Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

Introduction

DailyWalks is an iOS walking tracker app that helps you set daily step goals, track your walking activity, and view analytics over time. It uses Apple HealthKit to read step count data and displays stats like steps, estimated calories burned, and estimated distance walked.

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information DailyWalks collects, how it is stored, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

DailyWalks collects and stores the following information, all of which is provided directly by you or derived from your HealthKit data:

  • User profile: your name and profile picture.
  • Daily step goal: your preferred daily step goal.
  • Goal lock date: a timestamp used to prevent changing your goal more than once per day.
  • Daily walking logs: date, step count, estimated calories burned, estimated distance, and whether your daily goal was met.

DailyWalks does not require an account, sign-up, or any form of authentication.

How Your Data Is Stored

All data is stored entirely on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework (backed by SQLite). Profile images are stored using SwiftData's external storage attribute. No data is ever sent to a server, cloud service, or any external system.

HealthKit Data

DailyWalks requests read-only access to Apple HealthKit step count data (HKQuantityType.stepCount). HealthKit data is used solely to display your step count for the current day. The app does not write any data to HealthKit.

HealthKit data is governed by Apple's HealthKit privacy policies and your own HealthKit permissions. You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings > Health > DailyWalks.

Local Notifications

DailyWalks may request permission to send local notifications for goal completion and monthly achievement celebrations. These notifications are generated entirely on your device — no push notification server is involved.

Data Export

You can export your walking history as a CSV file via the iOS share sheet. This export is initiated entirely by you, and the file remains on your device unless you choose to share it.

Data Deletion

You can delete all your data — including your profile, walking history, and settings — from within the app's Settings tab using the “Delete All Data” button. This permanently removes all data from your device.

Third-Party Services

DailyWalks makes zero network requests. There is no backend, no analytics SDK, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party libraries. The app does not collect, transmit, share, or sell any user data to anyone.

Children's Privacy

DailyWalks does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since all data remains on-device and nothing is transmitted, there is no data collection in the traditional sense.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
