Privacy
Badia is an app for off-road clubs. We keep what a club needs to run its drives, and nothing to sell. No ads, no tracking, no analytics SDKs.
What we keep
- Your account: email and name. If you add them: phone, photo, emirate and your vehicles.
- Your clubs: memberships, role and level, the drives you sign up for, check-ins, whether you showed up, and if you pulled out, when and why. Your club's marshals and admins see this, and can keep notes about members on a drive.
- What you post: announcements, convoy messages, drive details, and photos you upload such as a club logo or a drive cover.
- Alerts: your inbox of drive alerts, and a push token for your phone so we can send them. Reminders before a drive are scheduled on your phone.
- Reports and blocks: if you report something, the club's admins and we see the report. Who you block is only visible to you.
Location
- Your position is used on your phone to draw the map, record tracks and point you to places.
- Tracks you record and waypoints you save stay on your phone.
- During a live drive, your latest position and battery level are shared with the people on that drive. It's removed when you leave the convoy or the drive ends.
- We ask for "Always" location only when you start recording a drive, so the track keeps going with the screen locked. You can stop recording any time.
Who runs it
Our database runs on our own server in Germany (Hetzner). Cloudflare carries traffic. Resend sends our emails. Apple delivers push notifications. Apple and Google handle their own sign-ins; we receive only the email and name they share, never your password. Map tiles come from Esri, OpenTopoMap and Carto, which see the map area your phone requests. Each gets only what it needs to do that job.
Your control
- Edit your profile in the app any time.
- Delete your account in the app: tap your avatar on Home → Delete my account. Your profile, memberships, sign-ups, vehicles and alerts are deleted immediately. Drives and announcements you posted stay with the club, without your name.
- For a copy of your data, email shammyali@logostech.ae from the address on your account. We'll send it within 30 days.
Changes
If this changes in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
