Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 6, 2026
This policy explains what Slam Outdoors LLC ("Slam," "we") collects through the Slam app, the web app at slamoutdoors.com/app and slamoutdoors.com (the "Service"), why, and what you can do about it.
The short version: we collect what you log so we can store and sync it for you. We do not sell your personal information, we do not show third-party ads, we use no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
What Slam Collects
What you log. Entries (category, species or objective, date, title, notes, and details such as sex class or weight), photos you attach, and the location of each entry. Location is precise (latitude and longitude) and is only recorded when you tap "Use my location," pick a spot on the map, or choose a place that fills it in. Slam never collects location in the background.
Tag and application records. If you use the tag tracker: preference and bonus points by state and species, draw applications (year, state, species, unit, the fee you entered and the result), hunts drawn, residency, and the deadlines you follow.
Account details. A random user ID created when you first open the app (not tied to your device or any advertising ID). If you create an account, your email address and password (stored securely by our authentication provider; we never see your password). Onboarding choices such as interests and lists. Profile details you add, such as a username, display name, bio and photo. A record of which version of our Terms you accepted and when.
Notifications. If you allow notifications, a push token that identifies the app on your device, your device's platform, operating system version and time zone, and whether notifications are switched on. We keep a log of reminders we sent you so we never send the same one twice and can see whether reminders are useful.
Partner listing activity. When a paid Partner listing is shown to you, or you tap or save it, we record that event (which listing, which screen, what happened, when) against your user ID.
Safety records. If you report or block someone: who reported or blocked whom, the reason and when.
Technical data. Like any internet service, our providers receive your IP address when the app connects to them.
How It's Used
- To store, sync and show your log, records and photos across your devices, including the web app.
- To send reminders you asked for by following a deadline.
- To suggest what to pursue next, using what you have logged and tracked. Paid placements never change these suggestions.
- To measure how often Partner listings are seen and used, and report that to Partners only as totals.
- To keep the Service safe, enforce our Terms and respond to reports.
- To answer you when you contact us.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or give it to data brokers.
Partners and Aggregate Statistics
Slam's business is helping guides, outfitters and other outdoor businesses reach people who are pursuing what they offer. We give Partners aggregate statistics only, for example "this listing was seen 1,200 times this month" or "N users hold points toward elk in this state." These figures:
- are counts, never lists of people;
- are only produced when at least 10 users are in the group, so no individual can be singled out;
- never include your name, email, location, photos or individual records.
If we ever want to share your details with a specific Partner (for example, to pass on an inquiry), we will only do it when you ask us to, at that time.
What's Public
Your log is private unless you choose to make your profile public.
Photos and profile pictures are stored with a hosting provider at web addresses that are long and hard to guess but are not password-protected. Anyone who has a photo's exact address can view it. Do not upload a photo you would not want seen if its link were shared.
Where It's Stored
We use a small number of service providers who process data on our behalf:
| Provider | What they handle | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Your account, log, records, photos, push tokens and the data above | Database, sign-in and file storage |
| Mapbox | Map tile requests (your IP and the area being viewed); an entry's coordinates, once, to work out which country it is in | Maps and region counts. Mapbox usage telemetry is switched off in the app. |
| Expo (and through it Apple and Google push services) | Your push token and the reminder text (state, agency, date). No name, email, user ID or location. | Delivering reminders |
| GitHub | Runs the reminder sender. Logs show counts only. | Scheduled reminders |
| Cloudflare | Hosts slamoutdoors.com and the web app; receives your IP address and standard request data | Website hosting |
| YouTube, Vimeo | Only if you play an embedded video in an article; their own policies apply | Article video |
Your information is stored and processed in the United States.
Retention & Deleting Your Account
We keep your information while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile, Account, Delete account). Deletion is immediate and removes your account, entries, records, push tokens, reminder log and listing activity from our database. Signing out is different: it keeps your account and data so you can sign back in.
Deleting a single entry removes it and its photos. In rare cases a photo file can fail to delete; contact us and we will remove it. Copies may remain in our providers' encrypted backups for a limited period before they are overwritten. You can also request deletion by email at [email protected].
Your Choices
- Location is optional on every entry.
- Photo access is optional and limited to photos you pick.
- Notifications are off until you allow them, and you can turn them off in your device settings at any time.
- Your profile is private unless you make it public.
- You can block and report other users.
Your Rights
You can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your personal information by emailing [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live (for example, California, Colorado, Virginia or the EU and UK), you may have additional rights under local law, including the right to appeal a decision we make about your request. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
Children
The Service is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy in a material way, we will update the effective date and tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
