Motocamp Japan is an off-grid camping and adventure mapping app. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, and your rights. Using Motocamp Japan requires a free account — you sign up with a username and password only; no email address is required — and your saved data syncs to the cloud so it follows you across your devices.
You sign up with a username and password only — we do not ask for or store an email address. The following account data is stored on our behalf by Supabase (our authentication and database provider):
If you choose to sign in with Google instead of a username, Google provides us your basic profile identifier for authentication only; we do not receive your Google password.
Payment for a subscription is processed by Stripe (on the web) or the Apple App Store / Google Play (in-app purchase). We store only your subscription status and, for web payments, a Stripe customer reference — never your card details.
We do not sell or share account data with anyone. You can delete your account and all associated cloud data at any time from the app (Account → Permanently delete my account) or by emailing joshlees1@gmail.com.
The app requests access to your device's GPS location to:
Your live GPS location is processed entirely on your device. It is never sent to our servers and is not stored beyond the current session. The app functions without location access — you can deny the permission and use the map manually. (A home address you deliberately save is the one exception — see "Home base" above — and only because you chose to save it.)
The app may access device motion sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass) for the ride dashboard's lean angle and heading features. This sensor data is processed on-device only and is not stored or transmitted.
The app stores the following locally on your device using browser storage (localStorage, IndexedDB, Cache API):
You can clear all locally stored data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this app.
The app makes direct requests from your browser/device to these third-party services:
The app may also open outbound web links to campsite operators, michi-no-eki sites and Booking.com for campsite/accommodation details; these open as ordinary web links.
These services may log your IP address and the coordinates/queries you request. We have no control over their data practices — please review their policies.
Motocamp Japan does not use analytics, advertising, or any tracking technologies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar services. If you sign in, Supabase stores an authentication token in your browser solely to keep you signed in.
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data (username, saved routes, favourites, home base, preferences, usage and subscription status) at any time — from the app (Account → Permanently delete my account) or by emailing joshlees1@gmail.com. Deletion removes your account and all associated cloud data. Under Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (個人情報保護法, APPI) you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Personal Information Protection Commission (ppc.go.jp).
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
