Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 July 2026
FitWalk helps you plan and track walks. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have. The short version: we don’t sell your data, and we never use your health data for advertising or marketing.
Who we are
FitWalk is operated by Oynk. For any privacy question or request, contact ash@oynk.co.uk. FitWalk works without an account; some features (syncing across devices, friends leaderboards) require one.
What we collect
- Account: your email address, and a display name and optional avatar you choose. Sign-in uses a one-time email link (or password).
- Health & activity: with your permission, your step count (Apple Health / Health Connect) so we can show progress toward your goal, and we can write your walks back as workouts. If you walk with an Apple Watch, your heart rate is recorded with that walk so we can show your average and a heart-rate graph on the walk’s detail screen. You can decline health access and still use the app.
- Location: with your permission, your device’s GPS during a walk, to draw your route and measure distance. Background location is used only while a walk is in progress, so tracking continues with the screen off.
- Walk & game data: your saved walks and routes, streak, coins and gems, and daily step totals — so your progress persists and (if you opt in) appears on leaderboards among friends you’ve invited.
- Basic technical data: minimal information needed to run the service (e.g. app/session identifiers). We don’t use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.
How we use it
- To plan routes, count steps, track your walk and show your progress.
- To sync your data across your devices when you’re signed in.
- To run friends leaderboards, only for people you’ve connected with and only if you leave sharing on.
Health data: data read from Apple Health / Health Connect is used solely to provide FitWalk’s features. It is never used for advertising or marketing, and is never sold or shared with data brokers.
Who processes your data
We use a small number of service providers strictly to run the app:
- Supabase — secure database, authentication and file storage for your account and synced data.
- MapTiler / OpenStreetMap — map tiles and walking routes.
- Resend — sending your sign-in emails.
We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.
Storage & security
Data is encrypted in transit. Some data is also stored locally on your device so the app works offline; signing out or deleting your account clears it.
Your rights & deleting your data
You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time, in the app: open your Account panel and tap Delete account. This immediately removes your account and every record tied to it — walks, streak, coins, gems, leaderboard entries and avatar. It cannot be undone.
You may also email ash@oynk.co.uk to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data. Under UK/EU GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port your data, and to object to or restrict processing.
Children
FitWalk is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected here with a new date. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
