Name That Peak is an app published by Jakvab AB (Sweden) that shows the names of the mountains around you. This policy explains what data the app handles and why. Short version: naming peaks happens entirely on your device. Data only leaves it when you use the optional leaderboard, buy the optional supporter pack, or download peak and elevation data for an area. The app contains no ads and no third-party tracking or analytics.
Peak names and heights come from OpenStreetMap. The app downloads peak data for the large region you are in (5° × 5°) from GitHub, so your exact position is not sent. If you tap fetch to load peaks for your exact surroundings, your position is sent to the public OpenStreetMap Overpass service to run that search. Those services handle requests under their own privacy policies.
To work out which peaks are hidden behind nearer terrain, the app downloads elevation tiles for the area around you (or around a photo’s location or a viewpoint you choose) from AWS Terrain Tiles on Amazon S3. Like the peak data, the tiles cover a large area, so Amazon learns roughly which region you are in, but no account or identifier is sent. Downloaded areas are stored only on your device.
When you open a peak’s details, the app asks the public OpenStreetMap API for that peak’s information (for example a Wikipedia link). OpenStreetMap learns which peak you looked at, but no account or identifier is sent.
If you share a view, the app creates a link containing the coordinates, height, direction and name of that view. The link is only sent where you choose to share it. Opening it on jakvab.se loads a simple page that hands the view to the app; nothing about the view is stored by us.
The leaderboard ranks people by the height of the summits they visit each month. To take part you sign in with Apple (iOS) or Google (Android). When you do, we store:
Precise location is only sent when you register a summit visit yourself. The leaderboard server is operated by Jakvab AB on Amazon Web Services in Stockholm, Sweden (eu-north-1). Technical server logs are kept for at most one month.
The supporter pack is a one-time in-app purchase handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never see your payment details. To show the supporter badge, our server checks the purchase with Apple or Google and stores only the fact that your account is a supporter. If a purchase is refunded, the badge is removed.
We process leaderboard and purchase data to provide the features you choose to use (performance of a contract, GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)). We do not sell your data or share it with anyone except the service providers named above (Amazon Web Services for hosting, Apple and Google for sign-in and purchases).
You can delete your leaderboard account at any time in the app (Leaderboard → Delete account). This permanently deletes your account, nickname, summit visits, friends and supporter status from our server, and revokes the Sign in with Apple connection. Data stored only on your device is deleted when you uninstall the app.
Name That Peak is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct and delete your data, and to complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY). For questions about this policy, or to make a data request, contact support@jakvab.se.
