Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Maptrails Beacon app.

Information we collect

Maptrails Beacon app does not collect any information about the user that is not directly used as part of the location sharing feature. When pairing the Beacon app with the main Maptrails app, a randomly generated identifier is stored on the server. Also, the model name of the device and a custom name assigned to the Beacon by the user are stored on the server. This data is deleted when the pairing is removed by the user in the Beacon and Maptrails apps.

Maptrails Beacon does not use third party frameworks to collect crash data or analytics. Generic usage data is collected using Google’s built-in app analytics that you can opt out of at any time.

Transmission of location data

While location tracking of the Beacon app is enabled, its coordinates, speed, course, altitude and battery level is sent to the server and then immediately forwarded to the Maptrails app. This data is not stored or logged on the server.
