Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Effective date: October 14, 2026
This policy covers Speedra for iPhone and Speedra for Android (the “App”).
Your privacy at a glance
Speedra reads your location on your device to show your speed, and stores recorded trips on your device. Your location and your trips are not sent to our servers. We do not run any.
Speedra has no accounts, no advertising and no analytics. The only information about you that leaves your device is what is needed to process a purchase and to load map tiles, as described below. We do not sell personal data.
For privacy questions or requests, email mail@arthurmachado.dev.
1. About this policy
This policy explains how Speedra (“we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects information when you use the App. Speedra is the controller of your personal data unless stated otherwise.
The App is for people aged 13 and over. Users under 18 need permission from a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 and will delete it if we discover that we have.
2. Information the App uses
Location
Speedra uses your device’s GPS to calculate and display speed, distance, heading, altitude and related measurements. This needs precise location. Location is processed on your device and is never sent to us.
Location is read only while Speedra is open, while you are recording a trip, or while the live speed display is on (Live Activity on iPhone, the ongoing notification on Android). On Android that notification stays visible the whole time and has a button to stop. Speedra does not ask for background location access and does not read your location at any other time.
Location is kept only for the current session unless you record a trip. Recorded trips are stored on your device until you delete them.
Motion sensors
Speedra reads the device’s motion sensors to show G-force and compass heading. This is processed on your device and never leaves it.
Maps
When a map is on screen, the App downloads map tiles for the area being shown. The map provider receives the request for that area and, like any internet request, your IP address. It does not receive your trips or any identifier from Speedra.
| Platform | Map provider |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Apple Maps |
| Android | OpenFreeMap, with map data from OpenStreetMap |
Purchases
Speedra Pro is sold through the App Store on iPhone and Google Play on Android. Apple or Google processes the payment. We never see your card details.
We use RevenueCat to confirm what you have bought and unlock Pro. RevenueCat receives a random identifier created by the App, your purchase history for Speedra, and basic device details such as platform, system version, app version and country. This is not linked to your name or email, because Speedra never asks for them.
Preferences and trips
Your settings, recorded trips and imported GPX files are stored on your device. If you export or share a trip, the file goes only where you send it.
What we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or advertising identifier. Speedra has no sign-in, no analytics SDK and no advertising SDK. We do not track you across apps or websites.
Apple and Google may share crash reports with developers if you have opted in on your device. Those reports are governed by their privacy policies and do not include your location or trips.
3. How we use information
Information is used to show your speed and trip features, and to confirm purchases so Pro features unlock.
We do not sell personal data, use data for targeted advertising or share it with data brokers.
Legal bases under GDPR and LGPD
- Contract: Providing the App and the purchases you make.
- Legitimate interests: Preventing purchase fraud and keeping the App working.
- Consent: Access to location and notifications, which you grant or refuse in your device settings.
- Legal obligation: Complying with applicable laws and responding to lawful requests.
4. When we share information
We share the minimum data needed with service providers:
| Provider | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (iPhone) | Payments, maps | Purchase information, map requests |
| Google (Android) | Payments | Purchase information |
| OpenFreeMap (Android) | Maps | Map requests |
| RevenueCat | Confirming purchases | Random app identifier, purchase history, basic device details |
We may also disclose information in response to valid legal process, including a subpoena or court order, to law enforcement with proper authority, to protect our legal rights, or in emergencies involving safety.
5. Keeping information secure
All connections the App makes are encrypted in transit. Trips and settings stay in the App’s private storage on your device, protected by your device’s own security.
6. How long we keep information
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Trips and settings | On your device until you delete them or uninstall the App |
| Purchase records at RevenueCat | For as long as needed to honour your purchase, or until you ask us to delete them |
7. Your choices and rights
- Location: Turn it off at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services on iPhone, or Settings > Apps > Speedra > Permissions on Android. Speedra cannot show speed without it.
- Notifications: Turn them off in your device settings.
- Trips: Delete any trip in the App. Uninstalling Speedra deletes everything it stored on your device.
- Purchase records: Email us to have the purchase record held by RevenueCat deleted. Tell us the platform you bought on so we can find it.
All users can request a copy of their data, corrections to inaccurate information, and deletion of their data.
