| Category | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email, password (encrypted), name and username (@handle) | Create and manage your account and identify you |
| Profile (optional) | Profile photo, bio, language | Personalise your profile |
| Emergency contacts (optional) | Name and phone number of the people you add, visible only to you | Alert them by SMS from the emergency screen, with your location |
| Location | Approximate or precise device location, only while you use the app | Show nearby canyons on the map and list |
| Content | Water-flow reports (level, date, rating, comment), photos and videos, comments, likes, tagged companions, follows | Provide the service and the social features |
| Technical | Device identifier, usage and error data; advertising identifier only when the app shows advertising | Operation, security and, where applicable, advertising |
| Push notifications (optional) | Technical device notification identifier (token), platform and registration date | Send you alerts on your phone (new reports for canyons you follow, tags, replies) |
| Acceptance record | Date and version of the terms of use and safety notice you accept | Show that you have accepted the terms and the safety notice |

The water-flow reports, photos, videos and comments you publish are visible to the rest of the community. By default only your @username is shown, not your real name. You can enable the “Private descents” option so that your descents do not appear publicly with your name or photos (the water level still contributes anonymously), and decide whether to show your real name.
We use providers that process data on our behalf:
| Provider | Use |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Google Ireland Ltd.) | Authentication, database and storage of images/videos |
| Google Maps Platform | Canyon map |
| Google AdMob | Advertising in the free version, when shown (advertising identifier) |
| Apple App Store / Google Play | Distribution and purchase of the premium version |
| Expo (650 Industries, Inc., USA) | Sending push notifications: receives the device token and the alert content (canyon name and a short text) and delivers it through Apple (APNs) and Google (FCM) |
| Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) | App error logging |
Some providers may process data outside the EEA with the safeguards provided for by the GDPR (standard contractual clauses).
We keep your data while your account is active. If you request deletion, we will erase your account and content within a reasonable period, except for legal retention obligations. Push notification tokens are deleted when you turn alerts off, when you sign out, and when the provider reports they are no longer valid.
You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability by writing to [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
The app is not intended for children under 14. If we detect an account of a minor without authorisation, we will delete it.
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No system is 100% secure, but we work to minimise risks.
We may update this Policy. We will publish the current version on this page with its update date. This English version is provided for convenience; in the event of any discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.
