At Chihiking Gearline, your expedition projects, gear records, and field data belong entirely to you. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Chihiking Gearline application.
1. Information We Collect
Chihiking Gearline collects no personal data. Every expedition project, gear entry, and route record you build inside the app stays exclusively on your device.
We do not require account creation or user registration of any kind
We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
We do not access or track your location
We do not monitor your usage patterns, session frequency, or in-app behavior
We do not gather analytics, telemetry, or any field data that leaves your device
Every expedition project, route sector, terrain assignment, gear catalog entry, weight class record, thermal rating, supply cycle plan, pack balance simulation, hydration demand parameter, field handbook entry, knot guide, seasonal configuration, and emergency fallback module you create within Chihiking Gearline stays entirely on your device.
2. How Your Data Is Used
We collect no data — therefore we process none. Every feature within Chihiking Gearline, including expedition project building, readiness tracking, load pressure analysis, survival stability metrics, gear cataloguing, route sector division, supply simulation, pack balance modelling, and personal field handbook management, operates entirely on-device. No information is transmitted to, processed by, or accessible through any external system at any point during your use of the app.
3. Local Storage
All content you create within Chihiking Gearline is stored locally on your device only.
No expedition projects, gear records, or route plans are uploaded to cloud servers
No supply cycles, simulation parameters, or field notes are transmitted over any network
We have no access to your expeditions, your gear archive, or your field handbook
Your expedition workspace — built route by route, sector by sector, season by season — stays exactly where it belongs: with you and your field team.
4. Third-Party Services
Chihiking Gearline does not integrate with any third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, behavioral tracking tools, or external data services of any kind.
No advertising or retargeting networks
No behavioral analytics or user profiling tools
No data-sharing arrangements with any outside parties
No embedded tracking SDKs or libraries of any kind
Your experience inside Chihiking Gearline is entirely private, offline, and self-contained.
5. Data Security
Chihiking Gearline is built as a fully local, offline-first application with no external network dependencies for its core functionality. Your expedition data and field records are never exposed to outside systems. We follow responsible development practices to ensure the app remains stable, reliable, and consistent with its privacy-first design throughout its lifecycle.
6. Children's Privacy
Chihiking Gearline does not collect personal data from any user, regardless of age. Since no information is gathered, processed, or transmitted externally at any point, the application is fully compliant with children's privacy standards, including those outlined in COPPA. The app is inherently safe and private for users of all ages.
7. Your Rights and Control
You have complete and exclusive control over your data at all times:
Edit or delete individual expeditions, gear entries, route sectors, and field records directly within the app
Clear all stored data through your device's built-in application settings
Remove all content permanently and completely by uninstalling the application
No external accounts, server-side backups, or copies of your data exist at any point
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
