Privacy
Walk Awêh requires no account and does not use advertising or behavioural analytics. Most app data stays on your device. Your browser still contacts the site host to load the app and contacts Open-Meteo when you request weather.
What we store
- Checklists — saved to your device only, keyed to the current date. Each day starts with a fresh checklist; the previous day's entry stays in storage but is never loaded again. Never sent anywhere.
- Weather cache — the last Open-Meteo response is cached in your browser for up to 3 hours so the app works offline. It contains only weather data, not your location.
- Install prompt counters — a visit count and dismissal timestamp stored locally to decide when to show the install nudge. No identifiers.
- Active hike and app preferences — your current hike plan, welcome-screen choice, and similar settings are stored on your device so the app can restore them. They are not uploaded by Walk Awêh.
- Offline cache — the service worker caches app pages and assets on your device. Your browser or operating system can clear this cache.
What we do not do
- No analytics that identify you or track your movements
- No cookies — none at all
- Weather never uses your GPS position — it is fetched for fixed mountain locations
- No third-party trackers, ad networks, or fingerprinting scripts
Emergency location
The emergency page can ask your browser for a one-time GPS fix so you can read or share your coordinates with rescuers. Walk Awêh does not upload or retain that location. Your browser controls permission. Coordinates leave your device only when you choose a share action or open the third-party what3words link.
Weather data
Weather is fetched directly from Open-Meteo (open-source, no API key required). Your browser contacts Open-Meteo directly. Walk Awêh does not proxy or log this request.
