Collecting and Using Your Personal Data
Types of Data Collected
Personal Data
While using Our Service, We collect the following categories of information. Except where stated otherwise, all of it is associated with Your Account.
- Email address
- Account identifier, being the unique identifier assigned to Your Account when You register
- Precise location, used to show Your position on the map, to route from where You are, and to provide turn-by-turn navigation
- Approximate location, being the country, region and city We derive from the Internet Protocol (IP) address of Your Device
- Trip and saved route content, including Waypoint coordinates, Waypoint names and addresses, and the names You give to saved routes
- Search terms You enter when looking for a place to add to a trip
- Purchase and subscription history, including which subscription You hold, its status, and the product identifier, price and currency of a purchase
- Device and app information, including device model and manufacturer, operating system name and version, app version and build, screen dimensions, language and locale, time zone, and network connection type
- Usage Data, including Session Recordings
- Crash reports, diagnostic data and error details
Usage Data
Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.
Usage Data includes the IP address of Your Device, the features and screens of the Application You interact with, the time and date of Your use, the time spent in the Application, whether the Application was installed, updated, opened or sent to the background, unique identifiers assigned to Your installation of the Application, and other diagnostic data.
Analytics, Diagnostics and Session Recording
We use a third-party product analytics service, PostHog, to understand how the Application is used and to find and fix defects. We want to be specific about what this involves, because it goes further than event counting.
We record Your sessions in the Application, including screen recordings that capture what is displayed on screen and what You type. These recordings may include the search terms You enter, the names and addresses of the places You add to a trip, the names You give to saved routes, Your email address as You enter it when signing in, and the map view showing Your location, Your route and Your Waypoints. Recordings are captured for sessions in the Application generally, not for a sample of them.
Two limits apply to this recording:
- Session Recording is switched off during turn-by-turn navigation. The navigation screen is not recorded.
- One-time sign-in codes are hidden from recordings and are never captured.
We also collect crash reports and error diagnostics, which include the type and message of the error, a stack trace identifying where in the Application the error occurred, and the device and app information described above. Error messages are generated by the Application and the services it depends on rather than written by You, but they can occasionally contain details relating to Your Account.
Analytics data, Session Recordings and diagnostic data are linked to Your Account once You sign in. Where We collect this information before You sign in, for example while You are moving through the introductory screens, it is associated with Your Account when You subsequently sign in.
We do not use any of this information to track You across apps or websites owned by other companies, We do not access Your device’s advertising identifier, and We do not sell this information or share it with data brokers or advertising networks.
Information Collected while Using the Application
While using Our Application, in order to provide features of Our Application, We collect, with Your prior permission:
- Precise location information. We use this to show Your position on the map, to begin a route from where You are, to provide turn-by-turn navigation, and to find places near You. The Application is able to access Your location while it is running in the background so that navigation can continue while Your Device is locked or You are using another app.
Location information is sent to Our mapping and routing provider in order to produce a route and to provide navigation. Where You save a route, its Waypoint coordinates and names are stored on Our servers and associated with Your Account so that the route is available to You later. Your location may also appear within a Session Recording, as described above, because the map is visible on screen.
You can enable or disable access to this information at any time, through Your Device settings.

Your Choices About Analytics
The Application does not currently offer an in-app setting to switch off analytics or Session Recording.

You can withdraw the Application’s access to Your location at any time in Your Device settings, though some features of the Service will not work without it.
Retention of Your Personal Data
The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.
