Privacy Policy
Effective September 20, 2026
WayLine has no advertising account and does not sell, rent, or use your information for cross-app tracking.
Information you choose to use
WayLine can process a display name, trip title, precise location, route progress, device battery and link status, team messages, safety alerts, and—only after separate consent—heart-rate information. These features support coordination within the trip you join or create.
On-device storage
Trip setup, history, downloaded maps, replay data, settings, and permissions are primarily stored on your Apple devices. You control Health and Motion access through Apple system settings.
Optional online relay and Family Share
If you enable Online Sync or Family Share, WayLine sends the minimum trip data needed for team coordination to our Cloudflare-based relay over HTTPS. Team channels may include the latest member positions, display names, device status, messages, alerts, and optional heart-rate data shared with teammates. A Family Share link exposes a read-only snapshot to anyone who holds its random, revocable link.
Relay state expires no later than 24 hours after the latest relevant write or revocation. Family Share keeps only the latest snapshot. Team chat is capped to the newest 500 messages while the channel is active. Cloudflare may process network information such as an IP address to deliver, secure, rate-limit, and log the service.
Your controls
- Disable Online Sync or optional health sharing in Settings.
- Revoke a Family Share link or end the trip to stop access.
- Remove local app data by deleting trips or the app.
- Contact us to ask a privacy question.
Sharing and retention
We do not sell personal data. Trip data is shared only with the teammates or family-link viewers you choose, and with Apple and Cloudflare as needed to provide platform and relay services. We retain relay data only for the short periods described above.
Children and changes
WayLine is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy when the product or legal requirements change; the effective date above will be revised.
