Visor
Last updated: 27 July 2026
Visor is a mobile app for motorcycle riders and drivers to discover roads, connect with other riders, ride together in real time, and compete on road leaderboards.
This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to the Visor mobile app and the services behind it. By using Visor, you agree to this policy.
Visor ("we", "us") is the operator of the Visor app. For any privacy question, reach us at support@visor-app.net. We act as the controller of the personal data described here.
Visor is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account or use the app. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected data from someone under 18, we will delete it. We ask for your date of birth to confirm eligibility.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account | Email address, sign-in method (email, Apple, or Google) |
| Profile | Username, avatar and cover photos, bio, date of birth, riding-since year, country, and optional links to your Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook profiles |
| Garage | Vehicle make, model, year, type and modifications; helmet and intercom gear; garage photos |
| Content you create | Roads you submit, reviews, posts, direct and group messages, chat photos and captions, poll responses |
| Rides and meetings | Planned routes (start, end, and waypoint coordinates), meeting names, venues and times, and your RSVPs |
| Moderation | Reports you file about content or users, and reports filed about you |
Location is central to Visor, so we want to be precise about how it is handled.
When you go live or ride with others, your device shares your current position so nearby riders and ride companions can see you on the map in real time. This live position is relayed to other riders and immediately discarded. It is never written to our database. There are no GPS-trail columns; the relay only re-broadcasts and does not save.
The one derived value we hold briefly is a coarse presence cell (roughly a 20 km area) with a short expiry, used only to help riders discover others nearby. It is never your exact position.
Some location data is stored because it is part of content you create:
Background location permission is used only to keep your live broadcast active while riding with the app in the background. It is subject to the same broadcast-only, never-stored rule above.
We use a small set of service providers to run Visor. They process data only to provide their service to us:
| Provider | Purpose | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, authentication, real-time delivery, and file storage | Your account, profile, and content data |
| Mapbox | Maps, place search, and route directions | Map tile requests, search text with your current coordinates for proximity, and route waypoints. No account identifier, email, or token is sent to Mapbox. |
| Expo push service | Delivering push notifications | Your push token and the notification content (sender name and type only; message text is not included) |
| Apple & Google | Sign-in with Apple / Google | Authentication tokens exchanged during sign-in |
| Resend | Sending authentication emails | Your email address and the message being sent |
| PostHog | Product analytics (feature and screen usage) | Pseudonymous usage events — screens viewed and features used. No message content and no exact location are sent. Data is hosted in the EU. |
Other people using Visor also see the parts of your data you make social: your public profile, roads and reviews you post, messages you send, and your live position while you are riding with them. We may disclose data if required by law or to protect the safety of users.
Photos you upload — avatars, cover images, garage and road photos — are stored with our storage provider. Before upload, images are re-encoded, which removes embedded metadata such as GPS coordinates.
Please note that avatar, cover, garage, and road photos are stored in public buckets: anyone who has the direct link to one of these images can view it, and the link contains your account identifier. Photos shared inside direct messages and group chats are restricted to the participants of that conversation.
If you use voice search, your spoken audio is processed by Apple's speech-recognition service to convert it to text. This audio may be sent to Apple's servers as part of that process. If you prefer not to use it, simply type your searches instead.
With your permission, we send push notifications for messages, ride activity, and nearby-rider alerts. To do this we store a push token for your device. Notification previews are kept privacy-conscious: message and chat notifications show the sender's name and type, not the message content, and no notification contains your location.
We keep your account and content data for as long as your account exists. Live location is never retained, as described above. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data from our active systems, except where we must keep limited records to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes. Some content you shared with others (such as messages already delivered) may remain visible to those recipients.
Access to data is enforced at the database level so that you can reach only the data you are permitted to. Privileged keys are never shipped in the app and are used only in trusted server functions. Stored files, credentials, and tokens are protected in our providers' systems. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and to limit what we collect in the first place.
We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
