Information We Ski Collects

We Ski collects information about you, including information that directly or indirectly identifies you, when you or other members choose to share it with us. We also collect information about how you use the Services. There are several ways in which you share information about yourself, your friends, and your activities with We Ski. For example:

Account, Profile, Activity, and Use Information

We collect basic account information such as your name, email address, profile picture, date of birth and gender.

Profile, activity and use information is collected about you when you choose to upload a picture, activity (including date, time and geo-location information), or otherwise use the Services.

Location Information

We collect and process location information when you use the Services, for example while recording an activity. We do not track your device location while you are not using We Ski. If you would like to stop device location tracking, you may do so at any time by adjusting your device settings.

Payment Information

When you make a payment on We Ski, you may provide payment information such as your payment card or other payment details. We use Payment Card Industry compliant third-party payment services and we do not store your credit card information.

Third-Party Accounts

We Ski allows you to sign up and log in to the Services using accounts you create with third-party products and services, such as Facebook, Google, or Apple (collectively, “Third-Party Accounts”). When you access the Services with Third-Party Accounts we will collect information that you have agreed to make available such as your name, email address, profile information and preferences. This information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to We Ski under their privacy policies. You can generally control the information that we receive from these sources using the privacy controls in your Third-Party Account.

Technical Information and Log Files

We collect information from your mobile device, which provides us with technical information when you access or use the Services. This technical information includes device and network information, log files and analytics information.

The Services use log files. The information stored in those files includes information such as IP address, platform type, date/time stamp, etc. This information is used to analyze trends, administer, protect and secure the Services, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses may be linked to session IDs, member IDs and device identifiers.

How We Ski Uses Information

We Ski uses the information we collect in order to operate the Services and customize them for you.

We use the information we collect to process payments, provide support related to the Services, enforce our Terms of Use, and to communicate with you (including to send marketing and push communications) where you have not opted out of receiving such messages and notifications.

We also use the information we collect to analyze, develop and improve the Services. To do this, We Ski may use third-party analytics providers to gain insights into how our Services are used and to help us improve the Services.

We may also use the information we collect to market and promote the Services.

Aggregate Information

We do not sell your personal information. We Ski may aggregate the information you and others make available in connection with the Services and post it publicly or share it with third parties. This aggregated information will be de-associated with your name and other identifiers. Examples of the type of information we may aggregate include information about demographics, resorts frequented, lifts used, and lift wait times. We Ski may use, sell, license, and share this aggregated information with third parties for research or other business purposes. We Ski may also use aggregated information to generate heat maps.

How Information is Shared

In addition to sharing aggregated data about our members as described above, we also share personal information as needed to run our business and provide the Services, and where required for legal purposes, as set forth below.

Publicly Available Information

Your name, city, state, and profile picture are viewable by all We Ski members and the public.

Sharing Information and Activities

As a social network, we share your information with We Ski members with whom you have elected to establish a Friendship. While recording an activity, you can choose to share your location with friends using We Ski Friend Locator. You can also share your activities with your contacts via text, email, or on social media applications like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you link your We Ski account to other social networks and share your activities, they will be viewable on such third-party platforms, including your location information. You should use caution when sharing information via third parties and you should carefully review the privacy practices of such third parties.

Third Party Service Providers

We may share your information with third parties who provide services to We Ski such as supporting, improving, promoting and securing the Services, processing payments, or fulfilling orders. These service providers only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions on our behalf and are required to protect and secure your information. We may also engage service providers to collect information about your use of the Services over time on our behalf, so that we or they may promote We Ski or display information that may be relevant to your interests on the Services.

Acquirors of our Business or Assets

If We Ski becomes involved in a business combination, securities offering, bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or other similar transaction, we may share or transfer your information in connection with such transaction.

How We Protect Information

We take several measures to safeguard the collection, transmission and storage of the data we collect. We employ reasonable protections for your information that are appropriate to its sensitivity. The Services use industry standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology to allow for the encryption of personal information and credit card numbers. The Services are registered with site identification authorities so that your device can confirm We Ski’s identity before any personal information is sent. In addition, We Ski’s secure servers protect this information using advanced firewall technology.

Managing Your Settings

Adjust Notification and Email Preferences

We Ski offers various ways to manage the notifications you receive. You can choose to stop receiving certain emails and push notifications by adjusting the communication settings on the Settings screen. You may also unsubscribe by following the instructions contained at the bottom of each email. Any administrative or service-related emails (to confirm a purchase, or an update to this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use, etc.) generally do not offer an option to unsubscribe as they are necessary to provide the Services you requested.

Update Account Information

You may correct, amend or update profile or account information at any time by adjusting that information in your account settings.

Delete Information and Account

You can delete your account by selecting the "Delete Account" option on the Settings screen. After you make a deletion request, we permanently and irreversibly delete your personal data from our systems, including backups. Once deleted, your data, including your account, and activities cannot be reinstated. Following your deletion of your account, it may take up to 90 days to delete your personal information and system logs from our systems. Additionally, we may retain information where deletion requests are made to comply with the law and take other actions permitted by law.

Note that content you have shared with others, such as photos, or that others have copied may also remain visible after you have deleted your account or deleted specific information from your own profile. Your public profile may be displayed in search engine results until the search engine refreshes its cache.

We Ski also provides you the option to remove individual activities you have posted from view on the Services without deleting your account. The activities will typically remain on We Ski’s systems.

Transfers

The Services are operated from the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Services or provide information to us, you acknowledge and understand that your information will be transferred, processed and stored in the United States, as it is necessary to provide the Services and perform the Terms of Use. United States privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.

Retention of Information

We retain information as long as it is necessary to provide the Services to you and others, subject to any legal obligations to further retain such information. Information associated with your account will generally be kept until it is no longer necessary to provide the Services or until your account is deleted. In addition, you can delete some items of information (e.g., profile information) and you can remove individual activities from view on the Services without deleting your account. Following your deletion of your account, it may take up to 90 days to fully delete your personal information and system logs from our systems. Additionally, we may retain information where deletion requests are made to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce the Terms of Use and take other actions permitted by law. The information we retain will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information connected to you that is no longer necessary and relevant to provide our Services may be de-identified or aggregated with other non-personal data to provide insights which are commercially valuable to We Ski, such as statistics of the use of the Services. For example, we may retain depersonalized geolocation information to continue to improve the Services. This information will be de-associated with your name and other identifiers.
