Privacy Policy
Last updated 9 October 2026
Wrench & Roam is a small, independent app for riders in New Zealand and Australia. This page explains what we keep about you, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: we keep what you put in so the app works, we don't sell it, and there are no ads or tracking.
What We Keep
- Your account: email address, password (stored scrambled, so nobody can read it) and the name you give us.
- Your profile: username, home area, riding since and about you, if you fill them in.
- Your garage: bikes, photos, odometer and hour readings, rego and WOF dates, maintenance tasks, service history and specs.
- Your rides and routes: GPS tracks, times, distances and speeds from rides you record or import (you can turn speeds off in Settings → Privacy), and the routes you save.
- Planned rides: the details, who's invited and everyone's answers.
- Notifications, and the phones or computers you've turned on notifications for.
On Your Phone
A ride being recorded is saved on your phone as you go, so it isn't lost if the app closes. Your appearance, map and navigation choices are saved on each device too. We use cookies only to keep you logged in and remember those choices, not to track you.
Who Can See It
Only you, unless you share it. People on a planned ride with you see your name, username, your answer and the ride's route. Rides, routes and bikes each have a Visible To setting, ready for when friends and public profiles are added; we'll never show more than you've chosen.
Services We Use
We use a few trusted services to run the app. They handle data only to provide their service to us:
- Supabase stores your account and data (in Sydney, Australia).
- Vercel runs the app's website.
- Resend sends our emails (confirm your email, reset your password).
- OpenStreetMap supplies the maps; your phone loads map pictures straight from it. Place searches (Photon, by komoot) and road directions (the free OpenStreetMap routing server run by FOSSGIS) get the place or map points you search for or route, from our server, without your name or email.
- Your phone's maker (Apple, Google or your browser) delivers notifications if you turn them on.
Your Choices
- See and change your details any time in the app, and delete bikes, photos, rides and routes.
- Turn notifications on or off in Settings → Notifications.
- Delete your account and everything in it (photos included) any time in Settings → Profile → Delete Account. It's permanent: nothing is kept afterwards.
- To get a copy of your data, email us at hello@wrenchroam.app.
Questions or Concerns
Email hello@wrenchroam.app. If you're in New Zealand and not happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz). If this page changes in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app.
