Privacy and Data controls

If you prefer to limit access to your information, here are the ways you can opt-out of tracking and data collection and still use Gaia GPS to its fullest. 

Make sure your default sharing setting is 'Private' (iOS)

• Sharing settings in the iOS app
• Sharing settings are always private by default on Android
• You can also change the public/private status of individual items from the web like this

Disable analytics

• Visit your Settings page on the web: https://www.gaiagps.com/settings/ 
  • disable Web and Discover analytics
    
• In the app: 
  • iOS: Settings > Other > toggle Disable Analytics 
  • Android: Settings > Account > toggle Disable Analytics
    • Please note, this will significantly limit how well the Support team is able to assist you, should you request customer support. 

If you’re concerned about background location tracking

• On iOS: Open the Settings app > Gaia GPS > Location > While Using
• On Android: Open the Settings app > Applications > Gaia GPS > Permissions > toggle on "Location". 
  • If you are running version 2020.11 of the app or newer, set the location permission for Gaia GPS to Allow only while using the app
  • Earlier versions of the app require the location permissions to be set to Allow all the time.
