When you create an account in the App, we collect your email address for the purpose of user authentication and account management. We do not collect any other personally identifiable information (PII) unless you voluntarily provide it.

Hiking Location Information and User-Entered Data

The App allows you to store and track hiking location information, such as routes, waypoints, and other related data. Additionally, you may enter personal information or notes within the App. This information is stored securely on our servers and is used to provide you with the requested services and enhance your user experience.

Use of Personal Information

Communication and App Marketing

We may use your email address to communicate with you regarding important updates, account-related information, and any support or service-related inquiries. Additionally, we may occasionally send you promotional emails about new features, enhancements, or other information that we believe may be of interest to you. You may have the option to unsubscribe from these promotional emails at any time.

Aggregated and Anonymized Data

We may aggregate and anonymize the data collected from all users of the App to analyze trends, improve our services, and develop new features. This aggregated data does not contain any personally identifiable information and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and employ reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect it from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take steps to delete it as soon as possible.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy within the App. Your continued use of the App after the posting of any modifications signifies your acceptance of such changes.
