Pacer Privacy Controls - iOS

Your privacy is important to us, and we’re committed to providing you with choices about what information you would like to share with other Pacer members. Your personal data including gender, year of birth, weight, height, blood pressure is only visible to yourself. Your public profile consists of your nickname, avatar, location, posts, activities, groups, goals, challenges & badges and routes. You can manage what to share with other Pacer members through the following in-app privacy settings. Tap the headlines below for detailed instruction on privacy control:

GPS activity Privacy Settings 

Every time you finish a GPS session, you will be asked to select whom this session you want to share with. If you select “Only Me”, only you can see this activity. If you select “My followers”, the GPS session will be posted to your Feed and your followers can see it. If you want to hide map and location details, please turn on “private map”. By selecting visible to “Public”, your GPS activity post can be seen by all Pacer members who visit your profile page or in the “Popular” or “Recent” sections of the Feed page.
