Trail Data and Third-Party Content

Outsync’s Curated Trail Dataset. Outsync provides a curated dataset of real, verifiable trails sourced from publicly available data, including OpenStreetMap (OSM), the National Park Service, and various state and federal geographic information sources. Required data source attributions and license notices are maintained at outsync.io/data-sources. While we make reasonable efforts to verify trail information, on-the-ground conditions change frequently and we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or current status of any trail in our dataset. Always verify trail conditions, accessibility, and safety information through authoritative sources before your trip.

 

Third-Party Trail Imports. Outsync allows you to share or import trail information from third-party applications and services such as AllTrails or other outdoor platforms. By importing such content, you represent and warrant that:

  • You have the right to share the content with Outsync

  • Your import does not violate the terms of service of the source application

  • You will not import content that you know to be inaccurate, unsafe, or misleading

 

Outsync does not control, verify, or endorse content imported from third-party services. We are not responsible for the accuracy, safety, or legality of any third-party trail data you import. Your use of imported content is at your own risk.

 

Attribution and Open Data Licenses. Portions of Outsync’s trail dataset are derived from openly licensed sources, including data licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL) by OpenStreetMap contributors. Required attribution and license notices are maintained at outsync.io/data-sources. If you redistribute, export, or otherwise reuse trail data obtained from Outsync, you are responsible for complying with the underlying data licenses.

Third-Party Integrations

Calendar Integrations

Outsync integrates with both Google Calendar and Apple Calendar so you can sync your scheduled hikes with the calendar of your choice.

​

Google Calendar. By granting Google Calendar permissions, you authorize Outsync to create, modify, and delete calendar events related to your scheduled outdoor activities. Your use of Google services through our app is governed by Google's Terms of Service in addition to these Terms. You can revoke this access at any time through your Google Account settings or through the Outsync Integrations screen, without affecting your Outsync account.

​

Apple Calendar. By granting Apple Calendar permissions, you authorize Outsync to create, modify, and delete calendar events related to your scheduled outdoor activities. Your use of Apple services through our app is governed by Apple's Terms of Service in addition to these Terms. You can revoke this access at any time through your iOS device settings or through the Outsync Integrations screen, without affecting your Outsync account.

​

Session Tokens. Calendar integrations use session tokens that may persist across app sessions until you choose to disable the integration. You can disable any integration at any time through the Integrations screen.

Future Integrations

Outsync may, in the future, offer integrations with health and fitness platforms such as Apple Health, Whoop, or similar services. These integrations would be optional, require your explicit consent, and be subject to the additional terms and privacy practices of those platforms. Use of any such future integration will be governed by these Terms together with any platform-specific terms presented at the time of activation.

Notifications and Location Services

Push Notifications and In-App Notifications. With your permission, Outsync sends push notifications and in-app notifications related to your scheduled activities. These may include:

  • Reminders for upcoming scheduled hikes

  • Weather forecast updates for scheduled hikes

  • Updated gear information for scheduled hikes based on changing conditions

  • Service announcements and account-related messages

 

Notifications are informational. Outsync does not direct you to take or avoid any specific action regarding your outdoor activities. You are responsible for making your own decisions based on the information provided. You can manage notification permissions at any time through your device settings.

 

Location Services. Outsync uses your device location, with your permission, to provide location-aware features such as nearby trail recommendations and conditions at trail locations. If you do not grant location permission, you can manually set a location in your User Profile to access these features. You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.

This license terminates when you delete the content or your account, subject to the exceptions described below.

​

Content Visibility Controls. You control whether your User Content is visible only to you, visible to other Outsync users, or visible to specific groups (where applicable). You can change these settings at any time through the app.

​

Photos and Identifiable Individuals. If you upload photos that include identifiable individuals other than yourself, you represent that you have obtained any necessary permissions for those individuals to appear in content shared on Outsync.

​

​

If you believe content on Outsync infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact legal@outsync.io with a description of the content, the rights at issue, and your contact information. We respond to valid notices in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable law.
