Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Ascend is a software company based in Slovakia. This privacy policy explains how our applications and services ("Services") handle your data.

Our Approach to Privacy

Our Services are designed with a local-first architecture. This means your data is processed and stored on your own device whenever possible. We do not operate centralized databases that collect or store your personal information.

Data We May Access

Depending on the Service you use, our applications may access data from third-party platforms (such as fitness trackers or mapping services) when you explicitly connect your account or initiate a data import. This may include:

• Activity and fitness data (routes, statistics, timestamps)
• Location data (GPS coordinates)
• Account identifiers necessary for authentication

We only access this data when you take an explicit action to connect or sync.

How Your Data Is Stored

All user data is stored locally on your device using standard platform storage mechanisms. Our applications do not upload your personal data to our servers or any third-party cloud storage.

Where our Services require server-side processing (such as authenticating with a third-party platform), data is processed transiently and is not persisted in any server-side database.

What We Do NOT Do

• We do not collect personal information such as names, emails, or profile data
• We do not store your data on our servers
• We do not sell, rent, or disclose your data to third parties
• We do not use your data for advertising, analytics, or profiling
• We do not track your behavior across applications or sessions

Third-Party Services

Our applications may interact with third-party services (such as map providers or fitness platforms) to deliver core functionality. When this occurs, your device communicates directly with those services under their respective privacy policies. We do not act as an intermediary for your personal data in these interactions.

Data Deletion

Since your data resides on your device, you have full control over it at all times. You can delete data within the application, disconnect linked accounts, or clear your device's application storage to remove all data.

Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. Given our local-first architecture, these rights are exercised directly on your device without needing to contact us. If you have any questions about your rights, please reach out using the contact information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
