SkatingZone privacy policy

What the app keeps

• Your training: the sessions you log, the moves in them, your ratings, notes and reflections, which moves you have mastered or starred, your goals, and which articles you have read.
• A nickname, only if you choose one. It is shown only to me, beside feedback you send.
• Feedback you send from the app: your message, the screen you sent it from, a screenshot of that screen if you leave it attached, and your device, browser and app version.
• Your sign-in: passkeys and recovery codes, stored only as public keys and hashes, plus the device names and dates of your sign-ins. There is no password, and the app never asks for your name, email or phone number.
• If you ask for an invitation on the request page: the email address and note you type. They are deleted when your account is made, when a decline has been shown to you, or after 60 days, whichever comes first. A declined request has its email and note cleared at once.

Why

Only to run the app for you: to show your route to the moves you want, to suggest what to practise next, to keep your record in step across your devices, and so I know who wrote to me. Nothing is used for advertising, nothing is sold, and there is no analytics or tracking.

Where it is kept

Your record is kept on your device and on the app's own server, a computer I run myself in Slovakia. Every connection is encrypted (HTTPS). The server is backed up nightly. The last 7 backups stay on the server, and copies are kept in my own Microsoft OneDrive storage for 90 days.

Who else is involved

• Cloudflare carries the app's traffic to the server and so handles your IP address in passing, as a service provider. It receives none of your training record.
• YouTube serves the practice videos. Videos are embedded from youtube-nocookie.com, which sets no tracking cookie until you play one, and preview images load from YouTube. What YouTube does with a video you play is covered by Google's privacy policy.

No one else receives your data.

Cookies

Only three, all needed to get you into the app: one carries your invitation from the welcome page into the installed app, one lets you pick up an invitation you asked for, and one remembers an invitation from a tester link. None tracks you.

Your choices: export and delete

In the app, Settings → Export or delete lets you download your whole record as a file or delete your account. Deleting removes your account and everything in it from the server at once. Copies in backups disappear as the backups expire, within 90 days. If you can no longer open the app, write to [email protected] and I will delete your account for you.

You also have the right to see, correct or object to what I keep, and to complain to the Slovak data protection authority (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky).

Age

The app is not meant for children under 16, and I do not knowingly keep data about them.
