Privacy Policy & Data Notice

Summit for Dignity Challenge · Effective 1 August 2026

Who we are

Trail Angels is a women's cycling club based in Cape Town, South Africa. This policy covers data collected through the Summit for Dignity Challenge leaderboard application ("the App"), which connects to your Strava account.

What data we collect

• Your first and last name (from Strava)
• The date and elapsed time of each of your efforts on the challenge Strava segment (Segment ID 41844407) during August 2026
• The Strava access and refresh tokens required to keep your account synced

We do not store your profile photo, location data, heart rate data, or any other activity details beyond the segment effort described above.

Why we collect it

We use this data solely to:

• Display the challenge leaderboard (fastest time, most summits, first-timers)
• Calculate the running donation total (R10 per summit) for the Menstruation Foundation

We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, or any other purpose.

How we collect it

When you tap "Connect with Strava" and authorize the App, Strava shares your name and activity data with us via the official Strava API. We receive a notification via Strava's webhook system each time you log a new activity, and we check that activity for efforts on the challenge segment.

How long we keep it

Your data is retained for the duration of the challenge (August 2026) and for a short period afterward to allow for any prize or donation verification. We will delete all personal data by 30 September 2026 at the latest, unless you request earlier deletion.

Who can see your data

Your name and segment times are displayed publicly on the challenge leaderboard. No other personal data is shared with third parties, except as required by law.

Our backend runs on Render (render.com) and our database on Supabase (supabase.com). Both are bound by their own privacy policies and process data on our behalf only.

Your rights

• Access: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Deletion: You can request that we delete your data at any time. We will confirm deletion in writing within 7 days.
• Withdrawal: You can disconnect the App from your Strava account at any time via strava.com/settings/apps. This stops future data collection immediately.

Strava's role

This App uses the Strava API. By connecting, you are also subject to Strava's Terms of Service and Strava's Privacy Policy. Strava monitors API usage data in accordance with their own policies.
