Privacy Policy
Effective: 2026-11-01
MyRide treats your privacy as the first requirement. Parking spots, vehicle details, paperwork, fuel, servicing and expenses are stored on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. An extra copy goes to your own cloud account only if you turn on Premium cloud sync, or if your phone's own system backup (such as iCloud Backup or Google backup) is on. This page explains how the app and this website handle your data.
In-app data
We collect no personal data
Everything the app stores is kept on your phone. Nothing is sent, uploaded or synced to us. We have no servers of our own and no accounts, so your data simply never reaches us. Premium cloud sync only runs once you turn it on, and your data and photos go to your own iCloud or Google Drive, which we cannot reach. If your phone's system backup (iCloud Backup on iPhone, Google backup on Android) is on, it also backs up the app's data to your own account.
Data scope
The app may store the following on your device:
- Parking spots you create: GPS coordinates, level and stall number, street name, on-site photo, notes and expected leave time
- Your vehicles: name, plate, model and an optional photo; plus the vehicle documents you keep in Documents: type, name, expiry date, notes and photos (from version 1.1.0)
- Your paperwork and logs: plate, amount and due date of parking tickets, fines and taxes, and the volume, cost, odometer, date and category of fuel, service and expense entries
- Your purchase state (whether Premium is unlocked) and your notification, map provider and unit preferences
- Parking spots you saved as favorites
All of it is stored on your device by default. If you turn on Premium cloud sync, a copy is also kept in your own iCloud or Google Drive (see "Backup and sync" below); if your phone's system backup is on, the system also backs it up to your own account. We can't see or touch any of it.
Permissions
The app requests these permissions only when needed:
One location read when you tap "Record Parking Spot" — never tracked in the background while the app is closed
Photographing level signs in car parks and taking a photo of your vehicle, and photographing vehicle documents to keep in Documents (from version 1.1.0)
Picking or saving photos of parking spots, vehicles and vehicle documents (documents from version 1.1.0) on the device (required on some platforms)
Reminders for parking-ticket, fine and tax due dates and for upcoming service, scheduled on your phone — no server involved
Backup and sync
If you turn on cloud sync in Settings, MyRide saves your data and photos (of your cars, parking spots and bills, plus vehicle documents from version 1.1.0) to your own iCloud or Google Drive. The files stay in your account — we can't see them or reach them, and you decide when to turn it on or off.
You can also export a backup file yourself and import it on a new phone; exported backups include your photos too. Cloud sync and backup files are Premium features; MyRide itself has no other way to move your data. Separately, phone system backups such as iPhone's iCloud Backup and Android's Google backup save the data of the apps on your phone (including MyRide) to your account and restore it when you reinstall or switch to a phone of the same platform; how much comes back is up to the system. Whether they're on is set in your phone's system settings, not in MyRide.
Home screen widget and parking countdown (from version 1.1.0)
If you add the "Where I parked" widget to your home screen, or save a parking spot with the paid version, MyRide hands the spot's name (or street), floor, bay number and parking time to your phone's system to show on the home screen, lock screen or in a notification. This stays on this phone, is never sent anywhere, and contains no coordinates or photos.
Keep in mind that anyone can see the lock screen while your phone is locked. If that bothers you, remove the widget, end the parking countdown with "Picked up my car", or turn off MyRide's Live Activities or notifications in your phone's settings.
Sale history PDF (from version 1.1.0)
When you create a sale history, the whole PDF is made on your phone from the fuel and service records you entered. You then choose who to send it to or where to save it on the share screen; MyRide keeps no copy and sends it nowhere.
Rating requests (from version 1.1.0)
Now and then, after you finish something, MyRide asks your phone to show its built-in rating prompt. Whether you rate and what you write is up to you; ratings go straight to the App Store or Google Play, and MyRide cannot see them.
Outbound connections
The app works on your phone first, and needs the internet only in these cases: (1) while the parking map is open, the map loads from OpenStreetMap (a public online map), sending coordinates only and nothing that identifies you; (2) to show a street name, your GPS coordinates go through the address lookup built into your phone (Apple's on iPhone, Google's on Android), again coordinates only; (3) when you create the annual PDF report or a sale history PDF (from version 1.1.0) and the phone doesn't have the fonts it needs yet — for a Chinese, Japanese or Korean report, or when the report contains characters the built-in fonts lack — it downloads them once from Google's public font service and keeps them on the phone, fetching only the fonts and never sending any of your records; (4) each time it opens, it checks for a new version (see "Checking for updates" below), fetching only public version information. Cloud sync, when you turn it on, connects to your own cloud storage (see "Backup and sync" above). The app uses no advertising, analytics or tracking tools (no Google Analytics, no Firebase, no Meta tracking). Apple App Store and Google Play handle the one-time Premium purchase; the app never touches your card details.
How paying actually works (important)
MyRide is a tool for keeping records and reminding you — it is not a payment platform and does not process payments. For anything you owe:
- You pay through the official channels of the authority or company that issued the bill
- The charge, card entry and identity checks happen there, never inside MyRide
MyRide never sees your payment details and will never ask you for a card number, bank account or payment verification code. Buying Premium pays for MyRide’s features only — it has nothing to do with the tickets, fines or taxes you owe, and MyRide cannot use it to pay them for you.
Deleting your data
You can remove all of the app's data from this phone at any time: uninstall the app, or clear its data and cache in system settings. If you have ever turned on cloud sync, also delete the app's data and photos from your iCloud or Google Drive; if your phone's system backup is on, you can manage or delete it in your phone's system settings.
Website inquiry form
When you submit the inquiry form, we receive your name, email, subject, message, IP and browser info — only to reply. We do not market or share with third parties.
Website third parties
This site's connection and security protection are provided by Cloudflare, and notification emails from the contact form are sent through Postmark / Resend. These services only handle what is needed to show the site and send mail, and never touch the data the app keeps on your phone.
Your rights
Email buy.weimi@gmail.com any time to request access, correction or deletion of your inquiry record.
Children
Neither the app nor this site is directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Checking for updates
To let you know when a new version is out, MyRide checks App Store or Google Play for the latest version and reads the version notice on the MyRide website when it opens. Like opening a web page, these checks only fetch public version information and never send any of your data or records in MyRide.
Changes
Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Please check back periodically.
