw it at any time in your device settings (you will not be able to check in without it).
- Keeping ratings trustworthy and the service secure — our legitimate interest in preventing fake or abusive data.
How long we keep it
We keep your personal data while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Delete account), which removes it straight away; you can also request deletion by email or via our account deletion page, and we will action it within 30 days. When an account is deleted we remove your identifying data — sign-in identity and email, check-in photos, notes, and precise location — and anonymise the rest: the ratings you gave places are kept but unlinked from you, so the shared map stays accurate. Anonymised data is no longer personal data and is kept indefinitely. See the account deletion page for the full breakdown.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that run the app's infrastructure (our hosting and database provider, Supabase) under appropriate data-processing terms, and where required by law.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can request access to your data, correction, deletion, a copy of your data (portability), restriction of, or objection to, certain processing, and withdrawal of consent. To make a request, email [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — in Sweden, the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY).
Children
Pinride is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under the age required to consent to data processing in their country.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
