Your climbing log never leaves your phone.

01What we collect

Nothing about your climbing. Every send, session, project, photo, and note you log stays on your device, in a private SQLite database, and never leaves unless you explicitly export or share it.

The two narrow exceptions

Google Play services

Pyramid uses two standard Google Play features: Play's own in-app update prompt, and its in-app review prompt. Both are handled by the Play Store app on your device. We send it nothing about you, and we receive nothing back beyond whether an update exists.

If you email us

Settings → Send feedback opens your own email app with the app version, your Android version, and your device model pre-filled in the message body, so bug reports arrive actionable. Nothing is sent until you press send in your email app, and you are free to delete any of it first.

02What we don't do

• We don't sell, share, or monetize your climbing data.
• We don't run advertising or third-party analytics.
• We don't track your location, contacts, or other apps.
• We don't require an email, phone number, or account.
• We don't have a server-side database with your sends.
• We don't profile you for ads, recommendations, or AI training.
• We don't ask for access to your photo library — attaching a photo goes through Android's own photo picker, which hands us only the image you picked.
• We don't use your camera without your explicit action (tapping "Add photo").

03Data on your device

Pyramid stores your data locally in:

• An SQLite database — your sends, sessions, projects, and gyms.
• Photo files in the app's private storage directory — only photos you explicitly attached to projects.
• A small preferences store — your theme, grade system, goal grade, reminder settings, and which one-time prompts you've already seen.
• An encrypted preferences entry holding the anonymous purchase identifier described in section 1.

All of this is private to the Pyramid app. Other apps on your phone cannot read it. When you uninstall Pyramid, Android deletes every one of the items above. Files you deliberately saved elsewhere — a backup, a PDF, a CSV, a shared image — are outside the app and stay where you put them.

04Notifications & reminders

Pyramid can send you an optional daily climbing reminder. It is off until you turn it on in Settings, and Android only asks for notification permission at that moment — declining costs you nothing else in the app.

Reminders are scheduled entirely on your device: the app hands a time to Android's alarm scheduler and Android posts the notification back to you. There are no push notifications, no messaging service, and no network involved. The reminder text is generic and never contains details of your climbing. You can switch reminders off in Settings, or revoke the permission in Android's system settings, at any time.

05Backing up your data

Pyramid does not use Android's automatic cloud backup — your data is never mirrored to Google in the background. Instead, Pyramid has its own backup feature (Settings → Back up): it creates a file containing your sends, sessions, projects, and photos, which you can save to your own Google Drive, other cloud storage, or local file system using Android's share sheet. You control if and when a backup is made, and where it goes. Restoring is the same — you choose the backup file, and nothing happens without your action.

A backup you make is the only copy of your data that exists anywhere outside the app, and making one is entirely up to you. Pyramid keeps no automatic second copy of its own.

06Network access

Pyramid makes outbound network requests only for:

• Verifying your Pro purchase (RevenueCat, when the app launches and when it returns to the foreground).
• Sending crash reports (Sentry, only if the app crashed, and only in release builds).
• Asking the Play Store app whether an app update is available, and downloading it if you accept.

You can log, view, and share your climbs completely offline. Internet access is not required for normal use, and nothing about your climbing is ever transmitted.

07Sharing and exports

When you tap "Share" on your pyramid chart or export a PDF/CSV, the resulting file is created on your device and handed to whichever app you choose to share with (Instagram, Email, Files, etc.). The choice of where your data goes is yours. We do not receive a copy of the shared content.

08Children's privacy

Pyramid is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are under 13, please do not use this app.

09Changes to this policy

If we change this Privacy Policy in a future version, the new version will be available at this URL and the app's About screen. Material changes will be noted in the app's update notes.

10Terms of Use

By downloading, installing, or using Pyramid, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

Licence

Pyramid grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own personal climbing tracking. This licence does not transfer ownership of the app to you.

Acceptable use

You agree not to reverse-engineer, decompile, resell, redistribute, or attempt to extract the source code of the app, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law. You are responsible for how you use the app and for the data you choose to log, export, or share.

Your data is your responsibility

Because Pyramid is local-first, your climbing data lives only on your device. We cannot recover it for you if your device is lost, reset, or the app is uninstalled. Please use the app's backup feature (see Backing up your data) to keep your own copy.

No warranty

Pyramid is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Pyramid is a logging and visualisation tool — it is not training, coaching, medical, or safety advice. Climbing and bouldering carry inherent risks; you are solely responsible for your own safety and decisions.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the app.

Changes & governing law

We may update these terms in future versions; the current version always lives at this URL, and continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated terms. These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

11Subscription terms

Pyramid Pro is offered as two purchase options through Google Play, using your Google Play account for billing:

Prices are shown in your local currency at checkout and may vary by region. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its own refund policy, not by us directly — see Google Play's refund policy. Both purchase options unlock the same set of Pro features. The annual plan may include a limited-time free trial for eligible new subscribers; when a trial applies it is shown before you buy, and you can cancel any time before it ends to avoid being charged.

Nothing you have already logged is ever deleted or locked away if Pro ends. Your full history stays on your device; only the Pro-only views of it return to the free tier's range.
