Privacy Policy

Effective April 23, 2026.

RideReady is an independent iOS app that shows weather conditions along a motorcycle route. This policy explains what the app collects, where that data goes, and what it doesn't do.

The short version

• No account. No login. No sign-up.
• Your rides, routes, profile, and photos stay on your device.
• No advertising, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers.
• We don't sell or share your data — we never see it.

What the app collects on your device

• Location: precise GPS coordinates while you have the app open to draw a route or are actively tracking a ride. Stored locally as ride history (up to 50 most recent rides).
• Rider profile: preferences you enter during onboarding (experience level, riding style, comfort temperature and wind ranges, gear you own, and whether voice or vibration alerts are enabled).
• Routes: routes you draw, import from Google Maps links, or import from GPX files, including any names you give them.
• Photos: any photos you choose to attach to a saved route, from your photo library.

All of the above is stored locally on your device. The app has no backend server. If you delete the app, everything above is removed with it. You can also delete individual rides and routes from within the app at any time.

What the app sends to outside services

To answer "what's the weather along this route", the app sends parts of your route to the following public APIs. These services receive coordinates, not any identifier for you.

• U.S. National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) — receives individual latitude/longitude points to return forecasts. No API key, no account.
• Open-Meteo (api.open-meteo.com) — used as a fallback outside U.S. coverage. Receives coordinates. No API key, no account.
• OSRM public demo server (router.project-osrm.org) — used to "snap" a drawn route to roads. Receives the route's waypoints. No API key, no account.
• Nominatim / OpenStreetMap (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) — used to resolve place names when importing a Google Maps link. Receives the place name or coordinates being looked up. No API key, no account.

Each service has its own privacy practices; please consult their respective policies if you'd like details. The app does not send your rider profile, ride history, photos, or any device identifier to any service.

Permissions the app asks for

• Location (while using the app and in the background) — required to draw, forecast, and track rides. Background access is only used while a ride is actively being tracked; it stops when you stop the ride.
• Photo library — only when you choose to attach a photo to a saved route.
• Notifications — used to deliver in-ride weather alerts if you enable them during onboarding.

Children

RideReady is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the effective date above will change and the new policy will be reachable from the App Store listing and from the app's About screen.
