> 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.
