Privacy
Short version: there are no accounts, we don't know who you are, and location data is deleted after 90 days.
There is no sign-in
This app has no accounts, no user table and no email addresses. Nothing stored here is tied to a name. The one identifier that does exist is your IP address: it is used to rate-limit abuse and it appears in server logs, which are kept for 30 days.
Trips are unlisted, not private
Planning a trip stores your start, destination, car, departure time and the settings you chose, under a long random link. Anyone with that link can see the trip, so treat it like a password: share it with the people coming with you, not publicly. Trip pages are excluded from search engines.
Following a drive stores where you were
If you start a drive, the phone doing the driving sends its position every 25 seconds while the tab is open. We keep a coarse trail — a point every five minutes or so — plus the battery readings you type in, so the app can tell you whether you're ahead or behind and show you afterwards how it went.That trail is a record of a journey you actually made. Anyone with the trip link can watch it live and read it afterwards.You can stop sharing your location at any point during a drive without ending it, and closing the tab stops it too.
How long it's kept
Drives and their location trails are deleted 90 days after they started — the app runs that deletion itself, once a day. Planned trips are kept indefinitely so old links keep working. A planned trip has no location trail, but it does hold the start and destination you typed, their coordinates, and the route between them.
Who else sees it
Your start and destination are sent to OpenRouteService to get a route and to OpenChargeMap to find chargers along it, both third-party services with their own terms. The app is hosted on Microsoft Azure, so Azure necessarily handles the traffic. There is no analytics, no advertising, no trackers, and the page loads no third-party scripts.One thing to know about sharing: pasting a trip link into WhatsApp, Slack or LinkedIn makes that platform fetch the page to build a preview, and the preview names your start and destination.Per-stop navigation links point at Google Maps, and only open if you tap one.
Getting something removed
Every trip page has a delete button. It removes the trip, any drives on it and their location trails, immediately and for good — that is the whole record, because a trip is all we have. It works for anyone holding the link, since the link is the only key that exists, so treat it the same way you would treat the trip itself.
If you send feedback
The feedback box stores what you wrote, and the email address you type in only if you choose to add one. It goes to this app's own database rather than a form somewhere else, and nothing else is attached to it: no name, no location, no record of which trips were yours. What you write is also forwarded to a private Discord channel so it actually gets read, and if you add an email address it goes there too, so a reply is easy. If you would rather not have your address in a chat channel, leave that field empty — the feedback is just as welcome without it.
Who runs this
A personal project, run by an individual in the Netherlands, not a company. If something here looks wrong, the source is public and issues are welcome. If you are in the EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority — in the Netherlands that is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
