Edgework

Edgework Privacy Policy

Edgework is a ski and snowboard tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. This policy explains what data Edgework collects, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and how you can delete it. It applies to the Edgework app and to tryedgework.com.

Who we are

Edgework is developed and operated by Muhammed Emin Çimen, an individual developer based in Türkiye who publishes apps under the studio name Momentease ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the data described here.

Summary

  • We collect what the app needs to record and keep your ski days: your account, your ski days and runs, and what you choose to share with friends.
  • Your raw GPS points stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch. We store a simplified track of each run and lift with your day.
  • Your account and ski days are stored by Supabase in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany).
  • Location is used while you record, when you look at your position on the map and for nearby resorts and the weather. Live location sharing with friends is off until you turn it on.
  • Apple Health data, including heart rate, never reaches our servers and is never used for advertising.
  • No ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking across other apps or websites, and we never sell your data.
  • You can delete your account and all of its data in the app: Profile → Delete account.

Data we collect

Account

  • Email address and password. The password is stored only as a hash by our authentication provider.
  • If you use Sign in with Apple: your email address (or an Apple private relay address if you choose "Hide My Email"), your name if you choose to share it (Apple sends it only the first time) and the ID of your Apple account. We also keep the token we need to revoke Edgework's access when you delete your account. We never receive your Apple password.
  • Your display name and settings: units (metric or imperial), sport (ski, snowboard or telemark) and app language.
  • Password reset: when you ask for a reset link, we send an email to your address.

Ski days

For each day you record, we store with your account:

  • the date, time zone and resort;
  • totals: runs, vertical, distance, top speed, time on snow and on lifts, peak elevation, and jump stats (number of jumps, longest airtime);
  • each run and lift ride: a simplified track line with times, speeds and elevations, the run or lift name and difficulty.

These are stored so your days sync across your devices and show up in your logbook, season totals, personal bests and comparisons. Only you can read them, except the season totals your friends see on leaderboards (see "Friends").

The raw GPS points of a recording stay on your device and are never uploaded.

Location

Edgework asks for location access to:

  • Record: between Start and Stop, Edgework uses precise location, also in the background with the phone in your pocket, to measure speed, vertical and distance and to tell runs from lifts. iOS shows the location indicator while it does. Location is not used for recording when you are not recording.
  • Find your resort: the app sends your current coordinates to our server to look up nearby ski resorts. The coordinates are used for that lookup only and are not stored.
  • Show the weather: the app sends the coordinates of your position or of the resort you look at to Apple's WeatherKit service to get the forecast and snowfall. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather.
  • Show your position on the map while the app is open.

Motion sensors and Apple Watch

  • Jump and airtime detection uses your iPhone's motion sensors. The sensor readings are processed on the device; only the resulting jump stats are stored with your day.
  • The Apple Watch app records with the watch's GPS, heart rate and altitude sensors and sends the recording to your iPhone, which then saves the day to your account like any other day. Heart rate is not part of what is saved to your account (see below).

Apple Health (HealthKit)

Apple Health is off until you turn it on in the app, and you choose what Edgework may access in the iOS permission sheet.

  • Write: each recorded day is saved to Apple Health as a downhill skiing or snowboarding workout with its start and end time, distance and route. During a recording on Apple Watch, the workout's heart rate is saved to Apple Health too.
  • Read: if you allow it, the iPhone app reads your heart-rate samples for the time of a ski day to show heart-rate stats for that day.
  • Health data, including heart rate from Apple Health or from the watch, is processed on your devices only. It is never stored on our servers, never included in GPX files or Strava uploads, never shared with friends or any third party, never used for advertising, marketing or data mining, and never sold.

Friends

  • Your friends list, the friend requests you send and receive, and your invite code. Anyone who has your invite code or link can send you a friend request. An invite link (tryedgework.com/friend/…) opened in a browser shows a page on this website that displays the code; it sets no cookies and sends nothing to us beyond the page request.
  • Friends see your display name and, on leaderboards, your season vertical, number of days and top speed.
  • Live location sharing is off by default. If you turn it on for a recording, your accepted friends can see your last position and status (for example skiing or on a lift) only while that recording runs. We store only your latest position: each update overwrites the previous one, and it is deleted when you stop the recording.

Strava (optional)

If you connect Strava, you sign in on Strava's page and Strava gives us access tokens, which we store on our server. We use them only to upload each finished day to your Strava account as an activity (with its track, times and distance). You can disconnect at any time; we then delete the tokens. Activities already uploaded stay in your Strava account and are covered by Strava's privacy policy.

Exports and sharing

GPX files and share images of a day are created on your device. They go only where you send them with the iOS share sheet.

Crash reports

When the app crashes or hits an error, it sends a crash report to Sentry: the stack trace, device model, iOS and app version, and a pseudonymous account ID (not your name or email). We use it only to find and fix bugs.

Notifications, widgets and Live Activity

Reminders such as "Still recording?" and the automatic stop are local notifications scheduled on your device; no notification data passes through our servers. Widgets and the Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island show data that is already on your device.

What we don't collect

No advertising identifiers, no contacts, no photos, no third-party analytics and no tracking across other apps or websites. Edgework turns off Mapbox's telemetry.

This website

tryedgework.com uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party requests. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes your IP address and request data to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse.

How we use data

  • To provide the app: record and analyse your ski days, name runs and lifts, sync your days across devices, show maps, weather, friends, leaderboards and live location sharing, and send your days to Apple Health or Strava when you ask for it.
  • To keep the service secure and working: crash reports, preventing abuse and answering support requests.
  • We don't use your data for advertising, don't build advertising profiles and don't sell or rent it.

Service providers

We share data only with these providers, who process it on our behalf and are bound to protect it:

Provider Purpose Data Location
Supabase, Inc. (on Amazon Web Services) Database, sign-in, server functions Account, ski days, friends, live location while sharing, Strava tokens EU (Frankfurt, Germany)
Mapbox, Inc. Map tiles, terrain and offline maps Your IP address and device information sent with map requests; the map area you view or download United States
Apple Inc. Sign in with Apple, WeatherKit (forecast), app distribution Apple account ID, email (or relay address), name if shared; coordinates for the forecast Worldwide
Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry) Crash and error reports Stack traces, device model, iOS and app version, pseudonymous account ID EU (Frankfurt, Germany)
Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting tryedgework.com, forwarding email sent to [email protected] IP address and request data; the emails you send us Worldwide

If you connect Strava, we send your finished days to Strava, Inc. (United States) on your instruction; Strava then handles them as an independent controller under its own policy.

Resort, run and lift data come from OpenSkiData / OpenStreetMap and are stored on our own server; no data about you is sent to those projects.

We may also disclose data if the law requires it, for example in response to a valid court order.

International transfers

Some providers are outside Türkiye and the European Economic Area. When data is transferred abroad, we rely on the safeguards the law provides, such as the standard contractual clauses in our providers' data processing terms, and on your explicit consent where the law requires it.

How long we keep data

  • Account, ski days, friends and settings: until you delete them or your account.
  • Live location: only your latest position while you share a recording; deleted when the recording stops.
  • Strava tokens: until you disconnect Strava or delete your account.
  • Coordinates for the resort lookup and the weather: not stored by us.
  • Crash reports: kept by Sentry for up to 90 days.
  • Support emails: kept as long as needed to answer you, then deleted.
  • When you delete your account, its data is removed from our live systems immediately. Copies in our hosting provider's encrypted backups are removed as those backups expire, within 30 days.

Your choices and rights

  • Delete your account: Profile → Delete account. This immediately and permanently deletes your login and all your data on our servers: profile, ski days, runs and lifts, friends and friend requests, live location, leaderboard entries and Strava tokens. It also revokes Edgework's Sign in with Apple access and wipes Edgework's data on the phone. Workouts already saved to Apple Health and activities already uploaded to Strava stay there; delete them in the Health app or on Strava. You can also ask us by email; see https://tryedgework.com/delete-account.
  • Delete a single day: open the day in your logbook → Delete day.
  • Location: change it in iOS Settings → Edgework → Location. Without "Always", recording with the screen off is not reliable.
  • Live location sharing: off by default; turn it on or off for each recording.
  • Apple Health: turn it off in the app, and change what Edgework may read or write in the Health app (Sharing → Apps → Edgework).
  • Strava: disconnect in the app at any time.
  • Notifications: change them in iOS Settings → Edgework → Notifications.
  • Access, correction, portability, objection and complaints: depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, KVKK, Article 11), you may have the right to know whether we process your data, to access, correct or delete it, to receive a copy, to restrict or object to processing, to withdraw consent and to claim compensation for unlawful processing. Write to [email protected] and we will answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority, KVKK).

Withdrawing consent doesn't affect processing that happened before.

  • Your account, recording, syncing, maps, resort lookup, weather and friends: performance of our contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); KVKK Art. 5(2)(c)).
  • Live location sharing, Strava, Apple Health and transfers abroad where consent is required: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and, for health data, Art. 9(2)(a); KVKK Art. 5(1), 6 and 9).
  • Crash reports, security and abuse prevention: our legitimate interest in a working, safe service (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); KVKK Art. 5(2)(f)).
  • Keeping records the law requires: legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c); KVKK Art. 5(2)(ç)).

Children

Edgework is not directed to children under 13 (under 16 in the European Economic Area), and they may not create an account. If you believe a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest by our hosting provider. Database rules limit every account to its own data; friends can read only what is described under "Friends". No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Changes

We will update this policy when the app or the law changes and change the date at the top. If a change affects how your data is shared, we will tell you in the app before it applies.
