Privacy

Privacy policy

Updated October 24, 2026. This policy explains what data Fochanka uses, why it is used, and how you can exercise your rights.

How to delete your account ↓

Account and access

Sign-in uses an account identifier and data returned by Apple or Google, such as a name and email, including an Apple private relay address. We do not receive your provider password. Without the data needed to authenticate you, account features are unavailable.

Location and measurement

Measurements use location, speed, timestamps and motion and orientation data to record journeys, calculate results and diagnose faults. Measurement with the screen off uses background location. You can stop it and revoke iOS permissions; features that need them will become unavailable.

Measurements, archive, and profile

Measurements and vehicle and phone-placement settings are stored on the iPhone and in your private account archive. Rankings may display your alias, icon, public identifier, country, region, city and progress metrics such as kilometres, points and achievements. Your sign-in name and email and detailed journeys are not published in rankings.

Alias reports

Reports and moderation actions are recorded with the aliases and identifiers of the accounts involved and the information needed to resolve them. Support may receive this data by private email. The reporting person's identity is not disclosed to the reported user.

The public coverage map

Measurements are also processed to produce aggregated road information. Account-linked records remain private. Only results that cannot identify you or reconstruct your journey will be published; removing a name or alias alone does not anonymise a journey.

Purposes and legal basis

Accounts, measurements, the archive and progress are processed to provide requested features (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). Security, moderation, fault diagnosis and aggregated road information rely on the legitimate interest of maintaining and improving the service, provided your rights do not override it (6(1)(f)). We also meet legal obligations (6(1)(c)). Where consent is required, it will be requested separately.

Providers

Supabase provides authentication and data hosting in Frankfurt (EU). Apple and Google handle sign-in; Apple MapKit and TomTom provide mapping and journey matching and may receive locations for these purposes. Open-Meteo receives coordinates and connection data for weather queries. IONOS hosts the website and email; Resend sends private report notifications to support. TomTom and Open-Meteo queries do not include your alias or email.

International transfers

Main hosting is in the EU, but some providers or subprocessors may process data outside the European Economic Area. Transfers must have an adequacy decision or other legal safeguards, such as the standard contractual clauses in Supabase's and Resend's agreements. See supabase.com/legal/dpa and resend.com/legal/dpa or request information and a copy of safeguards at privacy@fochanka.com.

Website and support enquiries

The website does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Hosting processes IP addresses and technical access data to serve and protect pages, based on legitimate interests. If you contact support, your email and message are used to answer your enquiry. Do not send passwords or access codes. Access to the protected map uses a technical session cookie (__Host-fochanka_map) to remember that you have entered the password. It is not used for advertising or tracking and expires when the browser session ends, with a maximum of seven days.

Retention

Account, profile and measurement data is kept while the account is active and needed for requested features. Support, moderation and security records are kept as needed for the enquiry or incident and applicable legal responsibilities. Account deletion removes its data from active systems; backups are deleted according to their cycles. Only genuinely anonymous results may remain without account links.

No advertising or tracking

This version is free, with no advertising or in-app purchases. We do not sell personal data or use it to track you across apps or websites.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability where applicable, and withdraw consent without affecting prior lawful processing. Write to privacy@fochanka.com. We will only request what is needed to verify identity. We will respond within one month; legally permitted extensions will be notified within that period. You may complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es) or your local authority.

Controller

Data controller: Adrián Rama. Privacy contact: privacy@fochanka.com.
