Welcome to WalkBucks! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your information when you use the WalkBucks mobile application (the "Service"). Your privacy is critically important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data.
By using WalkBucks, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We primarily collect data to operate, provide, and optimize our Service, which allows you to earn rewards for walking and completing tasks. We explicitly promise not to use the collected data for any unrelated commercial activities.
To provide and enhance your experience, we collect several types of information.
While you can use WalkBucks's core features without an account, certain functionalities may require you to provide us with voluntarily submitted personally identifiable information. This is primarily for the purpose of delivering your earnings and providing support. This information may include:
Withdrawal Details: When you request to cash out your earnings, we will collect necessary information such as your PayPal email address or bank account details to process the transaction.
Contact Information: If you contact us for support or participate in a feedback survey, you may choose to provide your email address so we can reply. This is always optional.
We automatically collect data related to your use of the Service to ensure its proper functioning, prevent fraud, and calculate your rewards. This data includes:
Step Data: We collect step count information from your device's sensors or integrated health platforms (like Google Fit) to calculate and convert your steps into in-app currency ("Gold Coins").
Device Information: Your device's IP address, operating system version, device type, and unique device identifiers.
App Interaction Data: The features you access (e.g., step conversion, task completion, reward games), the time and date of your activities, session duration, and task completion status.
Performance Data: Information related to app crashes and performance issues.
This data is essential for core services like step tracking, preventing cheating (e.g., detecting abnormal step patterns), calculating your earnings, and improving the app's functionality.
The Service integrates with third-party services that have their own privacy policies. These services help us with analytics, advertising, and crash reporting. They may collect information as described in their respective policies.
Google Fit / Apple HealthKit: Used to access step count data. We only read step data and do not have access to or write any other health information.
Google Play Services & AdMob: Used for serving advertisements within the app.
Firebase (Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics): Used for analyzing app usage, feature performance, and diagnosing crashes.
We ensure that any data shared with these third parties is only for the purpose of facilitating the Service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To Provide and Maintain the Service: To track your steps, manage tasks, calculate and award Gold Coins, and process cash withdrawals.
To Prevent Fraud and Abuse: To detect and prevent fraudulent activities, such as the use of step simulators or other cheating mechanisms, ensuring a fair environment for all users.
To Improve User Experience: To analyze how features are used (e.g., which tasks are popular) to optimize the app's design and functionality.
To Communicate with You: To send you push notifications regarding task updates, challenge rankings, withdrawal status, and other service-related messages. You can manage your notification preferences in the app settings.
To Provide Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries and requests.
In case of an error in the app, we collect data and information (through third-party products) on your phone called Log Data. This may include your IP address, device name, OS version, app configuration, the time and date of the error, and other statistics. This data is used solely for diagnosing and fixing issues.
We value your trust and strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information. This includes encrypting data transmissions. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Our Service may contain links to other sites, such as survey providers or websites for apps in our "offer wall." If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, as we have no control over and assume no responsibility for their content or practices.
WalkBucks is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. We will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
