Privacy Policy

Fjord Trail · Last updated 14 July 2026

Fjord Trail is a hiking companion for Norway. We built it to respect your privacy: we operate no servers of our own, we have no user accounts, and we do not collect, sell, or share your personal data. This policy explains what happens to data on your device.

What we do not do

• No account or sign-up.
• No advertising, no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party tracking SDKs.
• No servers operated by us — so there is no central database holding your information.

Location

With your permission, Fjord Trail uses your device location while you are using the app to:

• show your current coordinates for safety and emergencies;
• find marked trails and cabins near you;
• retrieve weather and avalanche information for your area.

Your location is processed on your device. To fetch the information above, your approximate coordinates are sent to the public data providers listed below. We do not store your location on any server we control. You can turn location access on or off at any time in the iOS Settings app.

Data stored on your device

The following stay only on your device and are removed when you delete the app:

• trails you save to a trip;
• maps and trail content you download for offline use;
• your language preference.

Third-party data providers

When you use related features, requests (which include your IP address and, where relevant, coordinates) are sent to these public services. They process that data under their own privacy policies:

• MET Norway / Yr — weather (privacy)
• NVE / Varsom — avalanche warnings (varsom.no)
• Kartverket — maps, trails, elevation (kartverket.no)
• OpenStreetMap / Overpass — trails and cabins (privacy)
• Wikipedia / Wikimedia — descriptions and photos (privacy)

Children

Fjord Trail is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.

Your choices

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to export or delete on your behalf. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. Location access can be revoked in iOS Settings.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and post the revised version at this URL.
