What we collect, and what we don't.

Who runs this

MotoRidez is operated by Dasdow Pty Ltd (ABN 26 692 744 326), an Australian company. Dasdow Pty Ltd is the data controller for everything described on this page, contactable at privacy@motoridez.com.

What we collect

• Account details. Your email address and a hashed password. Used to sign you in and nothing else.
• Location while you use the app. When you plan a route from your current position, or hit Record on a ride, we read precise GPS. Foreground only when planning; foreground and background while a ride is being recorded so the track keeps going with the screen off.
• Recorded rides. GPS points and timestamps for rides you choose to record, plus the roads we map-match them to. This is the data that powers "remember every road I've ridden."
• Planned routes. Waypoints and the route we computed for them, saved against your account so you can open them later.
• Motion sensor readings. While a ride is being recorded the app reads the phone's accelerometer and gyroscope to estimate lean angle. Stored alongside the ride.
• Push notification token. If you allow notifications, we store the token your device gives us so we can deliver ride-related alerts (for example, a finished map-matching job).
• Roads you've ridden. Which roads each of your recorded rides covered.
• Home location (optional). If you set one, we remember it.
• Top speed per ride (optional). If you opt in, the highest speed from each ride.
• Friends, groups, shared rides. Who you're friends with, the groups you belong to, and rides you choose to share.
• Reviews. Star ratings and optional comments you leave on rides.
• Vehicles in your garage. What you've added: make, model, colour, and optional odometer.
• Public profile (optional). Anything you choose to make public.
• Emergency contact (optional). Name, phone, and email if you add one.
• Crash detection (optional). If you turn it on, the moment of a detected impact. Nothing else in the background.
• Live position during a ride. Friends riding the same trip can see where you are while your ride is recording. You can turn it off.
• Uploaded photos. We remove any embedded location info and review each photo before it's public.

What we don't do

• No ads. No ad networks. No ad SDKs.
• No third-party analytics, no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting.
• We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
• We don't read your contacts, photos, microphone, calendar, or messages.
• We don't track your location when the app is closed and no ride is being recorded.

Where the data lives

Account data, rides and planned routes are stored on servers we operate. Backups are encrypted at rest.

Services we rely on

These are the only outside services involved when you use the app, and what they see:

• OpenStreetMap & OpenFreeMap. Map tiles and base map data. Your device requests tiles directly; the tile server sees your IP and the area you're looking at, like any web map.
• Routing engine. We run our own GraphHopper instance. When you ask for a route, the waypoints you chose are sent to it so it can build the line.
• Address search. We run our own search service for the address bar. The text you type is sent to it to find matches.
• Hosting and storage. Our app and your data live on servers in Australia. When photo uploads ship, photos will be stored alongside.
• Email. We send transactional email (sign-up confirmation, password reset, emergency contact alerts) through an email provider that only sees the recipient address and message body for delivery.

That's the list. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters phoning home, no third-party login providers.

Reports + blocking

Wherever the app shows content from another rider — reviews, photos (once they ship), profile bios — there's a Report action. We commit to reviewing reports within 24 hours and acting on credible ones (removing content, banning the user) without prior notice to the offender.

You can also block any other user. Blocked users can't see your content or live position; their content disappears for you.

How long we keep it

For as long as your account is open. Delete your account and we delete your rides, planned routes, visited-roads history and push token within 30 days. Backups roll off after 90 days.

Your controls

• Turn location off in your phone settings — the app will ask again the next time you plan or record.
• Delete a ride from the rides list and it (plus the road segments it contributed) is removed.
• Email privacy@motoridez.com to export your data, correct it, or close your account.

Age requirement

MotoRidez is available to riders 18 or older only. We're currently Australia-only; riding on public roads in Australia requires a motorcycle licence, which is itself 18+ in every state and territory. We don't knowingly create accounts for anyone under 18 and will delete an account on credible report of a minor account holder.

Changes

If we collect something new or use something differently, we'll update this page and bump the date at the top. Material changes are flagged in-app the next time you sign in.
