Step Heatmap Wallpaper is provided by pampuli ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how Step Heatmap Wallpaper collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the app.

By using Step Heatmap Wallpaper, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Access and Use

Activity and step data

The app requests access to your device’s activity recognition / step counter sensor in order to read your step count and generate wallpaper progress and daily history.

This data is used to show your steps, progress, streaks, and wallpaper visualizations inside the app.

App settings and usage data stored on your device

The app stores information locally on your device such as:

daily step history

recent step readings

daily step goal

wallpaper style, theme, and layout preferences

watermark/pro unlock status

app state such as permission prompts and sync timestamps

Purchase information

If you buy or restore Pro features, purchase processing is handled by Google Play Billing.

We may store the local unlock status needed to enable your purchased features in the app.

Advertising data

The app uses Google AdMob to load and display rewarded ads for optional feature unlocks.

Google and its partners may collect certain data such as device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, app interactions, diagnostics, and ad performance information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Device/network information

The app may access basic network state to support billing, ads, and related service availability.

User-initiated feedback

If you contact us by email, we will receive any information you choose to include in your message.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

provide step tracking and wallpaper generation features

save your preferences and app settings

enable and restore premium purchases

provide optional rewarded ads

improve app stability, security, and functionality

respond to support or feedback requests

3. How Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share or allow processing of data with third-party service providers only as needed to operate the app, including:

Google Play Billing for purchases and purchase restoration

Google AdMob for rewarded advertising

Google/Android system services where app data backup or restore is enabled on your device

Based on the current app implementation, your step history and wallpaper preference data are primarily stored locally on your device and are not sent to our own servers.

4. Data Retention

Step history, app preferences, and local unlock state are kept on your device until you clear app data, uninstall the app, or remove them through device/app controls.

If Android backup is enabled on your device, some app data may be included in backup/restore processes managed by Google.

Data processed by Google Play Billing or AdMob is retained according to Google’s own policies.

You can:

deny or revoke Activity Recognition permission in your device settings

disable notifications in device settings

7. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information used by the app. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
