Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026
This policy describes what Cycle Club Near Me ("the app") collects, why, and how you can control it.
What we collect
- Location. While you have an active ride session, the app records your GPS location — including while the app is in the background — to track distance, speed, and route. Location recording stops when you end a session; it is never active outside a session.
- Photos. Mission proof photos, spot photos, and any images you attach to an issue report are uploaded and stored to verify completion and improve the game.
- Account information. A stable identifier from your chosen sign-in provider (Google or Apple), your in-app handle, and gameplay progress (level, XP, completed missions).
- Date of birth. Collected only to determine eligibility for age-restricted (18+) missions. Never shown to other users or displayed anywhere in the app.
- Device push token. Used to deliver notifications about your account and gameplay (e.g. a session that closed unexpectedly, an area unlocking).
How we use it
Location and photo data power the core gameplay loop: verifying you visited a real place, computing ride statistics, and awarding experience points. Photos submitted as mission or spot proof are automatically reviewed by a cloud vision service to check they plausibly match what was asked for — this is an automated check, not a person browsing your photos.
Who we share it with
- Cloud object storage (photos, ride tracks) — used only to store and serve your own content back to you.
- A cloud vision API — used only to automatically check a submitted photo against what a mission asked for.
- A push notification service — used only to deliver notifications to your device.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
Children's privacy
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. Missions involving age-restricted venues are gated behind the date-of-birth check described above.
Your choices
You can delete your account at any time from within the app. This permanently removes your account and ride history. If you have any questions about your data, contact us using the details below.
