This Privacy Policy explains how Kowirro Team (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the Kowirro mobile application and related services (the “Services”).

If you are under 17, do not use the Services. If you do not agree with this Policy, do not use the Services.

1) What We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide: name, username, email address; support communications; climbing logs and notes you choose to store (routes, grades/difficulty, notes, environmental conditions).
  • Information collected automatically: device information; usage analytics; crash logs and diagnostics.
  • Location (if you allow it): precise or approximate location, depending on your device permission settings.

2) Cookies & Similar Technologies

If any web-based components are used (for example, embedded web views), cookies and similar technologies (which may include web beacons) may be used for login, preferences, analytics, and security. Disabling cookies may affect login and preference features.

3) Photos, Face Data & Biometric Information

  • No face recognition: we do not perform face recognition.
  • No biometric identifiers for identification: we do not create or store biometric identifiers to uniquely identify you.
  • One-time processing and deletion: where photo/text processing occurs (including server-side processing), content is processed to produce the requested result and then deleted promptly after completion.
  • Your control: you control whether to upload photos or text for any optional processing or generation features.
  • No third-party sharing for their own purposes: we do not share uploaded photos or text with third parties for their own purposes. If service providers support processing, they act only as processors under contract and may not use your content for their own purposes.
  • Local storage by default: where supported, photos are stored locally unless you choose otherwise.
  • No training/marketing use: we do not use photos to train advertising systems or for marketing profiling.

  • Security, fraud and abuse prevention.

We do not sell your personal information.

5) How We Share Information

We share information only as needed and only as described below:

  • With your consent (for example, when you choose to export/share data).
  • Service providers (processors) under contractual confidentiality and security obligations (for example, hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support tooling).
  • Legal requirements (to comply with law or legal process).
  • Protect rights and safety (to enforce policies and prevent fraud/security issues).

Minimum necessary: we aim to share only what is necessary for the stated purpose.

6) International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use lawful safeguards for cross-border transfers, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
