This page serves as the central privacy policy directory for all apps published by Tyler's Garage. Each app has its own dedicated policy below.
Core Privacy Principle
All Tyler's Garage apps are designed with local-first architecture. Your data stays on your device. No advertising SDKs. No data brokers. No tracking across apps or websites.

RideMate is designed with your privacy and safety on the road in mind. You can use core features like recording solo rides, designing custom Ride Cards, and generating animated Ride Reels without creating an account. We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties, we do not display third-party advertisements, and your private trip routes and photos are stored securely on your device and your personal iCloud. We use trusted, industry-standard service providers only where strictly necessary to deliver live group navigation, route calculation, and in-app subscriptions, as explained below.
Because RideMate is a route tracking and navigation app for riders, location access is central to the experience: • Foreground & Background GPS: RideMate requests location access to track your real-time route, speed, distance, elevation, and provide turn-by-turn guidance. When you are recording a ride or participating in an active Group Ride, the app uses background location so tracking continues seamlessly even when your phone is locked. • When You Are Not Riding: RideMate does not track your location in the background when no ride is actively being recorded or when you are not in an active group ride. • Solo Ride Privacy: The GPS coordinates, GPX files, and notes of your personal solo trips are stored locally on your device and in your personal iCloud. Our backend servers never receive, store, or analyze your personal solo ride routes.
Local Storage & CloudKit: Your recorded routes, ride statistics, photos taken during rides, and app preferences are stored locally on your device and automatically synced across your Apple devices using Apple’s CloudKit (iCloud). Zero Server Access to Private Routes: This backup and sync process is tied directly to your personal Apple ID under Apple’s terms. We do not have access to your private iCloud data or route history. You can manage or disable iCloud sync at any time in your device’s Apple ID settings.
• Sign in with Apple: You may choose to sign in using Sign in with Apple to connect with friends and sync your profile. We only collect the identifier and email address provided by Apple (which can be Apple’s private relay email), your display name, and an optional profile picture you choose to upload. • Public Stats & Friend Codes: To help friends connect, RideMate generates a 6-character Friend Code and displays your total ride count and cumulative distance on your profile. Your detailed private route maps are never made public. • Account Deletion: You can delete your RideMate account and all associated server data directly from the app’s Settings screen at any time.
When you choose to join or host a Group Ride: • Live Convoy Coordination: Your real-time location, speed, and heading are shared temporarily with other riders in that specific group room using our secure, trusted real-time cloud database provider. • Session-Based: Live location sharing only occurs while the group ride is active. Once the group ride ends or you leave the group, live location broadcasting terminates immediately and temporary room coordinates are purged.
To calculate turn-by-turn motorcycle and car routes, RideMate sends anonymous start and destination waypoints to an OpenStreetMap-based routing server. These routing requests contain no personal account identifiers, names, or device IDs.
• Camera: RideMate only accesses your camera when you explicitly tap the camera button to capture a photo moment during an active ride or from the arrival screen. • Photo Library: We access your photo library only when you select photos to add to your ride or when you choose to save exported Ride Cards and Ride Reels to your Photos app. We do not scan or upload your wider photo library.
RideMate offers optional premium features (RideMate Pro). All payments are processed securely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your credit card details, billing address, or financial information. We use an industry-standard third-party subscription validation service to verify anonymous purchase receipts from Apple and unlock Pro entitlements.
With your permission, we use Apple Push Notification service (APNs) to send you alerts for friend requests and group ride invitations. You can turn off notifications at any time in your iOS Settings.
• We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal data or location history. • We do not display third-party advertisements or ad-tracking SDKs. • We do not upload your personal solo GPS tracks or route lines to our backend. • We do not track your location when you are not actively recording a ride or in a group ride.
• Local & iCloud Data: Uninstalling the app removes locally cached files from your device. However, your recorded routes, photos, and generated reels remain safely stored in your private iCloud and will automatically restore if you reinstall the app. You can permanently delete individual rides within the app or manage your storage directly via iOS iCloud settings. • Account Deletion: When you tap "Delete Account" in Settings, your user profile, friend relationships, push tokens, and avatar are permanently removed from our backend servers. • Security: We use platform-standard encryption, HTTPS/TLS for all network traffic, and Apple’s native security frameworks (including Secure Keychain storage for authentication tokens).
Our App is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not require you to create an account, we do not sell your personal data, and your tracked items and preferences are stored securely on your device and your personal iCloud. We use limited, industry-standard service providers for analytics and in-app purchases as explained below.
Your tracked items, inventory priorities, search history, and app preferences are primarily stored locally on your device. We do not operate a remote server that receives, reads, or stores your personal in-app content. To provide a seamless experience across your devices, Item Checklist for Minecraft automatically syncs your app data through Apple's CloudKit (iCloud). This backup and sync process is securely tied to your personal Apple ID under Apple’s terms. We do not have access to your iCloud data. You can manage or disable iCloud sync directly through your device's Apple ID settings.
To help us understand how the App is used, track feature usage, and fix technical crashes, we use PostHog as our analytics provider. PostHog may process basic app interactions, device models, operating system versions, language, and random session identifiers. We do not send your name, email address, exact location, or the specific contents of your tracked Minecraft items to our analytics provider. PostHog processes this non-personally identifiable data on our behalf.
Item Checklist for Minecraft offers in-app purchases (e.g., consumable time packages for video analysis). All payments are processed entirely and securely by Apple (App Store). We never see, collect, or store your credit card information, name, or billing address. We only receive an anonymous receipt from Apple to verify your purchase and unlock the corresponding features in the App. You can manage your purchases in your Apple account settings.
• We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone. • We do not require you to create an Item Checklist for Minecraft account. • We do not request, track, or use your GPS/precise location. • We do not display third-party advertisements in the App.
Your local app data remains on your device until you delete the items within the App or uninstall the App entirely. Cloud backups remain according to your personal iCloud settings. We use platform-standard security and Apple’s native frameworks to ensure your data is as safe as possible, though no electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure.
