Cyclorama

Privacy policy

Effective [date of first public release]. Draft for legal review (plan task LEG-04).

Who we are

Cyclorama is made by [owner's full legal name], an individual developer based in Romania (“we”, “us”). We are the controller of the little personal data described below. Contact: hello@ridecyclorama.com, or by post at [postal address].

What stays on your device

The app keeps these on your phone or tablet only. We cannot see them.

• Your progress: where you are in each era and on each route, finished eras and keepsakes.
• Your ride log: for each ride, its date, duration, distance, the era and where in it you rode, and the kind of sensor that measured it.
• Your settings: units, text size, contrast, narration, your bike's wheel size and the sensors you paired.
• Sensor readings: speed, cadence, power and distance from your trainer or bike sensor, read over Bluetooth while you ride and used to move you through history. Readings are not stored, apart from the ride totals above.

Uninstalling the app deletes all of it. Moments are read aloud by your device's own text-to-speech voice; we send nothing for that.

Permissions

• Bluetooth, to find and connect to your sensor.
• Location, on Android 11 and older only. Those Android versions require it for any Bluetooth scan. Cyclorama never reads or uses your location.

Backups and copies you make

• Your phone's own backup (iCloud backup on iPhone and iPad, Google's backup on Android) can include Cyclorama's data, so it returns on a new phone. That backup is between you and Apple or Google, under their privacy policies; we never receive it.
• “Save a copy” in Settings writes your progress to a file you choose where to keep. We never receive it.

What we receive, and only if you send it

“Report a problem” and, in test versions, “Send beta feedback” open an email in your own mail app, filled in with:

• what you write, and your email address, since you send it from your account;
• the app version, your device's operating system and version, and how long your first ride came after you first opened the app;
• if the report is about a moment, which era and card;
• if you switch it on, the last messages from your Bluetooth sensor (technical data: speed readings, and the sensor's name and Bluetooth address);
• for beta feedback, your answers and how many rides you have finished.

You see the email before you send it and can change or delete anything in it. We use it only to answer you and to fix and improve Cyclorama, on the basis of our legitimate interest in doing so (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We keep these emails until the matter is resolved and for at most 24 months, then delete them. Our email is hosted by [email provider].

What we don't do

• No accounts, sign-in, advertising, advertising identifiers or tracking across apps and sites.
• No analytics and no crash reporting at present. If we add either, it will be off unless you switch it on, and this policy will say what it sends before it ships.
• We do not sell or share personal data.

History updates

About once a day, when you are online, the app asks our server whether there are corrected or new eras, and downloads them. Like any web request, this shows the server your device's IP address and that a copy of Cyclorama asked; the app sends nothing else, no identifier, progress or settings. The server is run by [hosting provider, e.g. Cloudflare], which keeps request logs for [log retention]. We use them only to keep the service working (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Purchases

Cyclorama is free at present. If we later sell routes in the app, payment is handled entirely by the App Store or Google Play; we receive no card or payment details, only the stores' confirmation that a purchase was made.

Links to Wikipedia

Settings › About and sources links to the Wikipedia articles the history comes from. Opening one takes you to Wikipedia in your browser, under the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy.

Children

Cyclorama is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly receive personal data from them. If a child has emailed us, ask us and we will delete it.

Your rights

For anything we hold about you (in practice, emails you sent), you may ask for a copy, correction or deletion, object to how we use it, or ask us to restrict it, by writing to hello@ridecyclorama.com. We answer within one month. You can also complain to Romania's data protection authority, ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro), or the authority where you live.

Changes

When this policy changes, we update the date above and describe the change in the app's release notes. A change that uses your data in a new way will ask for your agreement first.
