What we collect
When you create an account, Trails stores your username, email address, and a hashed password. If you use account features, Trails also stores your favorite trails, marked completions, preferred unit system, and your last sign-in time.
If you choose to save a home location while signed in, Trails stores the latitude and longitude you submit for that home map view.
Trails also keeps aggregate operational data for the ad system, such as campaign impression and click counts. Those counters help the site manage beta sponsorship placements, but they are not stored as a per-user activity history in the current app.
How we use it
- To create and secure your account.
- To remember saved trails, completion history, and measurement units.
- To let you reopen the map near a saved home area if you choose to set one.
- To operate, troubleshoot, and improve the beta.
Location and map data
If you tap a browser control like “Use my location,” your browser may share a current location with the site after you grant permission. That real-time lookup is optional.
Trails only keeps location coordinates long term when you explicitly save a home location to your account. If you do not save it, the app can still center the map in the moment without permanently attaching that location to your profile.
Your choices
You can update your email address, unit preference, and saved home location from your account. You can also stop using the optional saved-trail features at any time.
For privacy questions or account-data removal requests, contact the site operator directly through the support channel provided for this beta.
Changes to this policy
Because Trails is still in beta, the product and this policy may change as features expand. When the handling of account or location data changes in a material way, this page should be updated alongside the product.
