Griplog is a private climbing logbook. Your climbing data is stored locally on your device and synced via your personal iCloud account. We never see, access, or collect your routes, notes, or photos.
Data stored on your device
All climbing data you enter into Griplog — routes, locations, events, journal entries, photos, and beta drawings — is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's Core Data framework. If you have iCloud enabled, this data syncs across your personal devices via CloudKit, Apple's private sync service. At no point does this data pass through or get stored on Griplog servers.
Data we do not collect
- Routes, grades, notes, or any climbing activity
- Photos or beta drawings
- Location data or GPS coordinates
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
