Roam collects what it needs to find you a road, record the run and show it to the riders you choose. We do not sell your data and we do not show ads.

LAST UPDATED 6 NOVEMBER 2026

What we
collect

And what each piece is for. Nothing here is collected from people who have not opened the app.

01 / ACCOUNT

Who you are

  • Email address SIGN-IN
  • Password, stored only as a hash SIGN-IN
  • Google account id and profile picture, if you sign in with Google SIGN-IN
  • The display name you choose PROFILE
02 / LOCATION

Where you drive

Precise location, only while the app is in use. We use it to show routes that start near you, and to trace the line you drive while you record a run.

While a run is recording, Roam keeps recording when you switch to a navigation app. A notification shows for as long as it does. Roam never asks for location access while it is closed.

Recorded runs, with their GPS track and times, are saved to your account. Only you can see them.

03 / WHAT YOU POST

Shared with riders

  • Routes, with their photos PUBLIC
  • Reviews PUBLIC
  • Meets you host PUBLIC
  • Crews and crew events MEMBERS

Photos are only read from your library when you pick them to add to a route. They are shrunk before upload.

04 / APP USAGE

How the app runs

Screens viewed, crashes, error logs and session recordings that help us fix bugs. Photos and what you type are blanked out in recordings. These records are linked to your account so that we can follow a bug report.

Who else
handles it

Services that run parts of Roam for us. Each one gets only what its job needs, and everything goes over an encrypted connection.
