Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

This policy covers the health data Step Champ handles, as laws such as Washington's My Health My Data Act and Nevada's consumer health data law require. Our full Privacy Policy covers everything else.

What we collect

Daily step counts, and nothing else about your health. We do not collect heart rate, workouts, sleep, weight, location or any other health measurement.

Where it comes from

From your device, only after you allow it: Apple Health or your iPhone's motion sensor on iPhone, or Health Connect on Android.

Why we collect it

To show your steps, goal progress and streaks to you.
To rank you on the leaderboards and championships of the groups you join.
To pay the in-app coins you earn for reaching your goal.
To spot step counts that look faked, so standings stay fair.

We never use step data for advertising, and we never sell it.

Who it is shared with

Members of the groups you join see your daily step totals and standings. You choose which groups to join, and you can leave any of them.
Microsoft Azure, which stores it for us as our service provider, in Canada.

We share it with no one else, and we have no affiliates that receive it.

We read steps only after you agree in the app and in your device's permission prompt. You can:

Withdraw consent at any time in Apple Health or Health Connect settings, or under You → Step source in the app.
Confirm and access the step data we hold, and get the list of everyone we share it with, by emailing us.
Delete it by deleting your account in the app, or by emailing us. Deletion also removes it from our backups within 30 days.

We answer within 45 days. If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer, and we will respond to the appeal within 45 days. If you are still not satisfied, you can contact your state Attorney General.
