Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026

Steps Unlock ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Data We Collect

The following data is stored on your device only and never sent to our servers:

• Step count and walking data (read from Apple Health)
• Daily step goals and app preferences
• Selected apps to lock (managed via Apple Screen Time)
• Notification preferences
• Subscription status

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any personal contact information
• We do not track your location
• We do not access your browsing history, messages, photos, or contacts
• We do not use advertising SDKs or tracking pixels
• We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to third parties for advertising or marketing
• We do not use analytics SDKs — no Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar tools

3. Apple Health (HealthKit)

Steps Unlock reads step count data from Apple Health to track your daily walking progress. This data is read locally on your device, never uploaded to any server, never shared with third parties, and used solely to determine whether your daily step goal has been met. We do not write data to Apple Health.

4. Apple Screen Time (FamilyControls)

Steps Unlock uses Apple's Screen Time APIs (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, DeviceActivityMonitor) to lock and unlock apps based on your step goal. App selection tokens are stored locally, never transmitted off your device, and managed entirely through Apple's privacy-preserving framework. We cannot see which specific apps you selected — only opaque tokens.

5. Notifications

Steps Unlock sends local notifications (step reminders, goal progress, unlock alerts). These are generated entirely on your device. We do not use push notification servers.

6. Subscriptions

Subscriptions are processed by Apple through your Apple ID. RevenueCat manages subscription status using anonymous identifiers. We do not store credit card numbers or billing addresses.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account
• Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• Manage or cancel in: iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions

7. Children's Privacy

Steps Unlock does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us.

8. Data Retention

All app data is stored locally on your device. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. RevenueCat retains anonymous subscription records according to their retention policy.

9. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data on our servers, there is no personal data for us to delete, export, or modify. All your data lives on your device and can be removed by deleting the app.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
