Privacy Policy

Steps Block ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our iOS application.

Information We Collect

Health Data

With your permission, Steps Block reads your step count data from Apple Health. This data is:

• Used solely to track your progress toward your daily step goal
• Never transmitted to any external servers
• Never shared with third parties
• Stored only on your device

Screen Time Data

Steps Block uses Apple's Screen Time API to manage app restrictions. This data is:

• Managed entirely by Apple's frameworks
• Never accessible to us or transmitted off your device
• Protected by Apple's privacy safeguards

App Settings

Your preferences (step goals, wake time, blocked apps) are stored locally on your device using Apple's standard storage mechanisms.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Personal identification information (name, email, etc.)
• Location data
• Usage analytics or tracking
• Advertising identifiers
• Any data transmitted to external servers

No Backend Servers

Steps Block operates entirely on your device. We do not operate servers that collect, store, or process your data. There is no account creation, no cloud sync, and no data transmission.

Third-Party Services

Steps Block integrates with the following Apple services:

• Apple Health (HealthKit) - To read your step count
• Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) - To manage app restrictions
• App Store (StoreKit) - To process subscription purchases

These services are governed by Apple's privacy policies. We do not receive or store any data from these services beyond what is necessary for the app to function on your device.

Subscription Purchases

Subscription purchases are processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Apple handles all billing and provides us only with anonymized purchase confirmations.

Children's Privacy

Steps Block is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us.

Data Security

Since all data remains on your device and is managed by Apple's secure frameworks, your data benefits from iOS's built-in security features including:

• Device encryption
• Secure Enclave protection
• App sandboxing

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
