Other Information
About Your Use of the Services
When you use our Services, we collect
the following information about you:
When the user allows the app to sync with google fit, we track the user’s steps which allows them to see how many steps they have walked in the day, and the month. We need to collect this data so that we can chart the user’s progress, which allows them to see progress over the year. The user will get 50 coins every 500 steps. We are using the coin system to incentivize the users to get fitter. We are currently working with partners, so in the future, the user will be able to redeem discounts with their coins. The coins are also used to create a Leaderboard which allows users to compete against one another and brings a fun element into the app.
