Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Account data: your email address and authentication details.
• Profile data: name, username, avatar image, country, home dropzone, licence/status, jump count, roles & qualifications and disciplines.
• Activity data: “I’m going” plans, jumps you create or join, and invitations.
• Content you write: chat messages in jump groups and beta feedback you send us.
• Notifications generated for you inside the app.
• Basic technical and security information processed by our hosting and database providers, such as request and error logs.

Why we use it

• To sign you in and keep your account secure.
• To provide the social and coordination features you asked for.
• To prevent abuse and protect users and the service.
• To understand problems and improve the product during beta.

Legal bases

Where EU/Swedish data protection law applies, we generally rely on performance of our service to you (providing the app and its features), our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention and product improvement), and your consent where you voluntarily add optional profile information such as an avatar or qualifications. You can withdraw that by editing or removing the information.

Where your data is stored

DZMates runs on Lovable Cloud, which provides our authentication, database and file storage infrastructure. These providers process data on our behalf in order to operate the app. We do not sell your data and we do not share it with advertisers.

What other users can see

Your profile, planned dropzone days, jumps and messages are visible to other signed-in DZMates users in the relevant parts of the app. Chat messages are visible to the members of that jump group. Please don’t post anything you wouldn’t want the crew to read.

Self-reported skydiving information

Licence, jump numbers, roles and qualifications are entered by users themselves. DZMates does not verify them and they should not be treated as proof of competence or certification.

Retention

We keep your account and profile data while your account exists. When you delete your account we remove your profile, avatar, plans, invitations, notifications and the jumps you organized. Messages you wrote in other people’s jump groups may remain so the conversation stays readable, but they are no longer linked to you and are shown as “Deleted user”. Backups and provider logs may retain traces for a limited period before they expire.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port or object to and restrict our processing of your personal data. Most of this is available directly in the app: edit your profile at any time, and delete your account from Settings → Danger zone.

Contact

During closed beta, the best way to reach us is the “Beta feedback / report a problem” form on your Profile screen. We’ll publish a dedicated privacy contact address before general release.
