Rally Point — Privacy
Last updated 11 August 2026 · applies to the private test build
Rally Point helps a group agree where to meet and when to leave. It is built so that the sensitive thing — where you live — cannot leak, because for the most part there is nowhere in it to put that at full precision.
What is stored
Your account. An email address and a display name. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive whatever that provider passes on — with Apple's “Hide My Email” that is a relay address, and the app works normally with it.
Your profile. A callsign, an optional avatar, and a coarse home region — a town and state, never a street address. Anybody sharing an event with you can read this, which is exactly why it is coarsened before it is written rather than only when it is shown.
Your saved home, if you set one. Precise coordinates, so the app can pre-fill your drive time without you typing an address every time. Only you can read it. It is deliberately kept in a separate table from your profile for that reason, it is never shown to anyone else, and it is never drawn on a map.
Events and convoys you take part in. Names, locations, times, the stops an organizer publishes, who is going, seats offered and needed, and any notes you add. Visible to the other people in that event. Locations an organizer publishes are precise — that is their purpose.
Your travel figures. A drive time in minutes, a distance rounded to whole miles, and the name of the town you set off from. The other people in your convoy see these three things. They are all that is kept.
Your garage, if you use it. Vehicles, service records, costs and receipt photos. Private to you.
Your agreements. Which documents you accepted and when. Append-only, so the record cannot be quietly revised.
What is not stored
Where you actually are, or set off from. When you work out a drive time, the coordinates you gave are sent to the routing provider, the answer comes back, and the coordinates are discarded. They are not written to the database and not put in a log. There is no column that could hold them.
Any trail of your movements. Live ETA, if you switch it on, runs only while the app is open and on screen, and each update replaces the last. Closing the app stops it. Nothing accumulates.
The shape of your journey. The app can draw the route a convoy published, because both ends of it are already shared with everybody in the event. It never requests, receives or draws the route from your starting point, because that line begins at your house.
What leaves the app, and to whom
- Supabase — hosts the database, sign-in and receipt photos. Everything above lives there.
- Google Maps Platform — receives pairs of coordinates to answer “how long is this drive” and “what is near here”. These requests are made by our server, not your phone, and carry no account identifier. Google does not receive your name or email.
- Photon (Komoot) — receives a coordinate to return a town name.
- Apple and Google sign-in — only if you choose those buttons.
There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party SDK collecting anything. Nothing about you is sold or shared for marketing, and nothing is used to build a profile of you across other apps or websites.
Your choices
- Skip the saved home and type a starting point each time, or don't work out an ETA at all — the rest of the app works without it.
- Clear your ETA whenever you like; it is a claim you made and can withdraw.
- Leave a convoy or an event, which removes your figures from it.
- Ask for your account and everything in it to be deleted. In the test build, ask the person who invited you and it will be done by hand.
Permissions the app asks for
Each is requested at the moment it is used, never on first launch, and each can be declined without breaking the rest of the app.
| Permission | Asked when | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Location | You tap “Use where I am now” | One reading, to work out a drive time. Discarded after. |
| Calendar | You tap “Show my calendar” | Read-only, so you can pick an event you already saved. Never written to. |
| Camera | You photograph a receipt | The photo, stored privately to you. |
| Photo library | You attach an existing receipt | The photo, stored privately to you. |
This is a test build
It may break, lose data, or be reset. Keep a note elsewhere of anything you would be sorry to lose.
