Encryption of data in transit and at rest

Regular security audits and updates
Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and implement appropriate safeguards to protect your information.

10. Third-Party Services

Our App may contain links to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

11. Connected AI Assistants

You can optionally connect your Quiver Beacon account to an AI assistant (such as Claude) through our AI Connector so that the assistant can answer questions about your own riding data and, if you allow it, log ride days on your behalf. See Connect Quiver Beacon to Claude for setup details.

11.1 What Is Shared

Only your own data: ride days, quiver, stats, trail passport, achievements, run records and GPS tracks belonging to the account you sign in with
Only to the assistant you connect: data is sent to that assistant in response to your questions and nowhere else
Riders you follow, only as you already see them: the assistant can read the public ride days of riders you follow and, where those riders have chosen to share it, whether they are on the mountain right now. This is always limited to what those riders already make visible to you in the App; feed posts, followers and other users' records are not accessible
Brand partners only — aggregate product statistics: if you are a brand partner, the assistant can read anonymized performance statistics for your brand's products. These are aggregates only, computed from a minimum of five riders per figure, never identify an individual rider, and leave out riders who have turned off anonymous gear insights (see section 4.4)

11.2 How It Works

Access is authorized with OAuth 2.1; you sign in with your Quiver Beacon credentials and approve the connection
Access tokens expire hourly and are refreshed automatically while the connection is active
Read access is limited to your own data, plus the follow-only social data described above
Write access is optional. The consent page includes a checkbox, "Also let it act for me", which is off by default; tick it if you want the assistant to act for you, leave it unticked for a read-only connection. You can change this at any time by disconnecting and reconnecting
With write access the assistant can log a ride day, rate a board for a day, or add a product to your want list. It asks for your confirmation before every change, changes are limited to 50 per day, and everything it records is editable in the App
The connector cannot delete anything in your account, with or without write access

11.3 What We Log

To operate and secure the service we record which tool was called, when, and how long it took. We do not store the content of the results returned to the assistant or any part of your conversation with it. What you type into the assistant is governed by that assistant's own privacy policy.

11.4 Revoking Access

You can disconnect an assistant at any time in the App under Settings → Connected apps, or by contacting support. Revocation immediately invalidates the assistant's tokens, including any write access you granted.

12. Health and Fitness Data

Quiver Beacon can work with Apple Health on iPhone and Apple Watch, and with Health Connect and Health Services on Android and Wear OS. All of it is optional. We only get health and fitness data after you allow it on your device's own permission screen, and we only use it for the import and activity features described here.

12.1 What We Read and Write

Health Connect (Android): When you open Import Activities and connect Health Connect, the App reads exercise sessions, exercise routes (GPS tracks), heart rate, distance, elevation gained, speed and active calories burned. If you also allow access to past data, it looks back about 12 months; otherwise Health Connect limits it to the last 30 days. The App reads this only while you're in Import Activities, and only the workouts you pick are imported as ride days. The App never writes anything to Health Connect.
Wear OS watch app: When you record a session on your watch, it uses the watch's sensors through Health Services for heart rate, GPS location, speed and calories (plus air pressure, to estimate elevation), then sends the finished workout to the Quiver Beacon app on your phone. The watch app doesn't write to Health Connect either.
Apple Health (iPhone): When you connect Apple Health from the import screen, the App reads workouts, workout routes (GPS tracks), heart rate, active energy and distance so you can import your snow and surf workouts as ride days. The import looks back 12 months by default, and you can pick a different date range. Once you've connected, the App also checks Apple Health on your phone for new workouts from the last 30 days so it can remind you to import them. Nothing is sent to us until you choose to import a workout.
Recording with Quiver Beacon (iPhone and Apple Watch): While you record a session, the App reads your heart rate and active energy. When you finish, it saves the workout, with its distance and active energy, to Apple Health. That workout is the only thing we write to Apple Health.

12.2 How We Use It

When you import or record a workout, it becomes part of that ride day in your account on our servers: the GPS route, distance, elevation, speed, duration, active calories, average and maximum heart rate, and heart rate along the route
We use it only to provide the App's import and activity features: building your ride days, maps, runs and stats, and the season totals, gear stats and recommendations built from your ride days
We do not sell health and fitness data
We do not use it for advertising or marketing, and we don't share it with advertisers, data brokers or anyone else for those purposes
We do not use it to make decisions about credit, insurance, lending or employment
Our cloud hosting providers store it for us and process it only on our behalf. Beyond that, it leaves Quiver Beacon only when you send it somewhere yourself, such as an AI assistant you connect (section 11), which can read your own ride days including their heart rate and calories

12.3 What Other Riders Can See

Your heart rate and calories are private to you by default. If you turn on Show heart rate & calories in Privacy Settings, anyone who can see your ride days sees them too: riders who follow you, and, if your profile is public with Show Activities on, other signed-in riders. You can turn it back off at any time. Ride-day share links you create never include heart rate, calories or your route.

12.4 Your Controls

Disconnect: You can turn off Quiver Beacon's access at any time in Health Connect (App permissions → Quiver Beacon) on Android, or in the Health app or iPhone Settings (Health → Data Access & Devices → Quiver Beacon) on iPhone. Workouts you already imported stay in your account until you delete them
Delete: You can delete any imported or recorded ride day in the App, which removes it, with its route and heart rate, from your account and from what other riders can see. To have all of your health and fitness data permanently erased from our servers, delete your account in the App or email [email protected]

12.5 Health Connect Limited Use

Use of information received from Health Connect will adhere to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the App and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

14. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information.
