Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 November 2026
Lift Report tells you when ski lifts open and close. This policy explains what the app collects, what it does not, and why.
It is written to be read. If anything here is unclear, ask before you rely on it.
The short version
Lift Report has no accounts, no sign-up, and no advertising. It does not know your name or your email address, because it never asks. Your location never leaves your phone.
What the app stores about you
When you first open Lift Report, it creates a random identifier and a random secret on our server. These are generated numbers. They are not derived from your name, your email, your phone number, or your device's hardware identifiers, and they cannot be traced back to you.
Tied to that random identifier, the server stores:
- A push notification token, if you turn notifications on. This is issued by Expo's push service and is what lets a notification reach your phone.
- The lifts you are watching, as resort and lift names.
- The date you last used the app, so inactive records can be cleaned up.
That is the complete list.
Your location
If you choose to sort mountains by distance, the app asks for your location.
Your coordinates are used on your phone and are never sent to our server. The distance to each mountain is calculated on the device. Nothing about where you are is transmitted, stored, or logged.
You can decline the location prompt and every other part of the app continues to work.
What the app does not do
- No advertising, and no advertising identifiers
- No analytics or tracking software of any kind
- No selling or sharing of data with anyone
- No profiles, no behavioural tracking, no cross-app tracking
- No email address, name, phone number, date of birth, or payment details
Where the information comes from
Lift status, weather and snow data come from public sources: Liftie for lift status, Open-Meteo for forecasts, and OnTheSnow for resort-reported snow depth, webcams and trail maps. Requesting this data does not send them anything about you.
Notifications
If you turn notifications on, your push token is sent to Expo's push service so it can deliver the alert to your device. Expo receives the token and the text of the notification, which names the lift and its new status. Nothing else is included.
Turning notifications off in your phone's settings stops this.
Keeping it
Your watched lifts and push token are kept while you use the app. Records that have gone unused are removed.
To delete everything, delete the app and ask us to remove the record. Because there is no account, we need the app open to identify the record, so get in touch before you delete it if you want it erased.
Children
Lift Report does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included, because it does not collect personal information at all. There is no account to create and no profile to fill in.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
