Privacy and data
Participants trust the program with their location. This page sets out what the platform holds and who can see it, so you can answer their questions with confidence.
What the platform collects
- Drives on the corridor roads only: US-191 between Bozeman and Big Sky, MT-64, and the roads to the Mountain Village, Montage, Moonlight Basin and the Yellowstone Club. The app does not record anywhere else, so homes and errands in town are never captured.
- What the participant chose to give at sign-up: an optional first name, their employer's join code, the area they commute from (Bozeman, Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Big Sky), driver or rider, and usual departure time and days.
What it never collects
No addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, contacts, photos, or location away from the corridor roads.
Who sees what
| Program staff | Employer contact | Other participants | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Totals and charts | Whole program | Their employer only | No |
| A participant's name, area, trip counts | Yes | Their own staff only | No |
| A participant's routes or trip times | No | No | No |
| Who rides with whom | No | No | Only their own partners, by first name |
Nobody using the dashboard can see where an individual went or when. Reports are counts.
How long drives are kept
The detailed GPS recording of a drive is kept 14 days, long enough for a partner's late upload (from the canyon's dead zone) and for staff to look at a review item, and longer only while How's the Canyon? hasn't received it yet. After that the platform keeps the summary: which road, when, how far, shared or not.
How's the Canyon?
Participants can choose, during sign-up and at any time in Settings, to send their drive times to How's the Canyon?, the road conditions app for US-191. What is sent is the drive itself (road, times and the recorded path) under a random code. It carries no name, employer or program link, and How's the Canyon? cannot connect it to a person.
Leaving and deleting data
A participant can leave and delete everything held about them from the app: Settings → Leave the program and delete my data. Their drives, rewards, partners and invitations are deleted immediately. Program totals for past months keep the shared trips they were part of, as counts.
If a participant asks you to delete their data and can't use the app, contact your platform contact.
