Satellite ("the App") is a community mobile application that lets BMX and skate riders discover, add, and share geolocated spots. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why, and how you can control it.

1. Data we collect

• Account information: email address and, if you sign in with a third-party provider (Google, Apple), the basic profile information it shares with us.
• Profile information: display name, profile picture, and bio, if you choose to add them.
• Content you submit: photos, titles, descriptions, categories, and location data for the spots you add or edit.
• Location data: GPS coordinates extracted from the EXIF metadata of photos you upload, or coordinates you set manually when adding a spot.
• Usage data: basic technical data (device type, app version, crash logs) used to keep the App reliable.

We do not collect your real-time location in the background; location is only used to place the spots you actively choose to add.

2. How we use your data

• To operate the interactive map and display spots to the community.
• To let you manage your profile, favorites, and submitted spots.
• To moderate content (review new spots and edits before they go public) and keep the map accurate and safe.
• To respond to support requests and improve the App.

3. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. Spot content you submit (photos, descriptions, location) is public by design and visible to all users once approved. Your account and content data are stored and processed using Google Firebase (Firestore, Storage, Authentication, Cloud Functions), which acts as our data processor and may store data outside your country of residence, under its own security safeguards.

4. Data retention

We keep your account and content data for as long as your account is active. Spots and edits you submit remain part of the community map even if you later delete your account, unless you request their removal.

5. Your rights

Depending on your location (including under the EU/UK GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to request a copy of it. To exercise these rights, contact us at [contact email]. Account and associated personal data deletion requests are processed within 14 days.
