Your data, in plain English

My Summit Log is your personal hillwalking logbook. My Summit Log is a trading name of 66 Adventure Ltd. Here’s exactly what we hold, why, and what you can do about it.

What we store

Your walks: date, title, region, distance, ascent, duration, and any notes you write. If you upload a GPX file, we keep the raw file so you can re-export it later. Any photos you attach are stored too.

Evidence records: details you log against a walk for Mountain Training schemes — group size, role, terrain, weather, navigation demands, incidents, and your reflective comments.

Camp nights: the date, type (wild or valley), and a short location description.

Summit detections: when a GPX track passes near a hill, we create a summit bag entry. You can dismiss any that are wrong.

Planned walks: future routes you sketch out in the Plan tab.

Subscription details: if you subscribe to Premium, we store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status so we know which features you can access.

How we use it

Your data powers your logbook — displaying your walks, computing progress toward Mountain Leader qualification, generating Log exports, and showing which summits you’ve bagged.

We don’t sell your data to anyone, and we don’t use it for advertising.

Who can see it

Only you can see your own walks, evidence, and other records. The hill and region databases are shared public reference data — but your personal entries are private to your account.

App administrators can see the hill database but cannot see your personal walks or evidence.

How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all your records are permanently removed from our database.

GPX files and photos are stored on our hosting provider’s file storage. When you delete your account, the database references are removed. File storage cleanup may take up to 30 days.

Third-party services

Stripe handles all payment processing for Premium subscriptions. We never see or store your card details — Stripe manages that securely. We only store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status.

Map tiles are served by OpenTopoMap for the walk map view.

Export everything: You can download a ZIP file containing all your data — every entity as JSON, plus all your GPX and photo files — from Settings → Export all my data.
