Welcome to Sloper: Climb, Track, Train, a climbing tracking app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, designed to help climbers log their progress and connect with friends. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the limited circumstances under which we may share it. By using Sloper: Climb, Track, Train, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

When you sign up for Sloper: Climb, Track, Train, we collect the following personal information:
• Full Name (for account identification and search functionality).
‍• Username (for account identification and search functionality).
‍• Email Address (for account creation, authentication, and communication).
‍• City (for regional communication, marketing insights, and understanding app usage trends).

In addition to the above, we collect Health & Fitness Data as described in Section 3 below.

As a climbing tracking app, Sloper: Climb, Track, Train collects and stores the following Health & Fitness Data that you voluntarily provide when using the app:

• Climbing Sessions — details of your climbing sessions, including date, number of climbs, and optionally, location.
• Climb Types & Grades — the type of climb (boulder, lead, top-rope) and the difficulty grade you assign to each climb.

Apple HealthKit Integration (iOS only):
On iOS, you may optionally connect Sloper to Apple HealthKit to import your heart rate data for a climbing session. This data is used solely to display heart rate information alongside your session within the app. This integration is entirely opt-in — no health data is read from HealthKit unless you explicitly grant permission. Heart rate data imported from HealthKit is stored with your session data on our servers and is not shared with any third parties.

How we use this data:
• To display your climbing history, progress charts, and personal statistics within the app.
• To enable features such as leaderboards and friend comparisons (only data you choose to make visible to others).
• To improve app functionality and the overall user experience.

How we protect this data:
• Your Health & Fitness Data is stored securely on our servers using industry-standard encryption and access controls.
• We do not sell, share, or provide your Health & Fitness Data to third parties for advertising, marketing, data brokering, or any purpose unrelated to the operation of the app.
• We do not use your Health & Fitness Data to serve advertisements or build advertising profiles.
• Access to your Health & Fitness Data is limited to you and, where applicable, other users you have chosen to connect with through the app's social features.

If you delete your account, all associated Health & Fitness Data will be permanently removed from our systems.

We use your information strictly to provide and improve the Sloper: Climb, Track, Train app experience. Specifically, we use it to:
• Allow users to search for and connect with friends by full name or username
• Authenticate and manage user accounts using email verification codes
• Send occasional product updates and important service-related emails (such as verification codes and account notifications)
• Analyze app usage to improve functionality and user experience

• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
• We do not use your email for third-party marketing—only for Sloper: Climb, Track, Train-related updates and important service communications.
• We do not track, analyze, or monetize user behavior beyond what is necessary to operate and improve the app.

We take security seriously and implement reasonable measures to protect your data. Sloper does not store passwords, as login is facilitated through a one-time verification code sent to your email. This means there are no credentials stored on our servers that could be compromised. To further protect your account, we recommend that you keep your email secure, as access to it will allow you to log in to Sloper: Climb, Track, Train.

We retain your account information for as long as you use the app. If you delete your account, we will remove your data from our systems.

• Analytics tools — to better understand user interactions and improve app performance.

Some existing subscribers may have subscriptions managed through Apple's App Store, which is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

These services are used strictly for app operation and usability improvements—not for advertising or tracking you outside the app.
