Privacy

What we collect

• Browsing: nothing is required to explore the site. Our host keeps standard, short-lived request logs for security and reliability.
• Your hike log:when you mark trails hiked, that log lives in your browser (and photos in your browser’s local storage). It never leaves your device unless you sign in.
• When you sign in: we store the basic identity your provider shares (name, email, avatar), and we sync your hikes, profile, cleanup log, and per-hike photos so they follow you across devices. Photos are kept in private storage and shown only to you.
• Analytics: privacy-friendly, aggregate usage and performance metrics. No cross-site tracking and no selling of data.

Who processes your data

• GitHub and Google, only if you choose to sign in with them.
• Vercel, our host, for serving the site, aggregate analytics, and private photo storage.
• Neon, our database, for your synced hikes and profile when signed in.
• Stripe, for payments if and when the shop opens. We never see your full card details.

Public only by choice

Leaderboards are opt-in. Nothing about your hikes is shown publicly unless you explicitly turn sharing on, and you can turn it off again at any time.

Your control

You can export your hike log to a file at any time from My hikes, and import it on another device. You can remove individual hikes, and if you signed in you can delete your account and the data we synced for you. Deleting locally clears the copy in your browser.
