Your privacy on MindaRide.

This policy explains what information MindaRide collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Effective July 28, 2026.

Who operates MindaRide

MindaRide is an independent, individually-operated trip-planning service based in Davao City, Philippines. It is not a registered company. For any privacy question or request, contact officialmindaride@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Account information

If you sign in with Google, MindaRide receives your email address, name, and profile photo from Google through Supabase Auth, the authentication service MindaRide uses. MindaRide does not receive or store your Google password.

App activity

MindaRide stores the routes and trips you save, and any route requests or fare or schedule contributions you submit through the Requests page, so they can be reviewed and linked to your account.

MindaRide AI messages

Messages you send to the in-app MindaRide AI assistant are sent to third-party AI providers (including Google Gemini and other providers used as fallbacks) to generate a response. Do not share sensitive personal information in AI chat messages.

Analytics

MindaRide uses Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, including pages visited, approximate location derived from IP address, and device and browser information.

Advertising

MindaRide displays ads through Google AdSense, which may set cookies to show relevant ads and measure ad performance. Controls to manage your ad and cookie preferences are being added to the site.

How we use information

Information is used to operate and improve MindaRide: to plan and display trips, save your routes, respond to community submissions, provide the AI assistant, understand usage patterns, and show ads that help keep MindaRide free to use.

Third-party services

MindaRide relies on the following third-party services, each with its own privacy practices:

  • Supabase - account authentication and app data storage.
  • Google Analytics - usage analytics.
  • Google AdSense - advertising.
  • AI providers (including Google Gemini) - processing MindaRide AI assistant messages.

Data sharing and sale

MindaRide does not sell your personal information. Information is shared only with the third-party services listed above, as needed to operate MindaRide, or when required by law.

Data retention

Account and app data is retained while your account remains active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing officialmindaride@gmail.com.

Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing officialmindaride@gmail.com. MindaRide does not currently offer self-service account deletion, so requests are handled manually.
