How it works
Privacy
What Summit keeps on your phone, and the little it sends anywhere.
Everything Summit records stays on your iPhone. There's no account and no Summit server.
#What stays on your phone
- Your walks: the path, climb, distance and time.
- Your peak, your progress and your summit shelf.
- Your settings.
Deleting the app deletes all of it.
#What leaves your phone
- Route planning sends your start point, and your end point if you set one, to GraphHopper, the route service. Nothing else goes with them.
- Place search sends what you type to Apple Maps.
Tracking a walk sends nothing. It works in airplane mode.
#What Summit asks for
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Location, while using the app | To record your path and distance, and to start plans where you stand |
| Motion & Fitness | To read the barometer for your climb |
| Notifications | To tell you at halfway and at your target. Summit doesn't ask; they arrive quietly until you turn on alerts |
| Add to Photos | Only when you tap Save to Photos on a walk card |
Summit doesn't sell data or show ads, and it has no analytics.
