Bykrs Mobile App (App)

The Bykrs app is a social ride-tracking app for motorcyclists. When you create an account and use the app, we collect the following:

Data TypeWhen CollectedPurpose

Profile info — display name, bio, country, motorcycle details, and any profile/bike photos you addYou add or edit themShow your rider profile to the community

Photos you choose from your libraryWhen you set a profile/bike photo or create a postDisplay your photos in your profile and posts
Content you create — rides, posts, captions, comments, likes, followsAs you use the appPower the social feed and your profile

Location: Bykrs only accesses your location while you are recording or broadcasting a ride, and you can stop ride tracking at any time. Background location is used solely to keep recording your route when the screen is off — it is never used for advertising. You can revoke location access at any time in your device settings.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your rides, location, or photos for advertising.


Deleting Your Account and Data (App)

You can permanently delete your Bykrs account and all associated data at any time, directly from the app:

  1. Open the Profile tab.
  2. Tap the menu (top-right), then Delete Account.
  3. Confirm. Your account is deleted immediately.

Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, rides, routes, posts, photos, comments, likes, follows, and stats from our systems. This action cannot be undone. Backups containing this data are purged on a rolling basis within 30 days. If you are unable to access the app, you can also request deletion by emailing privacy@bykrs.app from your registered email address.
