Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Climb is a personal climb-recorder. When you tap Start, Apple's CMAltimeter begins streaming relative altitude readings from your iPhone's barometer hardware. When you tap Stop, the app saves the session as a dated entry: the altitude samples, the total elevation gain, and the session duration. The app never reads your GPS location, never opens the camera or microphone, and never asks for photos or Health data. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Climb is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No location permission, no GPS. CMAltimeter reads only the barometer chip, which measures air pressure. The app does not know where you are, does not record routes, and does not draw maps.
• No microphone, no camera, no photos library access.
• No contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

Motion permission (barometer)

Pink Climb uses Core Motion to read relative altitude. Depending on your device and iOS version, the system may surface a Motion & Fitness permission prompt the first time you tap Start (governed by the NSMotionUsageDescription key). The permission is used only to read barometric-pressure-derived altitude changes while a session is running. Pink Climb does not read step counts, activity classification, or any other motion data.

When you tap Stop, altimeter updates stop immediately. Pink Climb does not run a background session and does not keep the barometer awake when the app is closed.

What stays on your device

• Your climb entries (the JSON array of altitude samples recorded during the session, the start and end timestamps, the session duration, the total elevation gain computed from the samples, and an optional note). Stored in on-device SwiftData.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes everything Pink Climb has stored.

No on-device language model, no generative content

Pink Climb does not use Apple's Foundation Models, Image Playground, or any other generative model. Every number you see in the app is a direct measurement from your iPhone's barometer hardware; nothing is generated or synthesized.

Lock Screen widget

Pink Climb Pro includes a Lock Screen widget that shows today's climb count. The widget reads only the count and the timestamp of the most recent session from an App Group container on your device. Nothing is sent off the device for the widget to function.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Climb Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Climb is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Climb does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke Motion permission, use iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Motion & Fitness. To remove all on-device state, delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync or sharing), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
