Privacy Policy

How Orbit Steps handles your data

1. Data We Collect

Orbit Steps reads step count, active energy burned, flights climbed, stand hours, and exercise minutes from Apple HealthKit with your explicit permission. We do not collect your name, email, location, contacts, or any personally identifiable information.

2. Data Storage

All health data remains on your device. We do not operate servers or databases. Your data is never transmitted to us or any third party. App preferences are stored locally via UserDefaults.

3. How We Use Your Data

Health data is used exclusively to display step counts, calculate distances, track streaks, show trends, and deliver goal notifications — all locally on your device.

4. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, share, rent, or trade your data — ever. Orbit Steps contains no advertising SDKs, analytics frameworks, or third-party trackers.

5. HealthKit Compliance

Orbit Steps complies with Apple's HealthKit guidelines. HealthKit data is never used for advertising or sold to data brokers. We only read the specific data types required for app functionality.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

You can revoke HealthKit access at any time in Settings → Health → Apps. Uninstalling the app removes all preferences. Since we store no data on servers, there is nothing to request or delete from us.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Orbit Steps does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The app is rated 4+ on the App Store and does not include features targeting children.

8. Notifications

Push notifications are optional and only used to alert you about step goal milestones. You can disable them in Settings → Notifications → Orbit Steps at any time.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy with app updates. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision.

Important health and safety information

🚨
EMERGENCY WARNING

If you experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, or any medical emergency — call 911 immediately. Do not rely on this app in an emergency.

1. Not a Medical Device

Orbit Steps is a consumer wellness app, not a medical device. It has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA, CE, or any regulatory body. Step data is an estimate from motion sensors, not a clinical measurement.

2. Not Medical Advice

No content, data, or suggestion within Orbit Steps constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Step goals are for motivation only and are not prescriptions for your specific health condition.

3. Consult a Healthcare Professional

Always consult a qualified provider before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, joint conditions, pregnancy, or any chronic illness.

4. Accuracy Limitations

Step counts, distances, and calorie estimates are approximations. Accuracy varies by device, walking style, terrain, and phone placement. Do not use these figures for clinical decision-making.

5. Individual Variation

General step guidelines (e.g., "10,000 steps/day") are population averages, not personalized prescriptions. Your optimal activity level depends on your individual health status.

6. Liability

The developer of Orbit Steps is not liable for any injury or adverse outcome resulting from use of, or reliance on, the app. By using this app you acknowledge that physical activity carries inherent risks.

7. Overexertion Warning

Chasing step goals can lead to overexertion or injury. Listen to your body. Rest is essential. Do not push through pain in pursuit of in-app achievements.

8. Changes

This disclaimer may be updated to reflect changes in app functionality or applicable health guidance.
