Elevation Tracker

TERMS OF USE

​

Effective Date: May 13, 2026

​

1. Service Description

The App is an altitude and GPS route tracker for outdoor activities. It records your device altitude, GPS location, distance, elevation gain and loss, speed, and timestamps during a session. The App also lets you import GPX files as a reference trace on the map, export your own recorded sessions as GPX files (Pro), and generate 3D flyover videos of your routes (Pro).

Generated videos and exports may technically differ from on-screen previews due to device performance, connectivity conditions, or rendering variations.

​

2. License

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, in accordance with Apple's standard End User License Agreement and these Terms.

​

3. In-App Purchase ("Pro")

A single one-time non-consumable in-app purchase unlocks Pro features: unlimited daily tracking time, an ad-free experience, GPX export of your sessions, and 3D flyover video generation. All purchases, refunds, and restoration of previous purchases are handled exclusively by Apple through the App Store. A "Restore Purchases" button is available inside the paywall.

 

4. Third-Party Services

• Apple Maps (MapKit) is used to render maps and to generate the 3D flyover content. By using the App you agree to Apple's Maps Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/maps/terms-en.html

• Apple StoreKit handles all in-app purchases and restoration.

• Google AdMob displays ads in the free version of the App. A Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent prompt is shown at first launch to comply with applicable privacy regulations.

The developer has no business relationship with you for these services other than embedding them in the App.

 

5. Content Rights

You retain full ownership of all GPS recordings, GPX files you import or export, and 3D flyover videos generated by the App. The App processes this content locally on your device and does not transmit it elsewhere. You are responsible for ensuring that any GPX file you import was obtained lawfully and that your use of generated videos complies with Apple's restrictions on Maps-derived content (which may prohibit certain forms of commercial or broadcast use without permission).

 

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the App for any unlawful purpose. The App is not a certified measurement device. Altitude, location, speed and elevation readings are approximate values derived from the consumer-grade GPS sensor of your device and are intended for amateur and recreational use only. Do not rely on the App for safety-critical, navigational, aviation, medical, legal, financial, or scientific decisions. When in doubt, consult a certified professional.

 

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. The developer does not guarantee uninterrupted availability or error-free operation.

 

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the App, including without limitation any personal injury, property damage, loss of data, or any other loss, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

9. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version is identified by the Effective Date at the top of this document. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

 

10. Governing Law

These Terms supplement Apple's App Store Terms of Service. Where local mandatory consumer law applies, that law prevails over any inconsistent provision herein.

 

 

 

PRIVACY POLICY

​

Effective Date: May 13, 2026

 

1. Summary

• No account, no login, no personal identifier is ever required to use the App.

• All your tracking data stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded to the developer.

• The App contains no analytics SDK, no tracking pixels, and no third-party crash-reporting service. The developer does not operate any server and never receives your usage data.

• The only external services involved are Apple (App Store, MapKit) and Google AdMob (ads, free version only).

 

2. Data the App Reads from Your Device

• Location and altitude. Read continuously from your device's GPS sensor while tracking is active. Used to display your live position, draw your route on the map, compute your altitude profile, distance, elevation gain/loss, and speed. Background tracking is optional and controlled by a Background Mode toggle in the App's Settings.

• Photo Library (write-only). When you export a generated 3D flyover video, the App writes the video file into your Photos library. The App holds an "Add only" permission and cannot read existing photos.

• GPX files you choose to import. The App reads only the file you explicitly select through the iOS document picker.

 

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

• Trip history. Each recorded session (points, statistics, optional map thumbnail) is saved in the App's private container on your device. Sessions persist across app launches until you delete them manually.

• App settings. Your preferences (units, altitude reference, display options) are stored locally.

• Purchase status. A flag indicating whether you own the Pro in-app purchase is stored locally.

None of this data is transmitted to the developer or to any third-party server controlled by the developer.

 

4. Third-Party Services

• Apple Maps (MapKit). Apple processes standard map-tile requests when you scroll or view the map. Apple's privacy policy applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

• Apple App Store and StoreKit. Apple — not the developer — processes your in-app purchase, including any payment information.

• Google AdMob (free version only). Ads are served by Google AdMob. At first launch, a Google UMP consent prompt asks whether you allow personalized advertising. Regardless of your choice, the App may still display ads — personalized if you consent, non-personalized if you decline. AdMob may also request the App Tracking Transparency permission required by Apple. Google's advertising data practices: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

The developer has no access to the data exchanged between you and these third parties.

 

5. Data the Developer Receives

None. The developer operates no server, integrates no analytics SDK, and has no telemetry or crash-reporting service embedded in the App. The developer never sees your tracks, your routes, your altitude, your location, or any usage statistic.

 

6. iCloud and Cloud Sync

The App does not implement iCloud sync of your sessions. If you have iCloud Backup enabled at the iOS system level, Apple may include the App's container in your encrypted iCloud Backup — this is governed entirely by Apple and your iOS settings, not by the developer.

 

7. International Users

Because no personal data is collected, transmitted, or stored by the developer, no cross-border data transfer is performed by the App itself. Apple and Google may process data internationally in accordance with their own policies.

 

8. Your Choices

You remain in control of your data at any time:

• Stop tracking: tap the stop button in the main toolbar or close the App.

• Disable background tracking: Settings → Background mode.

• Delete a single session: swipe left on it in the trip history.

• Delete all sessions: tap the trash icon at the top of the trip history.

• Reset the current session: Settings → Reset location & elevation data.

• Revoke location permission: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → AltiTrack.

• Revoke Photo Library write access: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → AltiTrack.

• Restore previous purchase: "Restore Purchases" inside the paywall.

 

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may evolve as the App changes. The Effective Date at the top of this section reflects the version currently in force.
