Privacy Policy

Who we are

BKE CLUB is a community cycling app for riders in Kokomo, Indiana. In this policy, “we” and “us” mean BKE CLUB, and “the app” means BKE CLUB on the web and on iOS.

Information we collect

• Account details: your email address, and your name and account identifier when you sign in with Apple or Google.
• Profile details you add: display name, username, photo, bio, city, riding style, experience level, and bikes.
• Activity data: rides you record (distance, duration, speed, elevation, and GPS route), routes you create or save, goals, streaks, challenges, and badges.
• Content you post: photos, captions, comments, direct messages, and group chats.
• Preferences and device data needed to run the app: notification settings, quiet hours, and your push subscription so we can deliver alerts you asked for.
• Messages you send through the Support page, including the email address you give us so we can reply.

Location

We use your device's location only while you are recording a ride or viewing the map, so we can draw your route and show where you are. Your route is saved with the ride. We never sell location data, and we never show your live location to other members.

If you turn on activity status, other members can see roughly when you were last active in the app. Turning it off hides your status and also hides everyone else's from you.

How we use your information

• To run the app: show your profile, rides, routes, and goals, and keep your data in sync across devices.
• To power community features: the feed, group rides, events, leaderboards, and challenges you take part in.
• To send the notifications you choose in Settings.
• To answer support requests and fix problems.
• To keep the community safe: investigate abuse, spam, and violations of our Terms.

What other members can see

Your profile details, public posts, shared rides, and group memberships are visible to other members. Each post has its own visibility setting, and direct messages are visible only to the people in that conversation. Your email address is never shown to other members.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the services that make the app work:

• Our hosting and database provider, which stores app data on our behalf.
• Apple and Google, when you choose to sign in with them.
• Push notification and content services used to deliver alerts and search GIFs.
• Intervals.icu, only if you connect it yourself, so rides can sync to your account there. You can disconnect it at any time in Settings.
• Authorities, when the law requires it or when it is necessary to protect someone's safety.

Storage and security

Your data is stored on our provider's infrastructure with access controls that limit who can read it. No service is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password and keep it to yourself.

Your choices and deleting your data

You can edit your profile, control what you share, manage notifications, and turn activity status off at any time in the app. You can permanently delete your account from Settings → Delete Account. That removes your profile, rides, posts, and messages, and it cannot be undone.

If you need help with a request, email support@bkeclub.com from the address on your account.

Children

BKE CLUB is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

If we make a meaningful change, we will update the date at the top of this page and let you know in the app. Continuing to use BKE CLUB after a change means you accept the updated policy.
