SlabPrivacy Policy
Slab (“we”, “our” or “us”) is an app by PeakHut that shows snow forecasts, avalanche bulletins, piste maps and mountain weather, records your days on the mountain, and with Slab Pro plans and guides your day (the “App”). This policy explains what information the App uses, why, and who it is shared with.
Slab has no accounts. We don’t ask for your name or email address to use the App, and we don’t sell your personal information or use it for advertising.
1. Information we use
- Location. If you allow it, your device location is used to find nearby resorts, show conditions where you are, and guide you on the mountain. If you record a day, the App also uses your location while it runs in the background, until you stop recording.
- Recorded days. Runs, lifts, speed, distance and vertical from days you record are stored on your device.
- Mountains and settings. The resorts you follow, your preferences (for example units and ability level) and day plans are stored on your device.
- Questions and plans (Slab Pro). When you ask the mountain a question or plan a day, the text you type and the mountain information it concerns (the resort, its pistes and lifts, the forecast, and preferences such as ability level) are sent to process your request. See section 3.
- Purchases. Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We receive an anonymous app user identifier and your purchase and subscription status, through RevenueCat, so the App can unlock Slab Pro. We never see your payment details.
- Technical data. Like any app that loads data from the internet, requests to our servers and data providers include your IP address and basic device and app information. We use it to deliver data, keep the service secure and fix problems.
2. How we use it
- To provide the App’s features: forecasts, bulletins, maps, webcams, recording, planning and guidance.
- To unlock and restore Slab Pro.
- To keep the App reliable and secure, and to answer support requests.
- To comply with the law.
3. AI features
Some Slab Pro features use AI models from third parties: Ask the mountain, the day plan and Flake News, the written snow report. For these features, the text of your request and the mountain information described above are sent to our model gateway and on to the model providers, including Anthropic (Claude) and TypeSafe, to produce an answer. We don’t send your name, contact details or recorded days. Providers process this information only to answer the request, under their own terms. If you don’t use these features, nothing is sent to an AI provider.
4. Who we share information with
- Service providers that run the App for us: hosting, our data servers, the AI providers above, and RevenueCat for subscriptions.
- Data providers that deliver weather, snow, avalanche, map and webcam data, such as Open-Meteo, Météo-France, Mapbox, OpenStreetMap and RainViewer. Map and weather requests can include the area you are looking at.
- Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect rights, safety and security.
We don’t sell personal data and don’t share it for advertising. Slab doesn’t include advertising or third-party analytics.
5. Legal bases
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent (for example location access), on providing the service you asked for (for example Slab Pro), on our legitimate interests (security and reliability), and on legal obligations.
6. Your choices
- Allow, limit or turn off location access in iOS Settings at any time.
- Don’t use the AI features if you don’t want your requests processed by an AI provider. The rest of the App works without them.
- Unfollow resorts in the App, or delete the App to remove everything it stored on your device.
- Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account settings.
7. Retention
Information on your device stays there until you delete it or the App. Server logs and request data are kept only as long as needed to run and secure the service, then deleted or anonymised.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No system is completely secure, but we work to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration.
9. Children
Slab isn’t directed at children under 13, or the minimum age in your country. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. International transfers
Information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Because Slab has no accounts, most of your information is only on your device. To make a request, contact us.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. We will post the new version here and change the effective date.
