Account and privacy — SkateMaps help

// WHAT WE COLLECT

The minimum we need to run the app:

Your email (for sign-in and account recovery).
Your username and the profile fields you fill in.
Spots you submit, clips you upload, comments you write, places you save.
Your approximate location, only while you're using location-aware features like the map or DTS, and only at the precision the feature needs (DTS rounds to a block; the map can use your actual coordinates to center the view).
Standard server logs (IP, user agent) for security and debugging. These rotate.

We don't track you across other websites.
We don't sell your data. We don't sell ad placements. There's no ad network on SkateMaps.
We don't build a behavioral profile on you for monetization.
We don't share your data with brands, sponsors, or partners. There aren't any.

In /me/privacy:

Toggle DTS visibility and radius.
Toggle whether your saved spots and saved searches are visible on your public profile.
Toggle whether your activity (clips, comments, sessions) appears on your public profile or stays private to you.
Turn on family, beginner, or adaptive mode.
Manage which emails you get from us (we send few; transactional only by default).

You can delete your account at any time from /me/privacy. Deletion removes:

Your profile, email, sign-in.
Your saved spots, saved searches, and private favorites.
Your DMs (these are removed from both sides of the conversation since they're your data).
Your clip uploads (the underlying files are scheduled for permanent deletion within 30 days).

We do not remove:

Public spot submissions you contributed (the spots stay on the map; your authorship line becomes "former member").
Public comments tied to community moderation actions (we keep the record for audit reasons, but the username is detached).

If you want a full data export before deletion, request one from /me/privacy first. We send it as a JSON file.

Privacy questions go to privacy@skatemap.example (placeholder — final address ships with launch).
