Discover meets near you, join live convoys,
and build your identity around your car.
Gravel ("we", "us", "our") is a car meet and social app. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it. We keep things simple: we only collect what we need to run the app.
Here is every category of data Gravel collects and why.
| Data | Why we collect it |
|---|---|
| Email address | Account creation, login, and password recovery. |
| Password | Authentication. Passwords are hashed by Supabase and never stored in plaintext. We never see your password. |
| Username & display name | Identifies you on your profile, posts, and meets. |
| Bio & profile photo | Optional. Shown on your public profile. |
| Vehicle info (year, make, model, photo) | Optional. Shown on your profile so others know what you drive. |
| Location (latitude & longitude) | Used to show meets near you, power the local chat channel, and the live convoy map. Location is only used while you are actively using features that require it. |
| Posts, photos, and replies | Content you choose to share on the feed or at a meet. |
| Meet details (title, location, time, cover photo) | Events you create or RSVP to. Location coordinates are stored so other users can discover nearby meets. |
| Chat messages | Global and local channel messages, and direct messages between users. Local channel messages include your location at the time of sending. |
| Social activity (likes, follows, shares, RSVPs) | Powers feed ranking, notifications, and your activity stats. |
| Notification preferences | Controls which push notifications you receive per follow and app-wide. |
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.
We use Supabase as our database and file storage provider. Your data is stored on Supabase's infrastructure. Their privacy policy is at supabase.com/privacy.
We do not share your data with any other third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.
Content you post publicly (posts, meets, profile) is visible to other Gravel users.
Location is only accessed when you use a feature that needs it:
You can revoke location permission at any time in your device's system settings.
Gravel is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy as the app evolves. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email.
