How Segment Party handles your data

This page explains what data we store, why we store it, and how connected activity and file services are used.

If you subscribe, we use your email address to send SegmentParty product and event updates. We record when and how you consented, the consent wording version and when you withdraw consent. You can unsubscribe in account settings or using the link in each newsletter.

1. What we collect

We collect the minimum information needed to operate Segment Party: account details, session data, uploaded route files, party and stage data, and moderation records.

2. Account data

When you create an account, we store your email address, name, password hash, and settings so you can sign in and use the app.

3. Connected services

If you connect an activity service, we store the authorization tokens and account metadata needed to maintain the connection. Depending on the service and permissions you grant, we may receive activity details, timestamps, GPS tracks, and activity files. We use this data to match activities to Party routes, calculate and moderate results, and prepare results for submission. A result is shared with the relevant Party only after you confirm submission, according to that Party’s visibility settings. Available activity history and controls vary by service.

4. Route files and uploads

Uploaded GPX, TCX, and FIT files are processed to create routes, stages, uploads, and results. We keep the data needed to render leaderboards, moderation views, and audit history.

5. Cookies and sessions

We use essential cookies and session storage so you can stay logged in and use the app securely. We do not use advertising cookies.

6. Anonymous performance telemetry

We use anonymous performance telemetry to measure site performance and identify technical problems. The telemetry service may receive information such as the visited route, browser and device type, country, and aggregated Web Vitals. It does not receive activity details, activity files, or GPS tracks, is not used to identify or profile users, and does not use advertising cookies.

7. Data sharing

We do not sell your data. Activity data may be processed by categories of service providers needed to operate the app: hosting and infrastructure providers, database and storage providers, and transactional email providers, which may process recipient addresses and notification content. Performance telemetry providers receive general site-performance metrics, not activity details, files, or GPS tracks. No AI or machine-learning service processes activity data, and we do not use activity data or derived data to train, evaluate, or improve AI models. After you confirm a result, its time and relevant details may be shared with Party organizers and participants according to the Party’s visibility settings.

8. Contact

You can disconnect a connected activity service in Settings to withdraw connection permission and stop future syncing. Previously imported activities and submitted results remain available in Settings, where you can delete them separately. To request access to, correction of, or export of your data, contact the support email listed in the site footer.
