Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 August 2026
SaunaPass ("we", "us") is a UK sauna and wild-swimming discovery app, available on the web at saunapass.co.uk and as an Android app. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
What we collect
- Account details — if you sign up, our authentication provider (Clerk) processes your email address and, for Google sign-in, your name and profile picture. You can browse without an account.
- Location — with your permission, your device location is used to show saunas and swim spots near you. Coordinates are sent to our server only to answer that search; we do not store a history of your locations.
- Content you create — saved places, ratings, reviews and reports you submit are stored against your account.
- Diagnostics — we use Sentry to collect crash reports and performance data so we can fix problems. These reports may include your IP address and device information. They may also include the address of the page you were on and your recent actions in the app, with any search text and location removed. Sentry processes these reports in the EU.
Third-party services
Map tiles are served from our own infrastructure — your device never contacts a third-party map provider. If you search for an area by name, the text you type is sent to Mapbox's geocoding service via our backend to look up matching places; Mapbox only ever sees that search text, never your device's location or IP address. Venue details — address, opening hours, contact information — come mainly from each venue's own website and other public sources. We use Google Maps Platform to help find venues and check they exist, but we don't store Google's content. Some location data comes from OpenStreetMap. Authentication is handled by Clerk. We do not show ads and we never sell your data.
Your choices
- Location permission is optional — you can search by area name instead.
- You can delete your reviews and saved places in the app at any time.
- You can permanently delete your account and all associated data from Profile → Delete account in the app — see how to delete your account. If you can't sign in, contact us at the address below and we'll action it within 30 days.
