Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect account and profile details, privacy preferences, game progress, and purchase and refund records. When you record a run, we collect precise location, route, timing, distance, and available motion and step-count data. We also receive technical information such as your IP address, app or browser version, and device details.

If you contact us, we receive your message and contact details. The optional website waitlist is separate from an app account; its privacy notice explains email signup and unsubscribe choices.

How we use information

We use your information to provide the game, show nearby content, record and check activities, maintain progress and leaderboards, fulfill purchases, provide support, and improve reliability and security. We do not use it for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

Location, Apple Health, and maps

With your permission, we use location to show nearby content and record runs. A run you start can continue recording in the background or while the screen is locked. Recording stops when you pause, finish, discard the run, or revoke location access. We do not track your location in the background outside a run you start.

Apple Health exports are optional and off by default. If enabled, we save completed runs, including duration, distance, and route, to Apple Health. We do not request access to Health records from other apps. Deleting your account does not remove records already saved to Apple Health; you can manage those in the Health app.

On the website, sharing your location is optional. We use an approximate location to show nearby challenges and keep your selected area only for the current page session.

Mapbox's optional location and usage telemetry is off by default. You can change it in Settings > Privacy & Security. Turning it off does not stop maps working; map providers still receive the map area requested and network information needed to display maps.

Crash and performance diagnostics

We use Sentry to find crashes and performance problems. It receives diagnostic reports, app and device details, performance information, and a coded account identifier without your name or email. This monitoring runs independently of optional analytics. We do not attach routes, Health records, movement samples, payment details, or screen recordings.

Optional mobile product analytics

With your opt-in, PostHog helps us understand which features people use. It receives selected usage events, app details, and a coded account identifier. We exclude names, emails, location, routes, Health and movement data, and purchase transaction details. Analytics is off by default for each account and device. You can turn it off in Settings > Privacy & Security to stop future collection on that device.

Live Activities

Live Activities can show run metrics on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, where people nearby may see them. You can disable them in iOS Settings. Disabling the display does not stop run recording.

Services we use and information we share

We use Supabase for accounts and data storage, Mapbox and OpenFreeMap for maps, Cloudflare for website hosting and security, and Apple for purchases. We also use Sentry and, with your opt-in, PostHog as described above. Providers receive information needed for their services, including ordinary network information such as your IP address. Where they process data for us, we require protections consistent with this policy. We do not sell your personal information.

Leaderboard visibility is private by default. If you choose Public, other players can see your display name and eligible results, but not your full route.

Storage and security

We use safeguards to protect your information, including encryption for unfinished activity data kept on your device. No system can guarantee complete security.

Retention and your choices

We keep account, activity, and game records while your account is active. Detailed movement data may be deleted earlier while a summary remains. You can manage Location and Motion & Fitness permissions in iOS Settings and optional data sharing in Settings > Privacy & Security.

Delete Me in Privacy & Security removes your active account, runs, and game progress. A hidden profile, a limited deletion record, and Apple purchase records remain to preserve purchase ownership and handle refunds or revocations. These retained records currently have no automatic deletion date.

Turning off analytics or deleting your account does not automatically erase earlier analytics or diagnostic reports. Providers may also retain security logs under their own policies. For access, correction, or deletion requests, email privacy@steadyinmotion.app.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the service changes. The current version will appear on this page. For privacy questions, email privacy@steadyinmotion.app. For app help, visit Support.
