Anonymous statistics
A random identifier specific to the installation (linked neither to the phone nor to a person), counters (app opens, navigations started or finished, guided km, loops, shares, GPX imports, reports, crashes), the chosen ride type, app and Android versions, language and enabled features. Never any location, route, name, email or phone number; the IP address is not stored with this data. It is used only for aggregate statistics, never shared or used for advertising, and can be turned off in Settings › Privacy.
Background location
Location is used in the background only during navigation or a recorded ride, shown by a persistent notification. Never otherwise.
