5. Step Sensor and Background Activity Tracking

PuffWalk may access the device's step/activity sensor to count and track steps.

Step tracking may continue when PuffWalk is running in the background or when the device screen is turned off, depending on the device's operating-system permissions and settings.

The step information is used to:

• Display step counts

• Calculate activity statistics

• Track progress toward step goals

• Display fitness progress

• Support PuffWalk's activity and wellness features

PuffWalk does not request location permission for step tracking.

6. Location Information

PuffWalk does not request or collect the user's location information.

PuffWalk does not require GPS, precise location, or background location access for its current functionality.

7. How We Use Information

The information stored in PuffWalk is used to provide and improve the application's fitness and wellness functionality.

For example, information may be used to:

• Calculate BMI

• Estimate BMR

• Estimate TDEE

• Calculate calorie targets

• Calculate nutrition targets

• Track weight progress

• Track daily steps

• Track workouts

• Track food and nutrition

• Track water intake

• Track sleep

• Display fitness statistics

• Show progress toward personal goals

• Provide personalized fitness and wellness information within the app

PuffWalk does not use this information to diagnose medical conditions or provide medical treatment.

8. Local Storage

Currently, PuffWalk stores user fitness and wellness information locally on the user's device using the application's local Room database.

PuffWalk currently does not maintain a remote server copy of this fitness information.

There is currently:

• No PuffWalk user account

• No PuffWalk cloud account

• No Firebase database

• No Firebase Authentication

• No Firebase Analytics

• No Crashlytics

• No third-party cloud storage for the user's fitness information

9. Third-Party Sharing

PuffWalk currently does not sell or share the user's fitness or wellness information with third parties.

The information stored in PuffWalk's local database remains on the user's device unless the application is changed in a future version to introduce additional services or integrations.

If future features introduce third-party services that process personal or health-related information, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate before or when those features are introduced.

10. Advertising

The current version of PuffWalk does not contain AdMob advertising.

AdMob is planned for a future version of PuffWalk.

When advertising is introduced, PuffWalk's privacy disclosures will be updated to describe the relevant advertising technologies and data practices before or when those features are made available.

Because PuffWalk is a fitness/wellness application, health-related information such as weight, BMI, workouts, nutrition, and similar information will not be used by PuffWalk as a basis for personalized advertising.

Google's advertising policies place restrictions on using sensitive health information for personalized advertising.

11. Health Connect

PuffWalk does not currently use or access Health Connect.

Health Connect integration may be considered for a future version.

If Health Connect is introduced, PuffWalk will update its privacy disclosures and request only the permissions necessary for the relevant functionality. Health Connect data is treated as personal and sensitive data under Google Play's policies.

12. Data Deletion

PuffWalk provides an option for users to delete their stored PuffWalk data.

When the user chooses to delete their PuffWalk data, the application deletes the information stored in the PuffWalk Room database, including, where applicable:

• Profile information

• Profile photo reference

• Steps

• Activity history

• Workout history

• Food and nutrition history

• Water history

• Sleep history

• Weight history

• Other data stored in the PuffWalk local database

After deletion, PuffWalk does not maintain a remote backup of this information because the current version stores this data locally.

13. Data Retention

Because PuffWalk currently stores fitness and wellness information locally on the user's device, the information is retained on the device until the user deletes it, clears the application's data, or uninstalls PuffWalk, subject to normal Android device behavior and any operating-system backups outside PuffWalk's control.

PuffWalk does not currently maintain a separate remote database containing the user's fitness information.

14. Data Security

PuffWalk is designed to keep user fitness and wellness information stored locally on the user's device.

We take reasonable measures within the application to protect stored information. However, no method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should also protect their device using appropriate security measures such as a screen lock, device password, PIN, or biometric authentication.

15. Profile Photos

Users may choose to add a profile photo.

The profile photo is used to display the user's profile within PuffWalk.

A profile photo is optional unless a future version of PuffWalk states otherwise.

The current version does not upload the profile photo to a PuffWalk server.

16. Permissions

PuffWalk requests permissions that are necessary for features provided by the application.

For example, step tracking may require access to the device's activity/step sensor.

PuffWalk does not request location permission for its current functionality.

Permissions that are not necessary for PuffWalk's core functionality should not be requested.

Google Play's health-app requirements emphasize limiting health-related permissions and data access to what is necessary for the application's core functionality.

PuffWalk is a fitness and wellness application.

It is not a medical device and is not intended to:

• Diagnose diseases or medical conditions
