This Privacy Policy applies to the Steppy: Widget Pet Walker app (hereby referred to as "Application") created by Ibragimov Ibragim as an Ad Supported/Freemium service. This service is provided for use "AS IS."
1. Information Collection and Use
The Application collects minimal data to function. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not store your personal information on any external servers.
A. Health and Fitness Data (Step Count)
To function as a fitness-based game, the Application requests permission to access your physical activity data (specifically Step Count) via Apple HealthKit (on iOS) or Google Fit/Health Connect (on Android).
- How we use it: This data is read locally on your device solely to calculate the mood and status of your digital character (e.g., the Sloth).
- Storage: This health data is not transmitted to our servers or stored by us. It remains on your device.
- Sharing: We do not share, sell, or use your health data for advertising or marketing purposes.
B. Non-Personal Data (Analytics)
We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage data. This helps us understand how many users are playing, which features are popular, and if the app crashes.
- Data collected includes: Device model, OS version, session duration, and crash reports.
- No PII: This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
2. Data Storage and Retention
- Local Storage: All game progress, including your pet's status, coins, and unlocked skins, is stored locally on your device.
- No Backend: We do not operate a backend server. If you delete the Application or factory reset your device, your game progress and local data will be permanently lost.
3. Third-Party Service Providers
The Application may use third-party services that collect information used to identify your device for analytics or fraud prevention purposes.
