What we keep, and what we don't.

Last updated 2 March 2026

Your trail data

Routes, photos and notes you record belong to you. They are stored on your device and, if you sign in, encrypted copies are synced to our servers so you can open them on another device. We never sell or share them.

Location

The app uses your location only while you are recording a trail. Recording stops when you tell it to, and background tracking is never switched on without a running recording.

Account

To sync, we store your e-mail address and a hashed password. You can delete your account and all synced data from the app settings at any time; deletion is immediate and permanent.

Analytics and tracking

This website sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. The app sends anonymous crash reports only if you opt in.
