Privacy policy

Land The Trick is run by Fennec Consulting Ltd, a UK limited company, trading as Land The Trick. In data-protection language, Fennec Consulting Ltd is the data controller: the organisation responsible for everything this policy describes, and the one answerable to you for it.

Questions, requests and complaints about your data all go to privacy@landthetrick.com. A human reads it.

If you think we have got something wrong with your data and we have not put it right, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk. We would rather hear it from you first, but that right is yours either way.

An email address and a display name so you can sign in. Nothing else is required.

Your country, and an age band: under 13, 13 to 15, 16 to 17, or adult. Signing up asks for your date of birth, works the band out on your own device, and then throws the date away. It is never sent to us, so there is no birth date here to lose.

The tricks you track, the stages you set, your streak, your badges and any notes you add. This is the point of the app.

Optional details you choose to add: your picture, stance, riding level, goal and the events you mark yourself down for.

How you found us, if you tell us. Setting up your account ends by asking, and you pick from a short list: a friend, YouTube, a skatepark and so on. There is nothing to type, you can skip it, and we keep only which one you tapped. It is there so we know what is worth doing more of.

When you last used the app. One date, replaced each time you come back. Not a list of your visits, not what you looked at, not where you were. It lets us tell an account somebody is using from one nobody has opened in a year. Only we can see it: it is never on your profile, and no other member is ever told when you were last here.

Basic technical data every website gets: device type, browser and rough region, used to keep the service running and secure.

If you are young enough to need a parent or guardian to approve the account, their email address, so we can ask them. See Younger members below.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers. There are no ads in Land The Trick.

We do not show your surname or email address on any public profile.

We do not host video. There is nowhere in Land The Trick to upload a clip, and no video of yours sits on our servers.

We do not track you across other websites.

Nothing you see in Land The Trick is chosen for you by an algorithm. There is no feed, and no guessing at what would keep you here longer.

You choose. Public means anyone with the link sees your tricks, badges and streak. Members only means people signed in to Land The Trick. Private means nobody but you.

New accounts start private. Being visible is a choice you make, not the setting you are handed.

Your crew sees your name and score on the crew board whichever setting you pick, and nothing else of yours goes on the board.

Land The Trick does not host video. There is no upload, and no clip of yours is stored on our servers.

What you can do is add a link to a video you have already put on YouTube. We keep the video’s YouTube reference and nothing else: not a copy, not a thumbnail, not a still.

The video itself stays on YouTube, under YouTube’s terms and their control, and it keeps whatever setting you gave it there. Removing it from Land The Trick does not remove it from YouTube, and removing it from YouTube makes it stop working here.

Every video you add starts private. You choose whether to open it to members signed in to Land The Trick, and a video is never visible to anyone who is not signed in. There is no public setting for one. If your profile is private, your videos stay private too, whatever you set on them: your profile is the limit and a video can only ever be more closed than it, never more open.

The player only loads when you press play. Until then nothing on the page talks to YouTube or to Google.

Delete your account and the YouTube references we hold go with it.

There is no minimum age on Land The Trick. Younger members are welcome, with a parent or guardian who says yes.

Whether that permission is needed depends on where you are: the United Kingdom sets the line at 13, most of the EEA sets it at 16, and elsewhere we use 13. Your country picks the line and we apply it when you sign up.

If you are below the line we ask for a parent or guardian email address and send them a link to approve the account. Until they do, you can browse the library, track your tricks, write notes and build a streak. You are not visible to anyone else, and you cannot join a crew, submit a spot, mark yourself down for an event or pay for anything.

The same email carries a link that withdraws permission. It works forever, it needs no Land The Trick account, and using it puts the member back to tracking on their own. It does not delete a single trick they have logged.

Permission stops being needed on the birthday your country says it stops being needed. That happens on its own. Nobody has to remember to do it.

If you are in the United States and under 13, we will not sign you up. The rules there ask for a much heavier kind of parental consent than an approval email, and we would rather turn you away honestly than pretend we have built it.

Ask us and we will send you everything we hold on you, or delete all of it. Both are free and we aim to do it within 30 days.

A few things outlive a closed account, under a pseudonym rather than your name: a safeguarding report you made or that was made about you, the note that a parent or guardian said yes or no, the staff audit trail, the record a payment leaves behind, and a spot you put on the map that other riders now use. They are kept because a decision about somebody’s safety, or somebody else’s money or riding, has to stay explainable after the account it was about is gone.

You do not have to wait for us, either. Your account page has a download of everything we hold on you, and a page for closing your account.
