Data collection and processing

This app collects data from your phone to provide you with an easy way to track where you and your friends are in a skiing resort. When you use our services we collect:

i) Location
Our App collects location data from sources such as GPS, Wi-Fi and cell towers once consent is granted to the App’s tracking of your location. We may also use Accelerometer samples from your phone. You may choose to stop our collection of location data through the Settings or limit the accuracy of the collected data.

ii) Information you provide
If you choose to create an account, you provide us your email address via third-party login services (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter). These services may also provide other information such as your name, gender or birth year upon approval.

iii) Information from your device
This includes information about your operating system, device identifier, carrier, language, battery performance, wi-fi or other network connections, or other data that you permit the App to access on your device including through permissions on your device.

iv) Communications with us.
If you communicate with us, we collect the information and content you provide to us, including personally identifying information such as your name, email or other contact information. You can provide anonymous feedback by using an email account that does not reveal your identity.

How we use information

We process and use the information we collect about you in a variety of ways. The primary purpose is to provide you and your friends with an easy way to track each other’s location in a winter resort. We upload your information from your device over a secured connection to our servers in order to analyze the data and identify your location and movement. Results are sent back, again over a secured connection so that you can view and interact with them. Locations for your device are not personalized within our database, and in addition are encrypted using industry standard methods. Old location data for your device is deleted regularly, at intervals never greater than 1 month.

Other ways we use your data include to develop aggregated analyses and reports that help us improve our algorithms, measure and understand how our Services are used, and to develop new products, services and features. We also use your information to communicate with you, such as by sending you notifications and service-related messages, or by responding to your requests and questions.
