At Rider Diaries, we value your privacy and transparency. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies within the Rider Diaries mobile application (“App”) to enhance your experience and ensure the proper functioning of our services.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you access a website or mobile application. While the Rider Diaries App is not a traditional web app, we may use similar technologies—such as local storage or app analytics SDKs—to collect certain information automatically.
2. How We Use Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use tracking technologies in the following ways:
-
Essential App Functionality
These are necessary to ensure the core features of the app work properly, such as login sessions, form data storage, or secure access to rider profiles. -
Analytics & Performance
We use analytics tools (like Firebase or Google Analytics for Firebase) to track how the app is used. This helps us improve features, troubleshoot issues, and understand user preferences. Data collected includes device type, operating system, app version, and usage patterns. -
Personalization
We may store preferences (like dark mode, language settings, or rider type filters) to provide a more customized experience each time you use the app.
3. Third-Party SDKs and Services
Some third-party SDKs (Software Development Kits) used in our app may use cookies or similar tracking to operate, including:
-
Firebase (Google) – for crash reporting, analytics, and push notifications.
-
Google Maps SDK – for location-related features (e.g., mapping riders or clubs).
-
OneSignal or similar – for push notification delivery.
Each third party may set and manage their own cookies in line with their privacy policies.
4. Your Choices
You can manage your cookie and tracking preferences by:
-
Adjusting App Permissions: In your device settings, you can revoke location access or restrict background data usage.
-
Disabling Analytics: Some analytics tools allow opt-out within the app or device settings.
-
Uninstalling the App: If you do not agree with the use of tracking technologies, you may remove the app from your device at any time.
Please note: Disabling certain functionalities may affect how the app works.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as needed to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our data practices. The updated policy will be published within the app and/or on our official website.
