Privacy Policy
com.temasky.stepcounter.pedometer)This policy explains how TEMA SKY BİLİŞİM Ltd. Şti. (“we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the Step Counter: Pedometer mobile application (the “App”). By using the App you agree to this policy.
1. Information stored on your device
The App creates the following data locally. We cannot access it.
| Data | Purpose | Where it is stored |
|---|---|---|
| Daily and hourly step counts, active walking time | Step counter, reports, badges, streaks | Your device only |
| Sex, height, weight, stride length, step and water goals | Distance and calorie estimates | Your device only |
| Water intake and weight entries | Health screen and charts | Your device only |
| App settings, theme, points, reminder times | App functionality | Your device only |
If Android Backup is enabled on your device, this data may be included in the backup that Google stores in your own Google Account. We have no access to that backup. Uninstalling the App deletes the data held on the device.
2. Information collected by third parties
Google AdMob (advertising, free version only). AdMob may collect and process the advertising ID, approximate location derived from your IP address, device information, and ad interaction data in order to serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud and abuse. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other applicable regions, ads are served according to the choice you make in Google’s consent form (UMP), which appears on first launch. You can change that choice at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices, and you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. See Google’s advertising policy and Google’s privacy policy. Premium users are shown no ads.
Google Play Billing (purchases). Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Google Play. We never receive or store your payment details; Google Play only tells the App whether a purchase is valid. Manage or cancel subscriptions in Play Store › Payments & subscriptions.
Google Play In-App Review. If you choose to rate the App, the review is handled by Google Play.
We do not use analytics SDKs, crash-reporting SDKs, or social network SDKs, and we do not sell or share personal information with data brokers.
3. Permissions the App requests
- Physical activity (ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION): to read your phone’s built-in step sensor.
- Notifications: to show the live step counter and the step, water and weight reminders you enable.
- Foreground service (health): to keep counting steps while the App is closed. A persistent notification is shown while this runs.
- Run at startup: to resume step counting after the device restarts.
- Internet and advertising ID: used only for ads and in-app purchases.
The App does not request access to your location (GPS), camera, microphone, contacts, call logs, SMS or files.
4. Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)
- Consent — personalised advertising, where the consent form is shown.
- Legitimate interests — non-personalised advertising, security and fraud prevention.
- Performance of a contract — processing purchases and providing Premium features.
Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices.
5. Data retention and deletion
Because your activity and health data never leave your device, you control it directly: edit it in the App (Settings and Health screens), clear today’s steps with Settings › Reset today, or remove everything by clearing the App’s storage in Android settings or uninstalling the App. For data processed by Google (advertising, purchases), please refer to Google’s policies linked above.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Residents of California and other US states may have the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its sale or sharing; we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under applicable US state privacy laws. To exercise any right, contact us at the address below.
7. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate action.
8. International transfers
We do not transfer your data ourselves, as it stays on your device. Google may process advertising and purchase data on servers located in other countries, under the safeguards described in Google’s privacy policy.
9. Security
Data stored by the App is protected by Android’s application sandbox, which prevents other apps from reading it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but because we hold no copy of your health data on any server, the risk of a server-side breach affecting it does not apply.
10. Not a medical device
The App is a fitness and activity tool, not a medical device. Steps, calories, distance and BMI are estimates and must not be used to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Consult a qualified professional before making health decisions.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this address, and the “Last updated” date above will change. Material changes will be highlighted in the App or on this page.
