Data We Collect

Trailhunter collects the following data, all stored locally on your device:

Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device using on-device storage (AsyncStorage and SQLite). There is no cloud sync in the initial release. You can delete all your data at any time from the app's Settings screen.

Data Sharing

We do not share your data with third parties. The only exception: when you activate the Emergency SOS feature, your current GPS coordinates are shared with your designated emergency contacts.

Third-Party Services

Trailhunter uses the following external services to function:

Your Rights

Legal Disclaimer

1. Not a Professional Guide

Trailhunter is an AI-powered informational tool. It is not a certified mountain guide, and its recommendations do not constitute professional mountaineering advice.

2. Assumption of Risk

Mountain hiking and climbing are inherently dangerous activities. By using Trailhunter, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own safety and decision-making in the mountains.

3. Data Limitations

Weather conditions can change in minutes. Trail reports may be outdated. Conditions on the ground may differ significantly from what the app displays. Always verify conditions independently.

4. No Warranty

Trailhunter is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided.

5. Equipment Responsibility

You are responsible for ensuring your gear is functional, appropriate, and in good condition. Trailhunter's gear checklists are suggestions, not comprehensive safety audits.

6. Medical Fitness

You must be medically cleared for high-altitude physical activity. Trailhunter's physiological readiness scores are estimates based on available health data and do not constitute medical advice.

7. Weather Volatility

Mountain weather is inherently unpredictable. Forecasts are estimates. Always be prepared for rapid weather changes, especially above treeline.

8. Trail Conditions

Trail conditions may differ from app data at any time. Rockfall, snow, ice, flooding, and other hazards can appear without warning.

9. Emergency Services

Trailhunter does not replace 911, professional search and rescue, or a dedicated satellite messenger. In a real emergency, contact professional emergency services.

10. Liability Limitation

Rocky Mountain Madness LLC and its developers shall not be liable for any injuries, damages, losses, or deaths arising from the use of Trailhunter.

11. User Responsibility

You must use your own judgment and common sense at all times. The app provides guidance — you make the decisions.

12. Third-Party Data

Trailhunter relies on external data sources (weather APIs, trip reports, map services) that may contain errors or become unavailable.

13. The Mountain is the Final Authority

When in doubt, turn back. Your intuition and on-the-ground assessment must always override app recommendations.

14. Acceptance

By using Trailhunter, you accept all terms outlined in this disclaimer and privacy policy.
