Walk Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 August 2026
App: Walk (com.muhtalipdede.walk)
Contact: muhtalipdede@gmail.com

This policy describes how Walk handles information on your device. Walk is a local-first step and journey app. It does not operate user accounts and does not run a Walk backend that receives your activity data.

1. Summary

Topic	Practice
Accounts	None
Backend / cloud sync for Walk	None (MVP)
Step data source	Health Connect on your device (read steps, with your permission)
Where Walk stores data	On your device (Room + DataStore)
Analytics / ads / crash SDKs	None in MVP
Sale of personal data	No

2. Information Walk processes

2.1 Health / activity (sensitive)

With your permission, Walk reads step counts from Health Connect to show daily progress, streaks, journeys, challenges, achievements, and related reminders. Walk does not write steps back to Health Connect in MVP.

2.2 Optional profile inputs

If provided: display name, daily step goal, height and/or weight (for distance/calorie estimates only), unit preference, and notification toggles. Stored on-device.

2.3 Local progress data

Daily aggregates, streak state, XP/level, journey/challenge progress, and achievement unlocks.

2.4 Notifications

Optional local reminders via WorkManager. Notification permission may be requested on Android 13+.

3. How information is used

Only to power in-app progress, estimates, gamification, and optional local notifications. No advertising use, no sale, no Walk-operated server upload in MVP.

4. Third parties

Health Connect / Google: Steps come from platform components under Google’s terms. Manage access in system or Health Connect settings.

Google Play: Distribution and Data Safety disclosures apply. MVP includes no separate analytics, ads, crash, or social SDKs.

5. Retention and deletion

Profile → Reset local Walk data clears Room domain progress (settings may remain).
Revoke Health Connect / steps permission to stop new step reads.
Clear app storage or uninstall to remove remaining Walk data.

Account deletion: Not applicable — Walk has no accounts.

6. Children

Walk is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country).

7. Medical disclaimer

Walk is a wellness and motivation app. Distance and calorie figures are estimates, not medical measurements. Walk does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or guaranteed weight-loss outcomes.

8. International / transfers

MVP processing is on-device. Walk does not transfer Walk-stored activity data to a Walk cloud service.

9. Changes

Updates to this policy will change the effective date and, when required, the Play listing and in-app disclosure.
