By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

2. Information We Collect

We collect different types of information to provide and improve our Service:

Account Information

When you create an account via Google OAuth, we receive:

  • Email address (for account identification)
  • Display name (for personalization)
  • Profile picture URL (for your avatar)

Usage Data

We automatically collect:

  • Session information (climbing sessions you log)
  • Problem data (grades, attempts, completions)
  • Goals and achievements
  • Device information (browser type, IP address)

Video Content

When you upload climbing videos for AI analysis, we temporarily store and process these videos to provide technique feedback. Video data is handled with strict security measures.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for:

  • Providing and maintaining the Service
  • Authenticating your identity and managing your account
  • Displaying your progress, analytics, and achievements
  • Processing videos through AI for technique analysis
  • Improving our Service and AI models (using anonymized data)
  • Communicating with you about updates or support
  • Detecting and preventing fraud or abuse

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • All data is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS
  • Data at rest is encrypted in our PostgreSQL database
  • OAuth tokens are securely stored and never exposed
  • Videos are stored in secure cloud storage (AWS S3)
  • Regular security audits and monitoring

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Google OAuth

We use Google OAuth for authentication. When you sign in with Google, we only request access to your basic profile information (email, name, profile picture). We do not access your Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, or any other Google services.

AI Analysis Provider

Videos you upload are processed using AI services to provide technique feedback. Video content is not retained by AI providers after analysis is complete.

Cloud Infrastructure

We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting and storage. Data is stored in secure, compliant data centers.

  • Account data: Retained until you delete your account
  • Session and climbing data: Retained until you delete your account
