YOUR RIDES. No account, advertising ID, own analytics or tracking. Location is requested only for features that need it. Favourites and saved routes are encrypted in private app storage, excluded from backups and can be deleted in one place. The privacy policy names the online services. Google ML Kit translates event texts on-device and may send technical data to Google. A limited online fallback covers twelve fixed terms: the app sends only a term ID to PedalArrow; the server queries DeepL API. No event texts, names or locations are sent to DeepL. Radio streams you start may contain broadcaster advertising. GOOD TO KNOW PedalArrow is independent and privately developed; it does not represent any authority or the organisers it names. The app is a non-binding planning and orientation aid: traffic rules, signs and conditions on the ground always take priority. Please do not use the app while riding.
