Fitness UP — Step Counter Launcher · Effective date: November 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Fitness UP ("the App", "we") handles information when you use our Android application — a home-screen launcher with a built-in step counter. By using the App you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

  • Step & activity data. Steps are counted with your phone's built-in motion sensor (Physical Activity permission). Step counts, derived distance, calories and activity history are stored only on your device. We do not upload your step data to any server.
  • Profile settings. Gender, age, height, weight and your daily goal are used only to calculate distance and calories, and are stored only on your device.
  • Installed apps list. As a launcher, the App reads the list of launchable apps on your device (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) solely to display your home screen and app drawer. This list is processed on-device and is never collected, stored remotely or shared.
  • Usage & diagnostics. We use Google Firebase Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how the App is used (e.g. screens visited, session length, device model, approximate region) and to fix problems. This data is aggregated and does not include your step history or installed-apps list.
  • Advertising identifiers. Our advertising partners may use your device's advertising ID to show and measure ads (see Section 3).

2. Permissions We Use and Why

  • Physical activity (ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION) — required to count steps with the device sensor.
  • Query all packages — core launcher functionality: showing your apps on the home screen and in the app drawer.
  • Notifications — optional: your step-progress card and walking reminders. You can disable these anytime in system settings or in the App.
  • Run at startup / foreground service (health) — keeps step counting running reliably in the background and after reboot.
  • Default home app (launcher role) — optional and requested through the Android system dialog. The App works without it; you can revert anytime in system settings.

3. Advertising

The App shows ads served by Google AdMob / Google Ad Manager (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Google may collect and use data such as your advertising ID, IP address and coarse device information to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where you have consented. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland we show a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) before serving ads, and you can choose non-personalized ads. Learn more at Google's advertising policies or opt out of ad personalization in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads).

The App may also open sponsored web pages in a Chrome Custom Tab. These pages are operated by third parties and are governed by their own privacy policies.

4. Third-Party Services

5. Data Storage, Security and Deletion

Your fitness data and settings never leave your device. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all locally stored data, including your entire step history and profile. Analytics data held by our providers is retained according to their published retention policies.

6. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data and to withdraw consent. Because fitness data is stored only on your device, you can exercise most rights directly by clearing the App's data or uninstalling it. For anything else, contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
