EasyRoads privacy policy

Applies to the EasyRoads iPhone app, website and routing service · Updated 31 August 2026

EasyRoads has no user accounts, advertising, cross-app tracking or code that sells personal data. Location is used to plan or guide a route, not to build an activity history.

Data used to provide a route

Search: the words you search and a Great Britain bounding box are sent to the EasyRoads service and its Photon place-search provider. EasyRoads does not save search queries in its application database.
Planning: selected start, destination and up to two stops, their coordinates, vehicle name and measurements, and road preference are sent to the EasyRoads routing service.
Selected-route links: the validated planning request and selected route fingerprint are stored against an opaque signed token for about 30 minutes, then expire and are deleted. The link itself contains no places, vehicle details or route geometry.
Guidance: choosing Current location sends that coordinate once as the planning start. Ordinary guidance updates then stay on the iPhone; the current location is sent again only when you explicitly ask for replacement routes after leaving the selected line.

Website

The public website is a static product and policy page. It does not plan routes, request location access, create an account or store browser preferences.

Data stored on the device

The app stores the vehicle profile, road preference and active selected-route session so those choices survive relaunches. Stopping guidance clears the active session. The operating system may retain normal app and network caches.

Service logs

EasyRoads records sampled response outcomes and service timings to operate and diagnose the service. Worker invocation logs are disabled, so EasyRoads does not retain request URLs or search query strings in that log stream. The remaining logs are not joined to an EasyRoads account or advertising identity. Cloudflare controls their storage and documents a Workers Logs retention limit of up to seven days, depending on plan. The Photon service receives search queries and normal network metadata to answer them.

Providers

Cloudflare hosts the EasyRoads website, API and short-lived selected-route state.
Photon by komoot supplies place search.
OpenStreetMap contributors supply map and routing data; OpenFreeMap supplies map tiles.

Your choices

You can plan in the iPhone app without granting location access by searching for a start. EasyRoads asks for When In Use location access when you choose Current location or tap “Start guidance”. You can deny or revoke that permission in iOS Settings. You can clear the active route by stopping guidance and remove all locally stored EasyRoads data by deleting the app.

Questions

A public support contact will be added here and to the App Store listing before distribution. Because EasyRoads has no account identity, include only the minimum information needed to answer a request.
