MotoScreenPrivacy policy
Last updated 18 October 2026
In short: MotoScreen has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Most things stay on your phone. What leaves it is only what's needed to show the map, weather, speed limits and music, and we don't keep it. We have no server of our own.
Who is responsible
MotoScreen is made by Måns Regren. Privacy questions: mansregren@gmail.com.
Your location
MotoScreen uses your location on your phone for the map, your speed, guidance, the trip computer, weather and speed limits. While guidance or the trip computer is running, it keeps using your location with the screen off or another app in front, so the ride and the warnings keep working. You'll see a blue indicator in the status bar.
Your location is sent to these services so they can answer, and to no one else:
| Service | What is sent | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (Maps) | Location, search terms and destination | Map, search, routes and travel time |
| Open-Meteo | Approximate location (rounded to about 100 metres) | Weather, rain and wind |
| FOSSGIS (Valhalla, OpenStreetMap) | Your route, or the last few hundred metres you've ridden | The speed limit of the road you're on |
Music
- Apple Music: with your permission, MotoScreen reads which song is playing in the Music app. It stays on your phone.
- Last.fm: if you enter your Last.fm name, MotoScreen fetches the song you're playing from Last.fm. Your name is sent to Last.fm.
- Cover art: to show album covers, artist and song title are sent to Apple's iTunes search.
- Spotify: only if you turn on direct control yourself. You then log in with Spotify, and the login is stored encrypted in the iOS keychain.
Contacts and calls
Favourites you pick (name and number) are stored only on your phone. MotoScreen can't see who is calling; calls are handled by iOS.
Motion sensors
The lean angle is worked out from your phone's motion sensors, on the phone. Nothing is sent.
What's stored on your phone
Your settings, your home, your favourites, the trip computer and the tank range. Deleting the app removes it all.
What we don't do
- No accounts and no sign-in with us.
- No ads, no analytics and no tracking across apps.
- We don't sell or share any data.
Children
MotoScreen is not directed at children under 13.
