Hike Info App Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 27, 2026

Introduction

InvoMedia ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy when you use the Hike Info app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Hike Info mobile application.

Information We Collect

Location Data

Hike Info requires high-precision location data to track your hiking activities, including distance and movement. We collect GPS coordinates and location history during your active hike sessions. This data is stored locally on your device and is essential for the core functionality of the app. You can stop location collection at any time by ending your hike session through the app.

Hike Activity Data

The app automatically records information about your hikes including distance traveled, moving time, total time, and hike summaries. This data is stored on your device and includes metadata such as the date and duration of your activities.

Usage Statistics

We may collect aggregated, anonymous usage statistics to understand how users interact with Hike Info and to identify potential improvements. This information does not personally identify you.

Device Information

We may collect basic information about your device including device model, operating system version, and app version to ensure compatibility and provide technical support.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide core hike tracking functionality
• To enable automatic detection of breaks and drive-away scenarios
• To calculate distance, speed, and other hike metrics
• To maintain your hike summary history
• To respond to your support inquiries
• To improve app performance and user experience
• To send you app updates and announcements (only if you've opted in)

Data Storage and Local Privacy

Your hike activity data and location history are primarily stored locally on your device. This gives you direct control over your data. We do not automatically transmit your location or hike history to our servers unless you explicitly choose to sync or share this data. If you contact us for support, you may choose to share specific hike data to help us assist you.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal hike data or location information to third parties. Your data remains yours and is used only for the purposes described in this policy. The app may use third-party services (such as mapping or weather services) to enhance functionality, and those services may collect data as outlined in their own privacy policies.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information. Given that most of your hike data is stored locally on your device, we recommend keeping your device secure with a strong passcode. Any data transmitted to InvoMedia servers is protected with encryption and industry-standard security practices.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access and review your hike history and activity data stored in the app
• Delete hike summaries from your device at any time
• Disable location tracking by not starting a hike session
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of usage analytics collection (where available)
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time

Location Permissions

Hike Info requires location permissions to function. The app requests permission to access "While Using" or "Always" location data depending on your device and operating system. You can change these permissions in your device's Settings app at any time. Note that disabling location access will prevent the app from tracking your hikes.

Third-Party Services

Hike Info may integrate with third-party services such as mapping, weather, or other outdoor-related services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when you interact with their services through our app.

Children's Privacy

Hike Info is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information and terminate the child's account.

Data Retention

Hike activity data stored on your device remains until you manually delete it. You can clear individual hike summaries or reset the app's data through your device's app settings. Any data you choose to share with InvoMedia for support purposes will be deleted upon request or after resolving your support inquiry.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated through app updates or notifications. Your continued use of Hike Info after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
