Your records, your pace
Privacy Policy
Stepgrid is a habit tracker you can use without creating an app account. This policy explains what stays on your device, what is sent to online services, and the choices you have.
Your habit records stay on your device. The app also uses online services to register installations and launches, retrieve app configuration, check for updates, and verify purchases when available.
1. Who operates Stepgrid
Stepgrid is provided by Stepgrid Team (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy applies to the Stepgrid mobile app, including the Android application com.stepgrid.habits, and these legal pages.
2. Information we handle
Habit records: stored locally
Habit names, targets, schedules, colors, tags, check-ins, repair history, reminder settings, local snapshots, and app preferences are stored in the app’s local database. Stepgrid does not upload these habit records to our online services or provide automatic cloud synchronization.
Your habit names and history in files you choose to share may reveal personal information. You control what you enter and where you export it.
Installation, device, and service information
Stepgrid creates a random installation identifier and sends it to our technical service providers along with the platform, operating system version, device model, Android manufacturer where available, app version, build number, application identifier, and device locale. These services register the installation and app launches and return an installation-specific identity used by online features. This identifier is not a login account, but it can distinguish one installation from another.
Network requests also reveal an IP address and request time to the receiving service. These may appear in its operational or security logs. Stepgrid does not request GPS location or an advertising identifier.
Purchases, if you use paid features
Google Play or the Apple App Store processes payment. When store verification is available, Stepgrid sends product identifiers and purchase tokens or signed transaction data to our purchase verification service to validate purchases and obtain Pro entitlements. An anonymous service account token may be supplied to the store to associate a purchase with the installation’s service identity. Purchase status and entitlements are cached locally.
We do not receive your full card number or store account password. The store may process additional billing and account information under its own policy.
Optional Apple Health access
On supported iOS versions, if you grant access, Stepgrid reads only the Health categories you authorize for automatic habit completion, such as steps, running activity, distance, or water intake. Health values and resulting habit progress are processed on your device and are not sent to our online services. Stepgrid does not write to Apple Health or use Health data for advertising.
Files and support messages you choose to send
If you export a JSON backup or CSV file, it may contain habit history, tags, schedules, or reminder times. The file is passed to the system file picker or share sheet only at your request. If you contact us, we receive the contact details and message content you provide.
3. Why we use information
- Provide habit tracking, progress views, reminders, templates, widgets, and backup and restore.
- Register installations and launches, deliver configuration and notices, and check app versions.
- Validate purchases, restore eligible purchases, maintain entitlements, and prevent payment misuse.
- Respond to support or privacy requests and protect the reliability and security of services.
We do not upload habit contents for behavioral analytics. The app does not include advertising, cross-app advertising tracking, or a separate third-party behavioral analytics SDK. We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on providing the service you request, legitimate interests in service security and operation where permitted, compliance with legal obligations, and consent where required. Optional device permissions can be withdrawn in system settings.
5. Optional permissions and device features
- Notifications: used for optional local habit reminders. You can disable reminders in the app or revoke notification permission in system settings.
- File access: system pickers let you select a backup to import or a destination for an export. Stepgrid does not require broad access to your file library for this purpose.
- Health: available only on supported iOS devices with your permission. Revoke access through Apple Health or system settings.
- Region suggestions: template recommendations use device locale and region settings, not location permission or GPS.
These legal pages contain no analytics scripts, advertising trackers, cookies, or browser storage. A hosting provider may receive standard request information when you open a hosted page.
6. Storage, retention, and deletion
On your device. Local records remain until you delete or replace them, clear app storage, or uninstall the app. Local safety snapshots and the pre-restore safety copy can retain earlier records after an individual habit is deleted; those copies remain inside the app until rotated or replaced, or until app storage is removed. Purchase records and the used repair allowance may be retained locally independently of an individual habit.
Outside the app. Exported files are not removed when you delete a habit or uninstall Stepgrid. Delete those files separately from your chosen device, cloud drive, or recipient. Backup files are not protected by a Stepgrid password or app-level encryption; store and share them carefully.
Online service information. Installation identifiers, launch or operational records, purchase verification data, and support correspondence may remain with the developer, our technical service providers, or the relevant store for as long as needed for their stated purposes, security, accounting, dispute handling, or legal obligations. There is no single fixed retention period for all these categories. Uninstalling Stepgrid does not itself request deletion of online records.
Contact us to request deletion of online personal information we control. We may need information reasonably necessary to locate the relevant installation or transaction and may retain information where legally required. Deleted information may remain in restricted service backups until those backups expire under the applicable retention process.
7. Your choices and rights
You can edit and delete local habits, export a backup or CSV file, turn off reminders, revoke optional permissions, or stop using the app. There is no app account you must create or close. Subscription cancellation is separate from deleting app data and must be handled through your store account.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection concerning personal information, or to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You may also have a right to complain to your local data protection authority. We will handle requests within the time required by applicable law and may verify your request using proportionate information.
Because habit records are kept locally, we cannot retrieve a copy from our server or remotely edit your habit database. Please do not send full habit histories, Health records, passwords, or payment credentials to identify yourself in a support request.
8. Security and international processing
Stepgrid uses your device’s app storage protections for local records and HTTPS for online service requests. No system can guarantee absolute security. Protect access to your device and to any files you export.
Our technical service providers, store services, support systems, or your selected file destination may process information outside the country where you live. Applicable legal requirements for international transfers will apply. Contact us if you need information about the processing arrangements relevant to your request.
9. Children
Stepgrid is a general-purpose habit tracker and is not designed specifically for children. Where applicable law requires parental consent or sets a minimum age for a service, those requirements apply. If you believe a child has provided personal information in violation of applicable requirements, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app, service providers, or applicable requirements change. For material changes, we will provide an appropriate notice and obtain consent where required. This policy does not authorize us to start uploading your habit records or Health data without the notice and permissions required for such a change.
