Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the website groad.app and to all apps by groad.app.
1. Local processing
App data such as kitchen timers, favorites, custom cooking items, game progress, highscores, profiles, layouts, learning progress, project files, analysis results, or groconvert conversions is generally processed and stored locally on your device. We do not transmit window contents, filenames, photos, documents, media, or other personal content to our servers.
2. No own usage analytics
groad.app does not run its own advertising or tracking infrastructure inside the apps. Store platforms such as Microsoft, Apple, or Google may process technical data under their own terms, for example for downloads and in-app purchases.
3. This website
groad.app is hosted by IONOS SE. When you visit, the server processes technically necessary data (IP address, time, requested page, browser) in server log files. Fonts are served by groad.app itself; no third-party content is loaded, no tracking cookies are set, and no analytics tools are used. Your color-scheme choice is stored locally in your browser only.
4. Support requests
If you use the support form or contact us by email, we process the information you provide only to handle your request. Form submissions are delivered to us by email.
growarranty: purchases and receipts
growarranty stores items, purchase details, categories, receipts and reminder settings locally on your device. Camera and file access are used for receipt imports you initiate; local reminders require your permission.
If you select a household folder, the app writes backups to that folder. A cloud file provider you choose may transfer and store those files under its own terms. PDF dossiers, ZIP backups and shared files leave the app through the export and sharing destinations you select. Purchase and license checks use the respective app store.
grocraftnotes: customers and site survey data
grocraftnotes stores customer and contact details, jobs, rooms, components, measurements, answers, notes, photos, original attachments, templates and business information that you enter locally. Camera and file access support captures or imports you initiate. The app does not include its own analytics or advertising.
If you choose shared storage, the app places the required data and media in that folder. A file or cloud provider you choose may store and transfer them under its terms. The app displays sync status and conflicts. Local reset, disconnecting storage and deleting shared content are separate actions. Exported PDFs, ZIP files and templates leave through destinations you select. Purchases are checked through the respective store; purchase entitlements and device-specific settings are not synchronized as a shared license.
grocatch & slide
grocatch & slide stores settings, daily attempts and records locally in the app. Optional tilt steering processes motion data during an active ride; it does not store it or send it to groad. The app contains no advertising or analytics services. Purchases, restoration and optional store reviews are handled by the respective store. Device backups follow your system settings. Information submitted through the support form is handled as described in the general notices on this page.
gronotes: notes, shared storage and purchases
gronotes (app.groad.gronotes) stores notes, tasks, ideas, code snippets and settings locally on your device. There is no gronotes account or advertising. groad does not operate its own analytics or tracking infrastructure. Note content is not sent to groad.
If you select shared storage, that folder contains content, revisions and shared settings. Any transfer is handled by the cloud, file or NAS provider you choose, under its own terms. Folder permissions and device paths remain specific to each device and are not shared with other devices.
Exports and storage packages are plain text without additional encryption by gronotes. Earlier versions and deletion markers are retained to resolve conflicts. Deleting an entry does not automatically remove its history, backups or copies held by a provider.
The relevant store (Apple/StoreKit, Google Play or Microsoft) processes purchases and payments. gronotes receives no card or bank details. On Android, the app receives purchase receipts and entitlements from Google Play, checks them on the device and encrypts the cached receipt with an Android Keystore key outside backups. Entitlements are not included in note exports or shared folders.
Support does not automatically receive notes, exports, receipts or credentials. An initial request only needs the app version, operating system, device type and steps to reproduce the issue. The general website and support information on this page continues to apply. Contact gronotes support
iOS / macOS: If you set up a direct Nextcloud / HTTPS-WebDAV connection, gronotes sends notes, revisions and shared settings via HTTPS/WebDAV to the server you specify. The folder address, username and app password remain in the device-bound Apple keychain and are not included in note exports, backups or shared workspace packets. Nothing is sent to groad.
The iOS version offers optional direct connections to OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. After signing in with the provider, content and attachments sync directly with the selected folder. Google Drive requires account-wide Drive access to see files from other devices; gronotes operates in the selected folder. OneDrive and Dropbox use an app folder. Sign-in tokens stay in the device-bound keychain, outside exports and shared data. Disconnecting removes the local sign-in, not cloud files. You can also revoke access with the provider. groad does not receive this data. The selected provider's terms apply.
Android 1.2.0 offers direct connections to Nextcloud, HTTPS-WebDAV, OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox alongside the system file picker. When connected, content and attachments go directly to your provider, not to groad. App passwords and sign-in tokens are encrypted using Android Keystore and stored outside backups and exports. Google Drive requires account-wide access; gronotes works in the selected folder. OneDrive and Dropbox use an app folder. Disconnecting removes the local sign-in, not cloud files. Your provider's terms apply.
Local data remains stored until you remove it. On Android, you can clear the app's data in system settings to remove it completely from the app. Shared folders, exports, backups and copies on other devices must be removed separately; provider retention and trash follow the provider's rules. groad cannot delete these locations for you.
For children and parents: Local use needs no sign-in. gronotes has no public feed or chat. Please set up shared storage and purchases with a parent or trusted adult. Do not share private details without their help. Use the contact below for privacy questions.
Android 1.2.0 — Recipe from image: ML Kit may send technical usage and diagnostic data to Google. Your images and recognized text are not sent. Google ML Kit — Privacy.
Linux · Purchase and license
For Linux purchases, a Cloudflare Worker checks payment with Stripe and issues a signed license. It receives the purchase reference and a device identifier derived only for gronotes, not the original system identifier or notes. After activation, the license is verified locally without recurring online checks.
Cloudflare also processes the IP address and technical connection data when connecting. Stripe processes the payment and contact details entered at checkout.
gromazeexplorer
Progress, times and settings stay on your device. No accounts, advertising or analytics. An optional rating uses Apple's native dialog. Backups follow your system settings.
groquest
This information covers groquest on iOS and macOS. Progress, unlocked gardens, daily unlocks, personal records, equipped tools and settings are stored locally. groquest does not send these data to us or provide its own cloud sync. Operating-system backups depend on your device settings.
You do not need a groquest account to play. The app has no advertising, tracking, its own usage analytics or chat. It does not access contacts, location, the camera or microphone.
The optional one-time purchase groquest Pro and purchase restoration use Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the purchase; the app verifies Apple's signed entitlement on the device and reads the product, price, currency and Store region. Payment details and Apple account details are not sent to us. There is no developer-operated purchase server.
To limit native rating requests, the app stores the first-use time, completed-room count and whether a request has already been attempted locally. This marker prevents repeated automatic requests. Apple decides whether to show the dialog; the app does not learn whether you submitted a rating.
During TestFlight testing, Apple processes technical diagnostics and voluntary feedback under its terms and may provide test reports to us. App Store diagnostics also depend on Apple's services and your system settings. groquest contains no separate analytics library for this.
Local data remain until you remove them. App deletion follows the operating system's data and backup rules; local files may remain on a Mac. Removing local data does not cancel an Apple purchase. Opening groad.app in a browser or contacting support is also covered by the website and support information on this page.
The controller is Adrian Grochla (groad.app); contact details are in the legal notice. We use voluntary support information to handle your request and retain it only as long as needed for that purpose or legal obligations. For personal data we process, you may request access, correction or deletion and complain to a data protection authority. Contact: dev@groad.de.
groracer
Settings and best times are stored locally. Motion data is processed for steering but is not stored or sent to groad. No advertising or analytics services. Optional reviews use Apple / Google Play / Microsoft Store; device backups follow your system settings.
Android: Google Play processes purchases and optional reviews. Purchase receipts stay on the device for offline access. groad does not receive your payment details.
groslide
groslide stores settings, daily attempts and records locally in the app. Optional tilt steering processes motion data during an active ride; it does not store it or send it to groad. The app contains no advertising or analytics services. Purchases, restoration and optional store reviews are handled by the respective store. Device backups follow your system settings. Information submitted through the support form is handled as described in the general notices on this page.
