The Ride (listed in the stores as Grupetto Ride) keeps everything you enter and everything you ride on your own device. It has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and it does not send your data to Grupetto or to anyone else.
01Who this covers
This policy covers The Ride app for iPhone, iPad and Android, published by Grupetto. The grupetto.com website, including the browser version of the game and the newsletter, has its own privacy policy.
02What the app stores
The app saves the following on your device so that it works the way you left it:
- The name you give your rider, and the colours you choose for the rider's kit.
- Your weight, your weight history, your FTP and whether you use kilograms or pounds.
- Your settings, such as the selected course and whether crashes and punctures are on.
- A record of each ride: the course, the time, your finishing place, and speed, power, cadence and heart rate where a sensor provided them.
- The Bluetooth trainers and sensors you have paired, so they reconnect next time.
None of this leaves your device through the app. Grupetto has no copy of it and cannot see it.
03What the app does not do
- It does not ask you to create an account or give an email address.
- It does not contain advertising, analytics or tracking software.
- It does not connect to Grupetto's servers or to any other online service.
- It does not read your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or health records.
- It does not sell or share data, because it does not collect any.
04Bluetooth
If you choose to ride with a smart trainer, power meter or heart rate strap, the app asks for permission to use Bluetooth. It uses Bluetooth only to find those devices, read power, cadence and heart rate from them while you ride, and tell a smart trainer how hard to resist (the gradient of the road, or the target of a workout). You can play with the on-screen controls and never grant it.
On some versions of Android the system asks for location permission before any app may search for Bluetooth devices. The app uses that permission only to find your trainer or sensor. It does not read or store where you are.
05Backups and deleting your data
Deleting the app removes everything it stored. If your phone backs up app data to iCloud or to your Google account, a copy may be kept in that backup under the terms of that service and the settings you have chosen there.
06The stores and links out of the app
Apple and Google keep their own records when you download an app, and may give developers figures such as download counts and crash reports if you have agreed to share them. Those are handled under Apple's and Google's privacy policies and do not identify you to us.
The About screen links to this site. Those links open in your browser, where the site's privacy policy applies.
07Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone, children included.
08Changes and contact
If the app ever starts to collect or send data, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change.
