2.2 Sensor Data

• Barometer: Atmospheric pressure readings for altitude calculation
• Magnetometer: Compass heading and direction data
• Accelerometer/Gyroscope: Device orientation for AR camera features

2.3 Camera and Media

• Photos and Videos: When you use the watermark camera or AR camera features, we access your camera to capture images and videos

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 Core Functionality

• Calculate oxygen levels based on altitude
• Generate watermarked photos with location and altitude data

3.2 Local Storage

All your tracking data, including GPS coordinates, altitude records, and journey statistics, are stored locally on your device using SQLite database. We do not upload your personal location data to remote servers.

3.3 Terrain Data

To provide AR horizon and peak identification features, we download publicly available terrain elevation data (SRTM) and store it locally on your device for offline use.
