This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application Pedometer & Step Tracker, developed and published by Bold North Milk Bank, available on Google Play. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we collect and use your data.
We may collect and process the following types of data:
Personal information you provide, such as your name, email, phone number, or payment information (if applicable).
Technical information about your device and usage patterns, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device model, and app usage statistics
Location data, including background location, with your explicit consent.
Step count and activity data: Used for tracking steps and fitness progress.
Device and usage information: Includes device model, operating system, and crash logs.
User-provided data (optional): Weight, height, and age for fitness tracking.
Advertising ID (if applicable): Used for personalized ads (users can opt out).
We do not collect personally identifiable information such as name, email, or contact details unless explicitly provided by the user.
Sensitive personal information (such as your weight, height, and age) is only collected if voluntarily provided by you to enhance fitness tracking accuracy. This information is not shared with third parties and is stored securely, either locally or in the cloud if backup is enabled.
Pedometer & Step Tracker collects your location data, including in the background, to accurately track your steps, distance, and movement patterns throughout the day — even when the app is not actively in use. This enables key features of the app to function, such as:
Step and distance tracking while the app runs in the background
Accurate calculation of movement metrics
Continuous tracking without requiring the app to be kept open
We do not use location data for advertising purposes or share it with third parties for marketing.
We collect precise location data, including GPS coordinates, to calculate your step count and walking distance accurately — even when the app runs in the background. This precise location data is only used for fitness tracking purposes and is never shared for marketing or advertising.
We use your information for the following purposes:
To operate and improve the functionality of our app
To provide personalized insights and progress tracking
To analyze performance and usage patterns for improvement
To respond to support inquiries or fulfill user requests
We may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to improve app functionality and user experience. These may be used for storing preferences, performance analytics, or enhancing features. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect some functionalities.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only with trusted third-party service providers who assist in app functionality (e.g., analytics or crash reporting), under strict confidentiality.
We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect our legal rights or prevent harm.
Under privacy laws such as the CCPA and VCDPA, users have the right to know whether their personal data is shared with third parties. We inform users that personal data may be shared only with trusted service providers (e.g., analytics or crash reporting tools) under strict confidentiality and solely for app functionality.
However, we may use third-party services to enhance our app, including:
Google Analytics: For app usage insights.
Google AdMob: For displaying ads.
Firebase Crashlytics: For improving app stability.
These third-party services may collect data as per their own privacy policies.
We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect your personal data, including encryption and secure data transmission protocols. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure.
Location Data Collection
Our app requires access to background location to track steps accurately even when the app is not actively in use. This data is only used for fitness tracking purposes and is not shared with third parties. Users can revoke this permission anytime in device settings.
We take security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access. Your step count and activity data are stored locally on your device. If cloud backup is enabled, the data may be stored securely on cloud servers.
By using our app, you consent to this Privacy Policy and to the collection and use of your location data as described.
You have the right to:
Request access to your data
Correct inaccurate information
Request deletion of your data
Please contact us to exercise any of these rights.
You can opt-out of personalized ads by resetting your Advertising ID in your device settings or by adjusting your ad preferences in your Google account: https://adssettings.google.com. We do not sell your personal data, but if you wish to opt out of data sharing for advertising purposes, you may also contact us at daihanghang9743s@gmail.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We recommend checking this page regularly for updates.
9. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Data stored on your device (such as step count and fitness metrics) remains local unless cloud backup is enabled. If stored on cloud services, data will be retained securely until the user deletes the app or submits a deletion request. After deletion, data will be permanently removed from our servers within 30 days.
