Outdoor Planner – Privacy Policy

Outdoor Planner (“the app”) plans and records cycling, jogging and walking routes. It works online or offline and keeps your activity data on your device. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no cloud sync.

Location

The app uses your device’s GPS to show your position, plan routes that start where you are, and record activities you start. To plan a route online, the app sends your start point and the route’s waypoints to OpenStreetMap-based routing servers (routing.openstreetmap.de and router.project-osrm.org), and your position to nominatim.openstreetmap.org to find your city. These requests are not linked to any account and are not stored by us. Your location history and recorded tracks are never sent.

While you record an activity, the app keeps using GPS with the screen off. A notification is always shown during recording, so you know when tracking is on. The app does not access your location in the background otherwise.

Activity data

Recorded tracks, distances, times and statistics are stored only in the app’s private storage on your device. You can delete any activity in the app. Uninstalling the app deletes all of its data.

Online services and map downloads

The app contacts these OpenStreetMap-based services to show maps, plan routes and download offline maps:

• tile.openstreetmap.org: supplies online map images for the area on screen
• routing.openstreetmap.de and router.project-osrm.org: receive the start point and waypoints of a route to plan
• nominatim.openstreetmap.org: receives the city you typed, or your position to find your city
• overpass-api.de: receives the map area to download roads for
• download.mapsforge.org: supplies offline map files

Like any website, these services see your IP address when the app connects to them, and they handle it under their own privacy policies. The app never sends your location history or recorded activities to them.

Data we collect

We do not collect, store or sell any personal data. Location is shared with the routing and search services above only to plan routes, as described. All network connections use HTTPS.
