Privacy

Scentinel (scentinel.uk) is a personal, non-commercial project run by Kieron Riley in the UK. Questions or requests about your data: kieronriley6090@gmail.com.

You can use the notebook without signing in. Your ticks, journal notes, bookmarks and photos are then kept only in your own browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to us.

We store:

• your email address (and, if you sign in with Google, the name and email Google shares with us);
• the display name you choose and your confirmation that you are 13 or over;
• your ticked fells, journal notes and planned-trip bookmarks, so they appear on all your devices;
• photos you add to your walks, in private storage only you can read;
• any trip reports you post, including optional hazard pins, and any reports you flag.

Trip reports are public, shown with your display name. Everything else is private to your account.

Your live location (the "Locate me" button works only in your browser), your walk plans or the "Share my plan" message, and payment details. There are no adverts and no tracking cookies.

Account data and photos are stored with Supabase in the EU (Ireland). The website is served by Vercel. Map tiles are loaded from OpenFreeMap, OpenTopoMap and AWS Open Data, which see your device's IP address when your browser requests a tile, as any website you visit would.

We use your data only to run the notebook for you and to show your reports to other walkers. It is kept while you have an account. Reports may be hidden by a moderator if they are unsafe or break the rules.

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or to have your account removed entirely. Email kieronriley6090@gmail.com and it will be done within 30 days. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
