Step Quest: Walking RPG — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6/17/2026

Step Quest: Walking RPG (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the App collects, uses, and stores data related to your physical activity for the purpose of gameplay.

This document serves as a foundational draft. Additional sections may be required depending on your region, distribution platform, or legal obligations.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Step Data from Device Hardware

The App may collect step count information directly from your device’s onboard sensors (such as the accelerometer or step counter). This requires your explicit permission.

1.2 Step Data from Google Health Connect

If you grant permission, the App can read step data stored in Google Health Connect. This may include steps recorded by other apps or device services.

1.3 No Other Personal Data Collected

The App does not collect:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, address)
• Location data
• Contact information
• Device identifiers
• Health data other than step count

The App does not create user accounts or require login.

2. How We Use Your Data

2.1 Gameplay Functionality

Step data is used solely to power gameplay features. Examples include:

• Awarding progress for walking
• Completing daily quests
• Advancing skills or in‑game activities

2.2 No Analytics, Profiling, or Secondary Use

Step data is not used for:

• Advertising
• Behavioral profiling
• Analytics or heuristics
• Third‑party sharing

The App does not transmit step data to external servers.

3. Data Storage and Retention

3.1 Local‑Only Storage

All step data processed by the App is stored locally on your device. It is never uploaded, synced, or transmitted to us or any third party.

3.2 Temporary Use

Step data is used only to calculate in‑game progress. It is not retained for long‑term analysis or historical tracking beyond what is necessary for gameplay.

3.3 User Control

You may revoke permissions for device sensors or Health Connect at any time through your device settings. If permissions are revoked, the App will no longer access or process step data.

4. Permissions

The App requests the following permissions:

4.1 Physical Activity / Sensor Access

Used to read step counts from device hardware.

4.2 Health Connect Permissions

Used to read step data stored in Google Health Connect.

These permissions are optional but required for full gameplay functionality. The App will not access these data sources without your explicit consent.

5. Third‑Party Services

The App does not use:

• Third‑party analytics SDKs
• Advertising networks
• Cloud storage
• External servers

No data is shared with any external party.

6. Children’s Privacy

Step Quest: Walking RPG is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Security

Because all data remains on your device, security is primarily governed by your device’s operating system protections. The App does not transmit or store data externally.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top of this document.
