Privacy Policy
Summary: StepsStreak does not collect, store, or share any personal data. All information stays on your device. We only read step count data from Apple Health to power the app's core functionality.
1. About This Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how StepsStreak ("the App", "we", "our") handles information when you use our iOS application. By using StepsStreak, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Access
StepsStreak requests permission to read health data from Apple HealthKit. The only data type we access is:
- Step Count (HKQuantityType .stepCount) — used to display your daily step progress and determine whether you have met the 10,000-step daily goal.
We request this permission explicitly through iOS's standard HealthKit authorization dialog. You may deny this permission at any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → StepsStreak.
3. How We Use This Information
Step count data is used solely to:
- Display your step progress ring on the dashboard
- Determine whether you met the daily goal (10,000 steps)
- Track your 21-day challenge streak
- Show your history grid for the current challenge
This data is never used for advertising, analytics, or any purpose beyond delivering the app's stated functionality.
4. Data Storage
All app data — including your challenge records, day history, and streak — is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device and is not backed up to any server operated by us.
Your step data remains in Apple Health and is governed by Apple's own privacy policy. StepsStreak only reads from Apple Health; it does not write to it.
5. Data We Do Not Collect
StepsStreak does not collect, transmit, or store:
- Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number, device ID)
- Location data
- Usage analytics or crash reports
- Advertising identifiers
- Any data from Apple Health other than step counts
6. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share any user data with third parties. There are no third-party SDKs, analytics tools, or advertising networks integrated into StepsStreak.
7. HealthKit-Specific Disclosures
In compliance with Apple's HealthKit guidelines:
- HealthKit data will not be used for advertising or other use-based data mining.
- HealthKit data will not be sold to third parties, including data brokers, advertising networks, or data analytics providers.
- HealthKit data will not be disclosed to third parties for any purpose without user consent, except as required by law.
8. Children's Privacy
StepsStreak is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app and provided any personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
9. Data Retention & Deletion
All app data is stored locally on your device. To delete all StepsStreak data:
- Delete the app from your device to remove all locally stored challenge and streak data.
- To remove step data access, go to Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → StepsStreak and revoke permissions.
10. Security
Since StepsStreak does not transmit any data, there is no server-side exposure risk. Data stored locally on your device is protected by iOS's built-in security and encryption mechanisms.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
