Effective Date: April 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Budva Trails (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application (the “App”) and the services provided through the App.

1. Information We Collect

We are committed to minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for the App’s functionality.

  • Personal Information: When you register, we may collect your name and email address.
  • Location Data: To provide the core functionality of trail tracking and navigation, the App requires access to your device’s precise location (GPS and network-based). This includes background location access if you choose to track a trail while your screen is off.
  • Usage Information: We collect data on how you interact with the App, such as the features you use and the time spent on specific trails, to improve our service.
  • Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including the hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

  • Core Functionality: To display your real-time position on trail maps and record your hiking progress.
  • Personalisation: To suggest trails based on your previous activity and preferences.
  • Communication: To send technical notices, updates, and security alerts.
  • Safety: To enable “location sharing” features if you explicitly choose to share your coordinates with others.

3. Data Retention and Deletion (Google Compliance)

We adhere to strict data retention policies:

  • Retention Period: We retain personal data only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App’s services.
  • Location Data Retention: Historical location data (recorded tracks) is stored on our secure servers only as long as you keep the “Track History” saved.
  • Data Deletion: You have the right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. You can do this directly within the App settings or by contacting us at [Tvoj Email]. Upon request, we will delete or anonymize your information from our active databases within 30 days.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share information only in the following cases:

  • With Your Consent: We share location data with third parties only if you initiate the “Share My Location” feature.
  • Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers (e.g., Mapbox, Google Maps API, Firebase) to help us operate the App. These providers have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

5. Data Security

We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. This includes SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit and secure encrypted storage for data at rest.

6. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state or country where data protection laws may differ. By using the App, you consent to this transfer.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information immediately.

8. Your Rights (GDPR & International Standards)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • The right to access the data we hold about you.
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data.
  • The right to object to the processing of your data.
  • The right to data portability.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
