Privacy Policy

Beeboard ("we", "our", "us") is a climbing training app that helps you track problems, build circuits, and manage sessions on your wall. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights regarding that data.

1. Data We Collect

Information you provide

• Account data — email address, username, first name, and last name when you create an account.
• Profile data — profile photo and visibility preferences you choose to set.
• Climbing activity — ascents, attempts, repeats, session logs, notes, circuit completions, and training statistics you record in the app.
• Gym association — which gyms and walls you use, visit counts, and your favorite gym.
• Photos — images of walls and problems you upload.
• Social data — users you follow, problem lists you create or subscribe to, and tags you use.

Information collected automatically

• Location — GPS coordinates (only while the app is in use) to detect which gym you are at. We do not track your location in the background.
• Crash reports — anonymous error logs and stack traces via Firebase Crashlytics, collected only in release builds to help us fix bugs.
• Device connection data — Bluetooth and local network information used solely to connect to LED wall controllers. This data is not stored or transmitted.

Information we do not collect

• We do not collect advertising identifiers.
• We do not track your activity across other apps or websites.
• We do not collect payment information (there are no in-app purchases processed through the app).
• We do not collect browsing history, search history, or analytics about how you navigate the app.

2. Why We Collect Your Data

• Core functionality — to let you track climbs, build circuits, log sessions, and manage your wall.
• Gym detection — to automatically identify which gym you are climbing at based on your location.
• Social features — to let you follow other climbers, share sessions, and participate in leaderboards.
• LED integration — to connect to your wall's LED controller via Bluetooth or local network.
• Stability — to diagnose and fix crashes and errors via crash reports.
• Statistics — to calculate your climbing analytics, achievements, and progress over time.

3. Device Permissions

The app may request the following permissions. You can deny or revoke any of these in your device settings.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Google Firebase to operate the app. Firebase processes data on our behalf under Google's privacy terms. The specific Firebase services we use are:

• Firebase Authentication — manages your login credentials (email and password).
• Firebase Realtime Database — stores your profile, climbing activities, and gym data.
• Firebase Cloud Storage — stores photos you upload.
• Firebase Cloud Functions — calculates climbing analytics and statistics.
• Firebase Crashlytics — collects anonymous crash reports.

We do not share your data with any advertising networks, data brokers, or other third parties.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on Google Firebase servers located in Europe (europe-west1). All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL). Access to the database is controlled by security rules that restrict users to their own data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days. Anonymous crash reports may be retained for up to 90 days for stability analysis.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data — request a copy of all data we hold about you.
• Correct your data — update your profile information at any time in the app.
• Delete your data — request deletion of your account and all associated data.
• Export your data — request a machine-readable export of your climbing data.
• Withdraw consent — revoke device permissions at any time in your device settings.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@beeboard.app.

8. Children's Privacy

Beeboard is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
