What we collect

• Profile from Strava: your first/last name, profile photo URL, athlete ID.
• Activity data from Strava: recent rides (distance, time, average speed, optional power/suffer scores) used to compute your fitness/freshness. We refresh this on a schedule, not in real time.
• Rides you create or RSVP to in the app: ride title, time, route, attendees.
• Optional: device location (only with your permission, only while you're using the map).
• Diagnostic: build version, device model, OS version — attached to in-app feedback you submit so we can reproduce bugs.

What we don't collect

• Your Strava password (OAuth — we never see it).
• Background location.
• Advertising identifiers.

Who we share data with

• Other riders on a ride you've joined see your name, profile photo, and a flame-tier indicator of your fitness — they don't see raw numbers.
• Google Firebase hosts our backend; data is stored encrypted at rest.
• Anthropic processes group-pace, coach-take, and ride-recap text via API. No personally identifying information is sent — only aggregate fitness numbers and ride context.
• Open-Meteo provides weather; we send only the ride's coordinates and time.
• We don't sell or rent your data to anyone, ever.

How long we keep it

Until you ask us to delete it. Email via the contact form and we'll wipe your account + associated data within 7 days. Anonymized aggregate stats (e.g. "total rides called this week") may persist.
