BikeWind Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

General information

BikeWind respects user privacy and limits data processing to the minimum necessary for the app and website to work.

The app does not require an account or login. BikeWind does not collect a name, email address or other data identifying the user.

BikeWind does not profile users and does not use data for advertising.

Controller

The controller of data related to the BikeWind website and app is the BikeWind project owner.

Privacy matters can be sent through the contact form available on the BikeWind website.

Data processed

To provide the service, BikeWind may process technical information: anonymous app installation identifier, app version, information about Strava connection, and country and city determined from the IP address.

This data is used only to maintain the service, diagnose technical issues and develop the app.

Use of location

The app may use device location to show weather, wind and route planning features.

When using the route generator, location and details needed to calculate the route are sent to the route-generation service.

Location sent to the route generator may be recorded in diagnostic logs to maintain service reliability and diagnose technical issues. It is not used for marketing or user profiling.

Location access can be disabled by the user in the device system settings.

Routes and activities

Imported GPX and FIT files, saved routes and activity data are stored locally on the user's device.

BikeWind does not store this data on its servers.

Strava integration

Connecting the app with Strava is optional.

If the user connects the app with their Strava account, BikeWind gets access only to data necessary for the import feature.

The connection can be disconnected at any time in the app or through Strava account settings.

External services

Open-Meteo

The app uses Open-Meteo to retrieve weather and wind data.

Weather requests are sent directly from the user's device to Open-Meteo servers, without going through BikeWind servers.

Strava

When using Strava integration, data processing is also subject to Strava's privacy policy:

User rights

In cases provided by applicable law, the user may request access to their data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or object to processing.

Requests can be submitted through the contact form available on the BikeWind website.

Privacy policy changes
