Summary

• The app has no user account, advertising or analytics SDK.
• Scooter information and activity history are normally stored only on your device.
• Online location services are on by default. While they are enabled, locations and search terms are sent to the providers named below; you can turn them off in the app settings.
• Nothing is sent to us automatically as telemetry. We receive diagnostic information only if you choose to send a support email.

Information stored on your device

The app may store the following information in its private application storage:

• scooter names and Bluetooth identifiers;
• connection state, battery levels, firmware versions and supported features;
• saved destinations, recent scooter locations and resolved place names;
• local lock, unlock and seat-opening activity history, which may include the phone's location when location permission is granted;
• preferences such as language, theme, background connection, automatic unlock and biometric confirmation settings; and
• recent diagnostic logs, including a saved log file when you prepare a support email.

This information is used to connect to and control your scooter, display status and widgets, provide navigation and remember your choices. Bluetooth pairing secrets are managed by the operating system rather than uploaded to us.

Location

With your operating-system permission, the app may read your phone's precise location to remember where the scooter was last connected or controlled, attach a location to local activity history, find nearby service locations, and improve destination search. Older Android versions also require location permission for Bluetooth discovery.

You can deny or revoke location permission in system settings. Features that require a location will then be unavailable or less useful, while basic Bluetooth functionality remains available where the operating system permits it.

Online location and destination services

The Online location services option is on by default. While it is enabled, the app may send scooter or phone coordinates and destination searches to:

• OpenStreetMap Nominatim, to turn coordinates into addresses; and
• Komoot Photon, to search for destinations, bias results toward your location, or turn coordinates into place names.

These providers receive the request, your IP address and standard network information. Their handling is governed by the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy and the Komoot privacy policy. You can disable online location services at any time in the app settings.

If you share a map link with the app, it may contact the link-shortening service and linked map provider to resolve it, even when Online location services is off. Those services receive the requested URL, your IP address and standard network information. Looking up a shared place name or address with Photon requires Online location services to be enabled.

Other network requests

The app uses encrypted HTTPS connections where supported to download firmware information and updates from downloads.librescoot.org, and service-location data and app notices from GitHub Pages. These requests disclose your IP address and ordinary network information, and are governed by the GitHub General Privacy Statement.

Opening links such as the source repository, issue tracker, community chat or shop uses your browser or another installed app. Those services receive ordinary request information such as your IP address and are governed by their own privacy policies.

Providers may retain request information for operation, security and service improvement. GitHub also describes using IP addresses to infer regional location. This processing is distinct from developer-operated app telemetry.

Support and diagnostic emails

If you choose Report a problem, the app prepares a support email containing the device model, operating-system version, selected settings and an attached recent diagnostic log. Logs can contain scooter identifiers, status messages or location context. The email is shown in your email app so that you can review, edit or cancel it before sending. Your email provider also handles the message under its own privacy and security terms. We receive your sender email address and any information you include.

Support emails are used only to answer the request and diagnose the reported problem. They are retained only as long as reasonably needed for support and project maintenance. You may request deletion by emailing mail@rescoot.org.

Biometrics

If biometric confirmation is enabled, authentication is performed by Android or iOS. The app receives only whether authentication succeeded; it does not receive or store your fingerprint, face image or biometric template.

Sharing, sale and advertising

We do not sell personal information and do not use it for advertising or cross-app tracking. Information is shared only when needed for a feature you choose, as described above, or when required by law.

Retention and deletion

App data remains on your device until it is replaced or deleted. Forgetting a scooter removes its saved scooter record, but does not erase activity history or all separate caches. You can clear activity history from the activity screen. A saved diagnostic log remains until it is overwritten or local app data is erased. You can erase all app data using the operating system's clear-storage function or by uninstalling the app. Because the app has no online account, there is no separate cloud account to delete.

Security

Local data is protected by the operating system's application sandbox. Network requests use HTTPS where the provider supports it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so avoid sending diagnostic reports that contain information you do not want to share.

Children

The app is a vehicle-control utility intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18.

Changes and contact

Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Questions, access requests and deletion requests can be sent to mail@rescoot.org.
