Verdict from the label
Not linked to you

Summit collects some data but says none of it is linked to your identity, and none is used for tracking.

Did Summit ask for something?

Tap a prompt to compare it with the label.
Not on the label

Location is not on Summit's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.

Not on the label

User Content is not on Summit's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.

Matches the label

Summit lists Contacts on its label. Limited Access shares selected contacts instead of your whole address book.

Not declared on the label

Summit declares no tracking, so a tracking prompt would contradict its label. Decline it, and consider reporting the mismatch to Apple.

Not on the label

Health & Fitness is not on Summit's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.

A permission is what the app can reach on your iPhone; the label is what the developer says leaves it. They answer different questions.

Reading the label

What Summit's label means for you

Summit's label has 2 types under “Data Not Linked to You”. A data type can appear in more than one section when it is used for different purposes — for example, identifiers used for both analytics and advertising.

Every type on Summit's label is in the “not linked” section, so the developer says the data is stripped of anything that identifies you before it is used. That is typical of anonymous analytics and crash reporting. Not linked is still collected: the data leaves your phone.

The items that deserve the most attention are contacts. Uploading contacts shares other people's details, not just yours.

Calendars reveal where you will be and who you meet. Planner apps may also read your other calendars and reminders. Check the Calendars permission level (full access or add-only) in Settings › Privacy & Security › Calendars.

Among the 152 calendar planners in our snapshot with a label, 41% declare tracking, 60% collect data linked to you and 26% say they collect nothing. Summit lists 2 data types, about the same as the average of 2.9 for this group.

Productivity apps tend to collect the work you do in them — documents, notes and files — so User Content is common. The question is whether it syncs to the developer's servers and how it is protected there.

On your iPhone

Settings to check for Summit

  1. 1

    Contacts

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Contacts. Limited Access shares only the people you select instead of your whole address book.

  2. 2

    Lock the app

    On iOS 18 and later, touch and hold the icon and choose Require Face ID. Anyone who picks up your unlocked phone then needs your face, fingerprint or passcode to open it.

  3. 3

    Notifications

    Settings › Notifications › Summit › Show Previews: When Unlocked keeps message and account details off the Lock Screen.

Cross-app tracking

iOS 18 and later

Lock Summit behind Face ID

  1. Find Summit on your Home Screen or in App Library.
  2. Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
  3. Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
  4. Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. Summit now asks for authentication every time it opens.

The lock is an iPhone feature, so it works whether or not Summit has a passcode of its own. It does not change what the app sends to its developer.

Read with care

What the label cannot tell you

  • A label is self-reported. Apple publishes the developer's answers and can reject apps that misrepresent them, but it does not independently verify what Summit sends.
  • It does not say where data is stored, how long it is kept, whether it is encrypted, or which companies receive it. The privacy policy covers those points.
  • Optional data counts: if a feature lets you add something (a profile photo, a phone number), the type is listed even if you never use the feature.
  • Data handled only on your iPhone is not 'collected', so a no-collection label is compatible with an app that reads your files locally.
  • Third-party sign-in, payment processors and SDKs are supposed to be included, but a label can lag behind a new version.

The question to ask Summit's developer: Does it need to read my calendars, or only add events?

Quick quiz

True or false?

    Right.
    Not quite.

    False: there is no Data Used to Track You section on Summit's label.

  2. Q2Apple tests every app to confirm its privacy label is accurate.
    Right.
    Not quite.

    Labels are self-reported by developers. Apple can reject or remove apps that misrepresent practices, but it does not audit each label.

    Right.
    Not quite.

    True: Contacts appears on its label, in the Not Linked to You section.

  4. Q4Data “Not Linked to You” is never sent off your iPhone.
    Right.
    Not quite.

    It is collected and sent; the developer says it is de-identified rather than tied to your account or device.

  5. Q5Tapping “Ask App Not to Track” can stop an app from working.
    Right.
    Not quite.

    Apple's rules require apps to work the same whether or not you allow tracking.

Is Summit safe to use?

Can I lock Summit with Face ID?
On iOS 18 or later, touch and hold Summit's icon and choose Require Face ID (or Touch ID / Passcode). This is an iPhone feature and works for most downloaded apps, whether or not the app has its own lock. If you don't see the option, update iOS.
How does Summit compare with other calendar planners?
Across 152 calendar planners with labels in our snapshot, 41% declare tracking and 26% say they collect no data. Summit lists 2 data types against an average of 2.9.
Does it need to read my calendars, or only add events?
The privacy label cannot answer that. Look for it in Summit's privacy policy or support pages, linked from the App Store listing. Check the Calendars permission level (full access or add-only) in Settings › Privacy & Security › Calendars.
How do I delete my data from Summit?
Apps that let you create an account must also let you start account deletion from inside the app (an App Store rule since June 2022). Deleting the app from your iPhone alone does not delete data already sent to the developer.
