Terms of Use

Welcome to BASELog. By downloading, installing, or using BASELog ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

01Acceptance of terms

By using BASELog, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the developer of BASELog ("we", "us", "our").

02Description of the app

BASELog is a personal digital logbook for tracking jumps, flights, and sessions across multiple extreme sports, including but not limited to BASE jumping, skydiving, paragliding, speed flying, speed riding, and wind tunnel flying. The App allows you to record jump data, GPS tracks, equipment details, incidents, weather conditions, and other related information.

03Not a safety device

• These calculations are derived from GPS device data and may contain errors, inaccuracies, signal dropouts, or computational artifacts. They do not replace properly calibrated, certified instruments designed for in-flight use.
• You must always rely on your own training, experience, certified equipment (altimeters, audible devices, visual references), and sound judgment when making decisions related to your safety.

04Assumption of risk

You acknowledge and agree that:

• BASE jumping, skydiving, paragliding, speed flying, speed riding, and wind tunnel flying are inherently dangerous activities that carry a risk of serious injury or death.
• Your participation in these activities is entirely voluntary and at your own risk.
• The App does not reduce, mitigate, or otherwise affect the risks inherent in these activities.
• You are solely responsible for your own safety, the condition and suitability of your equipment, and your decision to engage in any sporting activity.
• The recording, review, or analysis of data in the App does not constitute professional instruction, coaching, safety advice, or equipment certification of any kind.

05GPS data and calculations

• GPS track data imported from external devices (including but not limited to FlySight, phone GPS, and other GPS loggers) is processed by the App to derive performance metrics such as speed, altitude, freefall time, deployment altitude, canopy time, glide ratio, G-force, and distance measurements.
• These calculations depend on the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the GPS signal received by the recording device. Factors such as satellite count, atmospheric conditions, device placement, signal multipath, and recording frequency can significantly affect accuracy.
• We make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any GPS data or calculated metric. The App presents this data as-is for logging purposes.
• Elevation data retrieved from third-party services (such as Open-Meteo) is provided on a best-effort basis and may not reflect actual terrain elevation.

06Equipment tracking

• The App allows you to log equipment details including serial numbers, dates of manufacture, service records, and usage history.
• Equipment tracking in the App is for your personal record-keeping only. It does not replace manufacturer-recommended inspection schedules, professional rigger services, or mandatory equipment certifications.
• We are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any equipment data you enter, nor for any consequences arising from reliance on such records.

07Incident logging

• The App provides the ability to log incidents and injuries for your personal records.
• Incident records are your personal data and are not shared with any third party unless you choose to export them.
• The incident tracking feature is not a substitute for proper incident reporting to relevant authorities, sport federations, or equipment manufacturers as may be required by applicable law or regulations.

08Data ownership

• All data you create, enter, import, or generate within the App belongs to you. This includes jump records, GPS tracks, exit locations, equipment details, incident reports, service records, and all associated metadata.
• We do not claim any ownership rights over your data. We do not access, collect, analyze, sell, or share your data.
• Your data is stored locally on your device and, if you choose to enable iCloud sync, in your personal iCloud account under your Apple ID. We do not operate any servers that store your data.

09Data portability

• You may export your data at any time using the export features provided in the App (JSON full logbook export, exit export, or GPX track export).
• Exported data is provided in open, documented formats to ensure you can access your data independently of the App.
• You are responsible for the safekeeping of your exported data files.

10iCloud synchronization

• If you enable iCloud on your device, the App uses Apple's CloudKit service to synchronize your data across your devices signed into the same Apple ID.
• iCloud synchronization is governed by Apple's terms of service and privacy policy. We have no control over or access to your iCloud data.
• You are responsible for ensuring sufficient iCloud storage space for synchronization. The App will notify you if sync issues are detected.

11Third-party integrations

• FlySight GPS logger: The App communicates with FlySight 2 devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to download GPS track files. This communication is direct between your device and the FlySight unit. No data is transmitted to any third party during this process.
• Open-Meteo Elevation API: When you request elevation data for an exit location, the App sends the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to the Open-Meteo public API. Open-Meteo is a free, open-source weather API. No personal information beyond geographic coordinates is transmitted.
• Instagram sharing: If you choose to share a jump card to Instagram Stories, the App passes an image and optional deep link to the Instagram app via Apple's pasteboard mechanism. This sharing is initiated only by your explicit action.
• Activitough: The App can receive GPS track files from the Activitough companion app via a shared container on your device. This data exchange occurs locally on your device and does not involve any network transmission.

12Spotlight search

The App indexes certain data (jump numbers, exit names, gear names) in Apple's Core Spotlight index to allow you to find your records via system search. This index is stored locally on your device and managed by iOS.

13User conduct

You agree to:

• Use the App only for its intended purpose as a personal sport logbook.
• Provide accurate data to the best of your knowledge when creating records.
• Not use the App or any data derived from it for any unlawful purpose.
• Not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14Intellectual property

• The App, including its design, code, and visual assets, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
• These Terms grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on your Apple devices in accordance with these Terms and the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
