1. About this policy
This policy explains how Altimeter Now handles information when you use the iOS app, visit this website or contact support. For privacy questions, contact the app’s developer at altimeter@pawlocked.com.
2. Location and sensor information
With your permission, the app uses Apple’s Core Location services to obtain altitude, vertical accuracy and, when available, speed, speed accuracy and course. It uses Core Motion to read atmospheric pressure and relative altitude from a compatible device’s barometer.
These measurements are processed on your device to display altitude and pressure, calibrate barometric altitude and calculate elevation changes. Location updates may continue in the background while a measurement session is running. The app does not send these measurements to the developer or store a route or a history of latitude and longitude coordinates.
3. Information stored on your device
The app stores your preferences and session summaries locally using iOS storage. Session information includes an identifier, session dates, ascent, descent and minimum and maximum altitude. The current session is saved so it can be resumed.
Saved information remains until you delete it or remove the app. You can delete completed sessions in Session history. Deleting the app removes its local settings and session data. Apple’s device backup and restore services may include app data according to your system settings; the developer has no access to those backups.
4. Live Activities and system services
The app provides altitude, pressure and elevation change information to Apple’s ActivityKit on your device so iOS can display a Live Activity. Depending on your setup, it may also appear on compatible CarPlay displays or a paired Apple Watch. What is visible depends on your device and privacy settings.
The app uses Apple’s location, motion and system display services. Apple’s handling of information through its own services is governed by Apple’s privacy policy.
5. No accounts, advertising or tracking
Altimeter Now does not require an account. It contains no advertising, third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. We do not collect app measurements on a server, sell personal information or use it for advertising.
6. If you contact support
If you email altimeter@pawlocked.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message or attachments. We use that information to respond and investigate your request, and retain it only as long as needed for that purpose or to meet applicable obligations. Email providers process these messages to deliver and store correspondence.
You can request deletion of support correspondence by emailing the same address. Avoid sending location details or other sensitive information unless needed for your question.
7. This website
This website uses no analytics scripts, advertising cookies or contact forms. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical request information such as IP addresses and browser information to deliver and secure the site. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for information about its processing. This hosting activity is separate from measurements in the app.
8. Your choices
You can change location and motion permissions in iOS Settings at any time. Revoking permission limits the features that use those sensors. Turn off the app’s Live Activity to stop active measurements. Manage or delete completed sessions in Session history, or delete the app to remove its local data.
9. Changes and contact
If the app’s data practices change, we will update this policy and its effective date. For questions about this policy or a privacy request, email altimeter@pawlocked.com.
