Location Data

AltitudeTracker processes GPS data locally on your device. Your trip data (altitude, elevation gain/loss) is:

  • Processed entirely on your device
  • Never transmitted to external servers
  • Never stored permanently beyond your current session

What We Do NOT Collect

AltitudeTracker does not collect:

Anonymous Analytics

The app collects anonymous usage statistics through Aptabase to help us improve the app. This includes:

This data is fully anonymous and cannot be used to identify individual users. Aptabase is GDPR-compliant and does not use cookies or cross-app tracking.

Third-Party Services

AltitudeTracker only shares anonymous analytics data with Aptabase. The app does not use:
