SUMMIT — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
Who we are
SUMMIT is a free mobile climbing game made by Jaco ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have. It applies to SUMMIT on iPhone, iPad and Android.
The short version: we have no accounts and no servers that collect your data. Your progress stays on your phone and, on iPhone and iPad, in your own iCloud account. The game is paid for by ads, and our ad partners use some device data to show and measure those ads. You choose whether they may use it to personalise ads, and you can change that at any time in Settings > Privacy & ads.
What information the game uses
| Information | Where it goes | Why | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game progress and settings (altitude records, coins, camp upgrades, sound and control settings, your ad choice) | Stays on your device. On iPhone and iPad it is also kept in your own iCloud account (Apple's iCloud key-value storage), if you are signed in to iCloud. We cannot see it | To save your game, and so your progress comes back if you reinstall SUMMIT or play on another iPhone or iPad with the same Apple Account | Whenever the game saves |
| Advertising ID (IDFA on iOS, Google advertising ID on Android) | Our ad partners | With personalised ads: to show ads that suit you and measure them. With non-personalised ads, where your phone makes it available: only to limit repeat ads, prevent fraud and measure results, never to personalise | Personalised use only if you choose personalised ads (and, on iOS, allow tracking in Apple's prompt). On iPhone and iPad the ID is not available to anyone unless you allow tracking |
| Device and connection details: device model, operating system, language, IP address, approximate location from the IP address, and how you interact with ads | Our ad partners | To deliver ads, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and measure results | Whenever an ad is loaded or shown, including non-personalised ads |
| Purchase records (which item, its price and currency, a transaction ID) | Apple or Google, who confirm the purchase to the game through Unity In-App Purchasing; a list of recent transaction IDs stays on your device | To give you the coins or Remove ads you bought, exactly once, and to restore Remove ads on a new device | When you buy something, and when the game opens (it checks with Apple or Google for purchases still to deliver or restore) |
| Crash and technical information from the game engine | Unity Technologies | To keep the engine working | As described in Unity's own policy |
We never see or store your name, email address, contacts, photos or payment details. Payments are handled entirely by Apple or Google.
We do not sell your personal information. When you choose personalised ads, sharing your advertising ID with ad partners may count as "sharing" or "selling" under some US state laws; choosing non-personalised ads in the game opts you out of it.
Your choices
- In Europe (EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland): before any ad appears, Google's consent message asks whether our ad partners may use your data. Nothing is shared before you answer, and you can change your answer any time in Settings > Privacy & ads.
- Everywhere else: the first time ads could appear, SUMMIT asks whether you want personalised or non-personalised ads. Nothing is shared with ad partners before you answer. Change your answer any time in Settings > Privacy & ads. The game plays the same either way.
- On iPhone and iPad: if you choose personalised ads, Apple asks whether SUMMIT may track you. If you say no, ads stay non-personalised. You can change this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- On Android: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings > Google > Ads (the exact path varies by phone).
- Fewer ads: the optional Remove ads purchase stops the ad breaks between climbs. Watching an ad to continue a climb or to double your coins is always your choice.
- Delete your game data: uninstalling SUMMIT deletes everything it saved on your device. On iPhone and iPad your iCloud copy stays, so your progress comes back if you reinstall. To delete that copy too, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage (or Storage), choose SUMMIT and delete its data, or turn off iCloud for SUMMIT. Settings > Reset expedition clears your progress but keeps your coins.
Our partners
These companies receive the information described above and handle it under their own privacy policies:
| Partner | What they do for SUMMIT | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Unity Technologies (Unity LevelPlay, ironSource Ads, Unity Ads) | Chooses and shows ads, connects the game to Apple's and Google's purchase systems (Unity In-App Purchasing), and makes the game engine | Unity Privacy Policy · Do Not Sell or Share |
| Other ad networks LevelPlay works with | Supply some of the ads | Listed in Unity's LevelPlay documentation |
| Google (AdMob and its consent tool) | Shows the consent message in Europe, records your choice, and supplies some of the ads | Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses data from apps |
| Apple | App Store, payments, and iCloud (keeps your game save in your own iCloud account) | Apple Privacy Policy |
| Google Play, payments | Google Privacy Policy |
Children
SUMMIT is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly allow personalised ads for children. If you believe a child's information has been shared with our ad partners, contact us and we will help remove it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or US states such as California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or limit its use, and to withdraw consent. Because we keep no personal information ourselves, the quickest way to use these rights is:
- choose non-personalised ads in Settings > Privacy & ads, or uninstall the game;
- contact Unity through its privacy policy for data its ad services hold;
- or write to us and we will help.
You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
How long information is kept
Game data stays on your device until you uninstall SUMMIT or reset it, and in your iCloud account until you delete it there. Our partners keep ad and purchase data for the periods set out in their policies.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the game.
