How do I control my GPS privacy and data?

GPS tracking is off by default. You control whether it runs, how long your data is kept (30 days free; longer retention available as a paid add-on), and whether your sessions are shared. You can delete all your GPS data in one tap.

Quick answer

GPS tracking is OFF until you turn it on. Free plans keep data for 30 days; longer retention is available as a one-time paid add-on (€19 for 3 months, up to keep-forever). You can delete all your GPS data any time.

How do I control my GPS privacy and data?

GPS tracking is OFF by default. You have to opt in before the tracker captures anything. All the privacy controls live in the GPS Privacy Settings section of your dashboard.

Turning tracking on or off

A single switch turns GPS tracking on or off. When off, no location data is captured, no sessions are recorded, and no waypoints are stored — even when the tracker is open on screen.

Data retention

Your tracked sessions are kept for a set amount of time. The defaults are:

  • 30 days — free on every account
  • 3 months — €19 one-time
  • 6 months — one-time payment shown at upgrade
  • 12 months — one-time payment shown at upgrade
  • 24 months — one-time payment shown at upgrade
  • 36 months — one-time payment shown at upgrade
  • Keep forever — one-time payment shown at upgrade

Retention is a one-time payment per upgrade, not a subscription. When your retention period expires, sessions older than the window are deleted automatically; you'll see a banner warning you before anything is removed so you can export or upgrade if you want to keep them.

Change your retention setting any time from GPS Privacy Settings.

Deleting your GPS data

A Delete all GPS data button wipes every session, waypoint, and heatmap contribution from your account in one action. It's permanent — once deleted, the data is gone and cannot be restored.

You can also delete individual sessions from your GPS Sessions list without affecting the rest.

Who can see your sessions

By default, only you can see your tracked sessions. Sessions become visible to someone else only when you explicitly share them:

  • Share link — creates a public URL for that one session. Revoke the link any time to hide it again.
  • Export — files you download are yours to do with as you like; sharing them is entirely on you.
  • Comparing with an instructor — if an instructor has taught you a lesson where GPS was used, they can see that specific session as part of their teaching record. Sessions you track on your own are not visible to any instructor.

GDPR and data rights

Your GPS data is personal data under GDPR. You have the right to download your data, delete it, or request human review. See how to manage your privacy and data [blocked] for the platform-wide privacy controls.
