Privacy Policy — Apex GP

This Privacy Policy describes how Apex GP (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “App”) handles information when you use our ride tracking and related features on iPhone, Apple Watch, and widgets.

By using the App, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. What the App does

Apex GP lets you record rides, view speed and route statistics, compete on leaderboards, connect with friends, check weather, use Apple Watch and Health features, export or share ride content, and send optional feedback to us.

We collect and use information only to run these features, keep the service secure, and improve the App. We do not sell your personal information for advertising.

2. Information we collect

Account

When you sign in (including with Apple), we may receive a user identifier, email if you choose to share it, a public nickname, your selected country or region for rankings, and basic account dates. We use this to operate your profile, social features, and leaderboards.

Rides and location

When you record a ride, the App may use your location (including in the background if you allow it), speed, route, motion-related measurements, and session details you add. This powers tracking, maps, statistics, exports, and competitive features.

Most ride history stays on your device. If you use Apple’s cloud storage for the App, your history may sync between your own Apple devices under your Apple ID, under Apple’s rules.

We do not make your full ride history public. Only information needed for rankings, social features, or features you actively use may be processed on our systems as described below.

Leaderboards and fair play

If you use rankings, we may process summary results (such as best speed or sprint times, period, and region) and, in some cases, a limited set of location and speed points to verify unusual results. Administrators may review flagged entries.

Social features

If you use friends, blocking, or activity feeds, we process connection requests, blocks, and public profile information shown in the App (such as nickname, region, and ranking-related stats).

Notifications

If you enable notifications, we use a device token linked to your account to send alerts you opt into (for example friend requests).

Apple Health and Apple Watch

If you allow access, the App may read heart rate during activity and save workouts to Apple Health. Apple controls Health data under your device settings.

Weather

To show weather near you, the App may send approximate location to Apple’s weather service.

Camera, microphone, photos, and video

Recording ride videos uses the camera and microphone only while you record.

Optional bug reports may include photos you attach.

Ride video tools may import or save videos only when you choose.

Sharing ride files or videos to other apps is your choice; we do not control what you send outside the App.

Diagnostics

We may receive crash and stability reports and, if you send a bug report, your description, optional screenshots, and basic device and app version information.

3. How we use information

We use information to:

provide and improve the App;

display statistics, maps, leaderboards, and social features;

prevent abuse and cheating in rankings;

send notifications you enable;

respond to support requests;

maintain security and fix errors.

We may use service providers (such as Apple and cloud hosting partners) who process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect it.

4. Sharing

We may share information:

With Apple — for sign-in, optional device sync, Health, weather, and push delivery, under Apple’s policies.

With service providers (Firebase) — for hosting, authentication, messaging, crash reporting, and storage of support materials you submit.

With other users — only what the App shows by design (for example public nickname, ranking placement, or social activity you trigger).

When you share — any file or video you export or send yourself to third parties.

We do not sell your personal data.

Access to internal support and moderation tools is limited to authorized personnel.

5. Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above: while you use the App, while your account exists, or as required for security, legal compliance, or dispute resolution. You can delete rides on your device. You may request account and cloud data deletion by emailing us.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No system is perfectly secure. Protect your device with a passcode and keep your Apple ID secure. Contact us if you believe your account was misused.

7. Your choices and rights

You can:

change or revoke location, camera, microphone, Health, and notification permissions in iOS Settings;

stop using cloud features by not signing in;

delete rides in the App;

block other users in the App;

adjust notification preferences in the App.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal data, or to object to certain processing. Email leschenkoapp@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy / Apex GP” and your in-app nickname or account email. We will respond within a reasonable time.

You may also contact your local data protection authority.

8. Children

The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children. Contact us if you believe a child provided data.

9. International use

Our service may involve processing in countries other than yours. We take steps consistent with applicable law when using international providers.

10. Changes

We may update this Policy. The date at the top will change. Important changes may be communicated in the App. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Policy where the law allows.

11. Important notice about your safety and responsibility

Please read this section carefully. It explains your obligations and limits our liability related to how you use the App.

Nature of the App

Apex GP is provided for information and entertainment only. It is not a safety system, emergency service, navigator, traffic advisor, professional coach, insurer, or medical or legal advice. Nothing in the App replaces your judgment, training, protective equipment, or compliance with laws that apply where you ride or drive.

Your choices and conduct

You alone decide whether, where, and how to ride, drive, race, perform stunts, or use the App. We do not control, supervise, or direct your physical activities or your use of roads, tracks, private property, or any other location.

You are solely and fully responsible for:

your safety and the safety of passengers, pedestrians, and other road users;

obeying speed limits, traffic rules, signs, road conditions, and all applicable local, national, and international laws;

obtaining any permits, insurance, or approvals required for your activity;

the condition and suitability of your vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or equipment;

deciding whether it is safe and lawful to use a phone or watch while moving;

any speeding, reckless, negligent, illegal, or dangerous behavior;

content you post, share, export, or send to others (including videos, ride files, and messages).

What we are not responsible for

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we (the developer, publisher, and operators of Apex GP) are not liable for any loss, injury, death, or damage of any kind arising from or related to your use of the App or the conduct of any user, including but not limited to:

accidents, collisions, falls, or other incidents;

physical injury, disability, psychological harm, or death;

fines, penalties, license suspension, criminal charges, or civil claims;

damage to or loss of your vehicle, gear, data, or property, or anyone else’s property;

actions, omissions, content, or misconduct of other users (including friends, rankings, messages, or shared files);

decisions you make based on speed, GPS, route maps, G-force, heart rate, weather, rankings, statistics, notifications, or any other App information;

reliance on the App during riding, driving, racing, or stunts;

problems caused by device battery, signal loss, software bugs, updates, downtime, or third-party services;

content or services offered by Apple or other third parties linked from or used with the App.

Accuracy of information

Speed, location, distance, routes, G-force, heart rate, weather, rankings, and other values may be wrong, incomplete, delayed, or unavailable. Do not treat the App as a precise measuring instrument, navigation tool, or guarantee of performance or safety.

Leaderboards and social features reflect user activity and automated processing; we do not guarantee fairness, accuracy, or freedom from abuse. Competitive use of the App is at your own risk.

Experimental or beta features may fail or behave unexpectedly; use them only if you accept that risk.

Health

If you use Health or Watch features, you are responsible for whether physical activity is appropriate for you. Consult a qualified professional if in doubt. Stop immediately if you feel unwell. We are not responsible for health outcomes linked to your use of the App.

Emergencies

The App does not contact emergency services. In an emergency, call local emergency numbers or seek help through appropriate channels.

Use while operating a vehicle

Do not use the App in any way that distracts you or increases risk while operating a car, motorcycle, bicycle, or other vehicle or machinery, unless doing so is clearly safe and legal where you are. Many jurisdictions restrict device use while driving; you must follow those rules.

Sharing and publishing

If you export rides, videos, or statistics outside the App, you choose who receives them and you are responsible for that sharing, including privacy of others and compliance with platform rules.

Acceptance

By using the App, you confirm that you understand and accept this section. If you do not agree, uninstall the App and stop using it.

Nothing in this Policy limits rights that applicable consumer protection laws may give you where those rights cannot be waived.
