Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

BikeTalk ("the App") is developed by Digital Gemba, LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.

No Data Collected

BikeTalk collects no data whatsoever. There are no accounts, no servers, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and no tracking. We have no way to access your information or your audio. This matches our App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected.

How Audio Works

When you toggle your mic on, your voice is transmitted directly to nearby devices using Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework — the same peer-to-peer technology behind AirDrop. Audio travels between devices over Bluetooth and local Wi-Fi. It never touches the internet, never passes through any server, and is never recorded, stored, or uploaded — by us or anyone else. When you toggle your mic off, the audio stops. Nothing is saved.

Information Stored on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your iPhone:

• Handle: The name other riders see in the app. You choose it on first launch and can change it any time.
• Preferences: Settings such as "keep screen on" and whether you've completed onboarding.

This data is stored using iOS UserDefaults and never leaves your device.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to:

• Audio recordings or voice data
• Personal information such as your name, email, or contacts
• Location data
• Analytics or usage data
• Device identifiers
• Crash reports
• Any data whatsoever

No Accounts Required

BikeTalk does not require any account creation, login, or registration. There are no usernames, passwords, or email addresses involved.

No Third-Party Services or SDKs

The App contains zero third-party SDKs. No analytics (no Firebase, no Crashlytics, no Mixpanel), no advertising frameworks, no tracking pixels, no cloud services. The only network communication is the peer-to-peer connection between nearby devices via Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework.

Permissions Explained

BikeTalk requests three iOS permissions, each essential for the app to function:

• Microphone: To capture your voice when you toggle on. Audio is only captured while your mic is live and is transmitted directly to nearby peers — never recorded or stored.
• Local Network: To discover other riders nearby using Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework. This is a peer-to-peer connection between devices on the same local network.
• Bluetooth: To connect to nearby riders when Wi-Fi isn't available, and to route audio through your Bluetooth headphones.

Data Deletion

All data is stored locally on your device. Deleting the app removes all data permanently.

Children's Privacy

The App does not collect any information from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
