Privacy Policy - Step Counter: Unfiltered

Effective Date: January 26, 2026

Summary: We use your HealthKit data strictly to count steps locally. We do not sell your data. We use industry-standard tools for app stability, analytics, and subscriptions.

Health Data (HealthKit)

Step Counter: Unfiltered integrates with Apple's HealthKit to display your daily step count. This data is:

Read-Only: We only read your step count; we do not write data to HealthKit.
Processed Locally: Your step data is processed on your device to determine your progress and trigger notifications.
Not Sold: We do not sell your health data to third parties.

Data Collection & Storage

While your health data stays on your device, we use Google Firebase services to improve the app experience and ensure stability:

User Preferences: We store your app settings (like your goal, deadline, and chosen coach personality) in the cloud (Firebase Firestore) to sync your experience. This is linked to an anonymous identifier.
Analytics: We collect anonymous usage data (e.g., "tutorial completed", "screen viewed") via Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and improve it.
Crash Logs: We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous crash reports to help us fix bugs and improve app stability.

Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services which may collect data according to their own privacy policies:

Google Firebase: For backend services, analytics, and crash reporting. Privacy Policy.
RevenueCat: For managing subscriptions and in-app purchases. Privacy Policy.
Apple App Store: For app distribution and billing.

In-App Purchases

We offer subscriptions and one-time purchases. All financial transactions are processed entirely by Apple via the App Store. We do not process or store your credit card information. RevenueCat is used to validate your subscription status.

Children's Privacy

Step Counter: Unfiltered is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
