Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 August 2026

NextSend is a climbing guide and personal logbook for Portugal. This policy explains what we process, why, and your choices. We do not sell your personal data, show ads, or track your GPS in the background.

1. Who we are

The data controller is NextSend. Privacy requests: privacy@nextsend.app.

2. Data we process

Without an account you can browse the embedded guide offline. We do not receive your logbook or account data on our servers. The app may store your language preference on your device only.

With an account we process data to provide and secure the service (typically under the contract to use NextSend):

  • Account: email and authentication data (Firebase Auth); name and profile photo URL when you or your sign-in provider (e.g. Google) provide them; login and account timestamps
  • Logbook: route, crag, sector, grade, date, ascent style; optionally attempts, notes, and star rating. Ascents are private to you in the current app. Syncing requires a network connection

Analytics and crash reports (release builds): we use Firebase Analytics (e.g. screens and routes viewed) and Firebase Crashlytics to understand usage and fix bugs — typically under legitimate interests in operating and improving a reliable app, or consent where required. Analytics is off in debug builds. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

3. Processors and third parties

Depending on how you use the app, processing may involve Google (Firebase Auth, Analytics, Crashlytics; Google Sign-In if you choose it; Google Maps if you open directions outside the app), Esri (map imagery for sector previews), and Neon / AWS (API and database hosting for account features). Some providers may process data outside the EEA; where that happens we rely on appropriate safeguards used by those providers (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).

4. Retention and deletion

We keep account and logbook data while your account exists. Delete your account in the app under Profile → Delete Account: that permanently removes your user record and ascents from our database and deletes your Firebase Auth account. Analytics and crash data held by Google follow Google’s retention policies.

5. Your rights (EEA / UK)

You may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Portugal: CNPD). Contact privacy@nextsend.app. Self-service data export is not available yet; we handle access requests manually.

6. Children and changes

NextSend is not directed at children under 13. Do not use the app if you are under 13, or under the minimum age in your country, without parental consent.

We may update this policy and will change the “Last updated” date when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
