Privacy Policy

Last updated August 31, 2026

The short version

The Second Kick Maps app has no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking SDK. Your waypoints, tracks, trips, photos, and settings are stored only on your device. We receive none of it.

What the app stores

Everything you create — waypoints, recorded tracks, planned routes, trips, photos, and preferences — is stored locally on your device. It leaves your device only when you explicitly export or share it, and then it goes only where you send it.

Location

The app uses your device's GPS to show your position, record tracks, and create waypoints. Location data is processed and stored on the device. The current app has no channel that sends it to us.

Network requests the app makes

To draw maps and provide optional features, the app talks directly to public services: map tiles from USGS, USFS, BLM, and AWS Terrain; Apple Maps for place search; the U.S. National Weather Service for forecasts; and USGS for elevation. Route planning and snap-to-trail run entirely on your device from the routing packs you download, so they make no network requests. These requests carry only the coordinates needed to answer them (for example, the area of map you're viewing) and are governed by those services' own policies. No identifiers, accounts, or advertising IDs are attached — the app has none.

Downloading a state's map tiles or routing pack is a request to our hosting provider, the same as downloading a file from any website: it sees standard request details — the file, your IP address, a timestamp, and basic app identification — and uses them to serve the file and keep the service running.

Purchases

The optional subscription is bought from and billed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details; the app checks your subscription status with Apple on the device.

What we collect

Nothing. There is no sign-up, no email list, no crash reporter, and no analytics SDK.

This website

This page and the rest of secondkickmoto.com are separate from the app. The site sets no cookies, builds no profiles, and collects no personal data and no cross-site tracking identifiers. If we ever count visits, it will be with anonymous, aggregate, cookieless analytics. The app itself still collects nothing.

Children

Second Kick Maps does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

This policy describes Second Kick Maps as it works today: on-device, with no account required. If a future version adds an optional service — like account-based sync, for riders who want it — that would be something you choose to turn on, not a change to the app you already have, and this page will be updated to describe it.
