This Privacy Policy explains how Bykrs ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at bykrs.app / bykrs.in (the "Website") and when you use the Bykrs mobile application (the "App").
Sections below marked "(App)" describe data practices specific to the mobile app. If you only need the highlights, jump to Bykrs Mobile App and Deleting Your Account.

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 Type | When Collected | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account info — email, username, password (hashed), and an optional phone number | Registration & sign in | Create and secure your account; let you sign in |
| Profile info — display name, bio, country, motorcycle details, and any profile/bike photos you add | You add or edit them | Show your rider profile to the community |
| Precise location (GPS), including in the background while a ride is being recorded | Only while you actively track or broadcast a ride | Record your route, distance, and speed; show your live position to riders you choose during group/live rides |
| Photos you choose from your library | When you set a profile/bike photo or create a post | Display your photos in your profile and posts |
| Content you create — rides, posts, captions, comments, likes, follows | As you use the app | Power 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:
- Open the Profile tab.
- Tap the menu (top-right), then Delete Account.
- 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.
