◎ MY GPS — PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 10 June 2026 · Applies to the My GPS iOS app and mygps.uk

Who we are

My GPS is operated by AYDA Digital (United Kingdom) — the data controller for the purposes of UK GDPR. Contact: privacy@mygps.uk.

What we collect, and why

• Account details — your email address and name, received from Google when you sign in. Used only to identify your account. Signing in is optional; without an account everything stays on your device.
• Location data you choose to save — recorded tracks, saved places, geofence areas, and (while you have one running) live-share positions. Stored so your data syncs between your devices and the web app. Your live position is processed only while you are recording, sharing, or have a geofence active.
• Telegram chat ID — only if you link Telegram alerts, so our bot can message you. We never see or store your phone number.
• A session cookie (MYGPS_SESS) — strictly necessary to keep you signed in. No analytics or advertising cookies.

What we never do

• No advertising, no analytics trackers, no sale or sharing of your data with anyone.
• No tracking across other apps or websites.
• No background collection beyond the features you have switched on.

Where your data lives

On our private server infrastructure (IONOS). Data is transmitted over HTTPS only. Third parties involved: Google (sign-in), Telegram (alert messages, if you link it), and Apple/Google Maps (only when you choose to open or share a maps link).

How long we keep it

Until you delete it. Tracks and places can be deleted individually in the app or on the web; your whole account (and every byte of your data) can be deleted in the app under Account → Delete account, with immediate effect.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can access, correct, export, or erase your data. The app provides export (Account → Export my data) and erasure directly. For anything else, email us — we respond within one month. You may also complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).

Children

My GPS is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we will note it here with a new date.
