Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 16, 2026

1. Introduction

RoutePOV (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our GPX route visualization service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 GPX Files

When you upload a GPX file, we temporarily process its coordinate data to render your route on the map. GPX files are processed server-side for parsing and are not stored, shared, or retained after your session ends.

2.2 Usage Data

We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views, feature interactions, and error reports to improve the service. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

2.3 Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain session state and service functionality. Optional analytics cookies may be set with your consent. See our Cookie Policy for details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely to:

  • Parse and render your GPX route on the map
  • Improve service performance and reliability
  • Diagnose and fix technical issues

4. Data Storage and Retention

GPX file data is processed in memory and discarded immediately after rendering. We do not maintain databases of uploaded routes, coordinates, or user files. Anonymous analytics data may be retained for up to 26 months.

5. Third-Party Services

Our service integrates with:

  • MapLibre GL — open-source map rendering (no data collection)
  • OpenStreetMap / ArcGIS — tile and imagery providers (subject to their respective privacy policies)
  • Vercel — hosting platform (see Vercel’s privacy policy)

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we do not store user accounts or uploaded files, no action is needed to exercise these rights regarding GPX data.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
