Profile and Security

Ana opens her profile on a Sunday evening to update her stats from yesterday's hike. Her organized count is up by one. Her total kilometers is up by 18. The new participants she met show in the "people met" tile. She's also using the page to mark her tent as public — she'll be on a Făgăraș traverse next month and wants the group to know she's bringing a 3-person tent.

Profile is where the personal stuff lives. Identity, settings, gear inventory, your stats, and a back door to security and account-deletion controls.

What's on the profile root

The top of the page shows your avatar, display name, and any role badges (organizer, driver, admin if you have it). Right below, two visual blocks summarize you at a glance:

Stats grid (6 cells)

• Activities organized — how many you ran.
• Activities joined — how many you participated in.
• People met — distinct participants across your activities.
• Total kilometers — sum across organized and joined activities.
• Total elevation — same as above for elevation gain.
• Joined since — your account age.

Numbers are recomputed nightly. They don't update instantly after an activity completes.

Quick-access tiles (5 cells)

Five shortcuts to the parts of the profile you visit most often:

• Saved — your bookmarks. See Favorites.
• Equipment — your personal inventory.
• Cars — your registered vehicles.
• Financial — cost summary across all your activities. See Costs and financial summary.
• Rankings — your #N rank by total kilometers, computed across the active user base.

Below the tiles, an editorial tab strip shows: Logbook, Photos, Feed, Completed.

Profile sections

The main sections of Profile:

Profile (basic identity)

• Display name — what other users see.
• Avatar — picture or initials.
• Birth date — used for age-gated activities.
• Sex / gender — optional, used for activities that need gender-balanced groups (rare, but exists).
• Bio — a short text that appears on your public profile.
• Phone number — required for some activities (emergency contact, transport coordination). Hidden from public view by default.

Preferences

• Language — en, ro, de, fr, es, hu. The app's UI language switches immediately on save.
• Color scheme — terra (default forest), ember, alpine, midnight. Independent of system light/dark.
• Unit system — metric or imperial. Affects distance, elevation, and speed throughout the app.
• Notification preferences — see Updates for the per-category toggles.

Security

The most important section. Here you can:

• Enable / disable biometrics — Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint. Biometrics never leave the device.
• Create or change password — useful if you started with social login.
• Linked sign-in providers — see which of Google / Facebook / Apple are linked, link more, or unlink.
• Active sessions — see where your account is signed in (device, location, last active). Sign out remote sessions.
• Deactivate account — your data is hidden but kept; reactivate by signing in.
• Delete account — start GDPR deletion with a grace period.

Equipment

Your personal gear inventory. Each item has:

• Type — harness, helmet, rope, tent, sleeping bag, etc.
• Notes — size, model, condition, anything you'd want to remember.
• Public toggle — hidden by default. When enabled, the item shows on your public profile so other participants can see what you typically carry.

Use this when joining activities — the join sheet pulls eligible items from your inventory automatically.

See Equipment for how the inventory feeds into activity equipment boards.

Cars

Vehicles you own and might use to drive others. Each car has:

• Make / model (free text).
• Total seats (driver included).
• Notes — useful detail like "minibus, very high clearance" or "small city car, fits 4 max".

When you publish a transport offer, the car you list here pre-populates the seat count.

Emergency contact

A name, phone number, and relationship for someone who should be contacted in case of trouble. This is required before joining activities marked as higher-risk (alpine, technical, multi-day with exposed sections).

The contact's information is shared only with the activity organizer and only for activities that require it. It's never on your public profile.

Social

Optional social links you choose to make public:

• Instagram, Facebook, website URL, YouTube, etc.

Useful for organizers who want to share their hiking blog or Instagram for trip references. Adds nothing if you don't want it.

About

Meta-information about the app and your local cache:

• App version and build identifier.
• Local storage diagnostics — how much data is cached locally.
• Clear local cache — wipe the local cache (preserves account data, just makes the next online sync re-fetch).
• Clear offline actions — wipe the local outbox (the queue of changes waiting to sync). Use only if a queued action is stuck and you don't mind losing it.
• Links to Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Support.

Public profile

What other users see when they tap your avatar:

• Avatar, display name, role badges.
• Bio (if set).
• Stats: number of activities organized, number joined, average rating from completed activities (see Reviews).
• Public equipment items — only items you marked public.
• Activities you organized that are still public (organizer's past activity log).

What they don't see:

• Your phone number, email, birth date.
• Your private equipment items.
• Your financial summary.
• Your saved activities.
• Your messages.

This split is deliberate and not configurable.

Profile completion

The first time you sign up, the app calculates a "profile completeness" percentage based on which fields are filled. It's a soft prompt, not a gate — you can use the app at 30% completion. The prompt fades once you're at 80%+.

Some fields (like emergency contact) only become required when you try to join an activity that needs them.

When something looks off

• My stats haven't updated. Stats recompute nightly, not instantly. Wait a day. If they're still off after 48 hours, contact Support.
• A linked provider unlinks itself. Apple's relay-email rotation can sometimes cause this. Re-link from Security.
• Biometrics stop working. Often a system-level change (you re-registered your fingerprint). Re-enable in Security.
• My public profile shows an item I marked private. A sync lag. Pull to refresh on the profile page; the public view should reconcile.
• Clear local cache nuked something I wanted. Local cache only holds derived data — it doesn't hold anything original. Worst case, the next online sync takes a moment longer.
• Account deletion progressing too slowly. GDPR deletion has a grace period (default 30 days). Within that window the deletion can be cancelled by signing in. After the window, completion takes another few days for backups to age out.
