Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-10

Overview

StepLimit is an iPhone app. Your step data, daily goals, app restrictions, and usage history stay on your device — in Apple HealthKit and Screen Time. We do not operate accounts, user databases, or a backend that receives your personal data.

The one exception is crash and performance diagnostics, described below.

Data that stays on your device

• Step data — read from Apple HealthKit, processed locally, never transmitted.
• App restrictions — managed through Apple's Screen Time and FamilyControls APIs, stored on-device.
• Settings and preferences — stored locally with SwiftData. No sync, no cloud backup through our systems.

Crash and performance diagnostics (Sentry)

StepLimit uses Sentry for crash reporting and performance monitoring.

• Processor: Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry) — sentry.io
• Data collected: crash reports, performance traces, profiling samples, and IP address (because sendDefaultPii is enabled).
• Purpose: stability and performance monitoring during early development.
• Retention: 90 days (Sentry default).
• Opt-out: not currently available; planned for a future release.

No behavior tracking, session replay, or user-level analytics are collected. Sentry does not receive HealthKit data or information about which apps you have restricted.

Third-party SDKs

StepLimit contains no advertising SDKs, attribution frameworks, or analytics SDKs beyond Sentry. There is no Facebook SDK, Google SDK, or similar third-party code in the app.

HealthKit

We access step count data through Apple HealthKit solely to power the app's core function — counting steps and unlocking apps when your goal is met. We never sell, share, or use HealthKit data for advertising or marketing. We comply with Apple's HealthKit data use requirements.

Children's privacy

StepLimit is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the app and you have concerns, contact us at the address below.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our data practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
