Skimo's map, terrain, weather, and avalanche-forecast tools are deterministic decision support. They do not make decisions for you. Skimo does not use AI or machine-learning services, and we do not send your data to them.
You can use the map without an account. When you create an account (optional), we store:
When you use signed-in or shared features, our server may also store:
Your device stores locally:
Location is used only for:
When location sharing is enabled, the server stores only your latest shared position and returns it only to the audience you selected. The app treats shared locations as fresh for only a short query window, currently about 5 minutes. We do not build a movement history from these updates.
The app uses the camera or your photo library only when you choose to attach a photo to a condition report.
Messages are visible to the friend or group members you send them to. You can report a message or a user and block users. We review reports and may remove content or accounts that break our rules. When you block someone, you stop seeing their messages and shared location, and you cannot become friends or exchange direct messages.
Map viewing may request tiles, weather, avalanche, terrain, and background map data from skimo.pro and from third-party map or data providers listed in the app. Those provider requests can include normal web request metadata such as IP address, referrer, requested tile coordinates, and approximate map area. Offline maps reduce repeated network requests for supported skimo.pro-owned layers, but third-party rendered provider tiles are not persisted by the service worker.
Local-only app data is stored in your browser storage or, in the iPhone app, in files inside the app's own storage on your device. Server-side account, sharing, route, run, pin, report, profile, feedback, and location-sharing data is stored in the skimo.pro backend database. We do not sell personal data.
You can delete your account at any time from Settings. This removes your server-stored user record, latest shared location, direct messages, group memberships, friend requests, blocks, photos, ski lines, runs, routes, waypoints, shared pins, condition pins, user profile, and any feedback you submitted while signed in to this account. Feedback submitted while signed out is not linked to an account, so it is not removed by account deletion; to have such feedback erased, contact us. Group messages you sent and groups you created are retained for the other members but are de-identified (shown as "Deleted user"). If you signed in with Apple in the iPhone app, deleting your account there also asks Apple to revoke the app's access to your Apple ID. Local data such as offline maps and app storage can be cleared by uninstalling the app or clearing site data.
