Privacy

Last updated: September 2, 2026

Your files

The GPX to Google Maps tool and the KML to GPX tool read your file with the browser's own file reader and convert it in JavaScript, on the page you are looking at. The file is never uploaded, never written to our disks and never seen by us. You can check this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, go to the network panel, and convert a file - no request appears.

The Google Maps link

The Google Maps to GPX tool has to work on the server, and the link you paste is therefore sent to us. It is used for the conversion and discarded when the response is sent: it is not written to a database and not kept in a log of its own. A Google Maps link can reveal where you are going, so if that matters to you, that is the tool to think twice about.

Services we ask for help

To rebuild the roads of a Google Maps route, two services run by other people are queried: Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) to turn place names into coordinates, and a routing engine on OpenStreetMap data for the geometry of the roads. They receive the coordinates and place names of your route, and their own privacy terms apply. Map tiles in the previews are loaded from OpenStreetMap, which means your browser contacts openstreetmap.org directly when a map is shown.

Cookies

None. Not a single one. Earlier versions of this site set one cookie to remember your language; now the language is part of the address (/it/, /fr/) so there is nothing left to remember, and the cookie is gone. That is also why you see no cookie banner here. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party scripts, no fingerprinting. One preference is kept in your browser, and it is described just below.

The one thing kept in your browser

If your browser is set to a language this site speaks, a bar offers you that version. Close it and we write a single value - the fact that you closed it - into your browser's local storage, so it does not come back at every visit. That is all it holds: no identifier, nothing that could say who you are. It never reaches our server, because local storage is not sent with requests the way a cookie is: we could not read it even if we wanted to. You can wipe it whenever you like by clearing this site's data in your browser, and the bar will simply appear again.

Server logs

The web server records requests in the usual way, including IP addresses, for 30 days, for security and diagnostics. The hourly cap on the Google Maps tool counts requests per visitor without storing addresses: the address is hashed together with the current date, so the counter can tell two visitors apart but cannot be traced back to anyone, and yesterday's entries cannot be linked to today's.

Who is responsible, and your rights

The data controller is D2ICS Srl, Viale Monza 347 - 20126 Milano (P. IVA 14121350962). You can write to privacy@motogpx.org to ask what is held about you, to have it corrected or erased, or to object to its processing. Given how little is collected, most of these answers will be short.

If you go on to motogpx.org

motogpx.org is a separate site with its own accounts and its own privacy policy. Following a link from here does not carry anything with you: you arrive as a new visitor, and nothing you converted here is shared with it.
