YOUR RIDES. PedalArrow needs no account, uses no advertising ID and runs no analytics, advertising or tracking system of its own. The app only asks for your location when a feature needs it, such as navigation, recording, a nearby search or a group ride. Favourites and saved routes are encrypted in private app storage, excluded from backups and can be deleted in one place. Every online service is named in the privacy policy. German event texts are translated on your device; the translation software may send technical data to Google. If it fails for one of twelve fixed cycling terms, the PedalArrow server fetches just that word from DeepL. Radio streams you start come from the broadcaster and may contain its advertising. GOOD TO KNOW PedalArrow is independent and privately developed; it does not represent any authority or the organisers it names. The app is a non-binding planning and orientation aid: traffic rules, signs and conditions on the ground always take priority. Please do not use the app while riding.
