RideWise Moto – Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy — RideWise Moto Last updated: 03 Juni 2026
1. Who we are
RideWise Moto ("the App") is developed and operated by artPhone s.r.o., Dunajska 8, 81108 Bratislava, Slovakia (VAT ID: SK2120056169). For any privacy-related question you can contact us at the address listed at the bottom of this page.
2. Data we use
The App is designed to use only the information needed for its core function: providing motorcycle-relevant weather guidance.
Location data: The App uses your device's current location to query weather forecasts and to compute a riding score for your selected riding area. Your precise location never leaves your device — only the forecast results are received from the weather service.
Weather data: We retrieve forecast data from a third-party weather service (WeatherAPI.com). Their privacy policy applies to that data exchange.
3. Community features (anonymous)
When you tap the "forecast confirmed" button on the score card, the App sends the following data to a secure cloud service operated by Google (Google Firebase / Firestore):
a randomly generated, anonymous device identifier (a UUID stored only on your device; not linked to your name, e-mail, Apple ID, advertising ID or any other identifier),
an approximate GPS coordinate, rounded to roughly 5 km accuracy for privacy,
the timestamp of the confirmation,
the score number that was visible on screen at the time,
a short rider-profile label (e.g. "beginner", "experienced") for aggregated statistics.
This data is used solely to compute and display an aggregated count of nearby ride confirmations to other users in your area. We do not link these confirmations to your identity, and the rounded GPS makes it impossible to derive a precise track of your movements.
4. Weekend forecast newsletter (optional opt-in)
If — and only if — you enter your e-mail address into the weekend forecast subscription field and tap the subscribe button, your e-mail address is stored in a separate Google Firebase collection together with your selected language and the same anonymous device identifier referenced above. We use this e-mail address solely to send you a short weekly summary of weekend riding conditions.
You can unsubscribe at any time by contacting us at the e-mail address below; we will delete your subscription record promptly.
5. Data we do NOT collect
The App does not collect or transmit:
your name, surname, real-world identity, age, gender, phone number,
precise GPS tracks of your routes,
contacts, photos, calendar entries or other phone content,
crash logs containing personal data,
analytics that would identify you personally.
The App contains no third-party advertising SDKs, no behavioural tracking, and no fingerprinting libraries.
6. Data retention
Anonymous confirmation entries are retained for 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted. Weekend newsletter subscriptions are retained for as long as you remain subscribed.
7. Your rights (GDPR & equivalent)
If you reside in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or in any jurisdiction with similar privacy laws, you have the right to:
request access to the data we hold about you,
request correction or deletion of your data,
object to or restrict our processing,
lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us at the e-mail listed below. Because the in-app confirmations are anonymous (only an anonymous device ID), we cannot identify your specific records without you sending us the device ID — found in [Settings → More / About → Privacy section, in a future build]. For the weekend newsletter, simply provide the e-mail address you used to subscribe.
8. Service providers
We use Google Firebase (operated by Google LLC and Google Ireland Ltd.) as our cloud backend for community features and for the weekend newsletter subscription list. Google's processing of the data is governed by their own privacy notice. Google Firebase is a Standard Contractual Clauses-compliant data processor for EEA / UK users.
We use WeatherAPI.com for weather forecast data; only your approximate location is sent to the weather provider in real time, and they return the forecast.
9. Children's privacy
The App is intended for adult motorcyclists. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 16. If you believe a child has used the App, please contact us and we will delete any associated data.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "last updated" date and, where appropriate, an in-app notification.
