Steppin' Privacy Policy

At Steppin', we understand the importance of privacy, security, and accuracy as it relates to your step data and app usage. Here’s how we ensure that your information remains private and secure:

Step Data Privacy

Steppin' collects and stores your step count data in order to provide the core functionality of the app, which is to allocate screen time based on your daily physical activity. This data is only used to track your progress and provide insights within the app. Steppin' does not share your personal step count data with any third parties.

Screen Time Management

Steppin' monitors your screen time on restricted apps to determine when the time limit is reached. This information is used solely for the purpose of helping you manage your digital habits. We do not store or share any personal app usage data beyond what is necessary to provide you with a comprehensive view of your activity.

Protection of Your Personal Information

1. Personal Identifiable Information Collected: We collect and store your email address, username, and basic profile information to personalize your experience and communicate app updates. We do not store any identifying information alongside your step count or screen time data, ensuring your privacy is protected.

2. Security Measure: We implement industry-standard security protocols to protect all data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your personal information and step data are stored securely.

Local Processing and Screen Time Allocation

1. On-Device Processing: Initial step counting and screen time calculations occur locally on your device. This means that your device analyzes your step count and screen time information without transmitting the content to our servers.

2. Automated Systems: All step tracking and screen time calculations are made entirely by automated systems without any human involvement. Your data is only shared between your device and Steppin’s secure servers to provide basic functionality.

Data Security and Retention

1. Data Security: We use advanced encryption techniques to secure data transmission and storage, ensuring that your information is kept safe from unauthorized access.

2. Data Retention Policy: Data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the functionality of the Service and improve the app’s features. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete the data.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

Steppin' complies with all applicable privacy laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
