PinkSteady Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

1. Information We Collect

Motion Data (Core Signal)

During active "Steady Check-in" sessions, we collect accelerometer and gyroscope data from your Apple Watch to compute stability metrics. This raw sensor data is processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded to our servers.

Session Summaries

We store aggregated session data including your Steadiness Score (0–100), session duration, and timestamps. These summaries help you track your progress over time.

HealthKit Data (Optional)

With your explicit permission, we may access Apple HealthKit data such as heart rate, heart rate variability, walking steadiness, and step metrics. This data is used solely to provide contextual wellness insights and is never shared with third parties.

User Feedback

You may optionally provide self-reported ratings ("Felt steady?" 1–5 scale) and notes to help personalize your experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide real-time balance feedback through haptic and audio cues
• Display your stability trends and progress charts
• Personalize feedback based on your baseline measurements
• Generate gamified insights like streaks and improvement badges
• Improve our algorithms and product experience (using anonymized, aggregated data only)

3. Data Storage & Retention

• Raw sensor data: Stored on your device only; deleted immediately after each session
• Session summaries: Retained for 12–24 months; you can delete anytime
• Daily aggregates: Maximum 24 months retention
• Research features (opt-in): Feature vectors only; purged within 72 hours

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

• Encryption in transit: TLS (Transport Layer Security)
• Encryption at rest: AES-256 encryption
• Identifiers: Random User ID only—no personally identifiable information (PHI) or geolocation data

5. What We Don't Collect

PinkSteady does not collect:

• Your name, email, or contact information (unless you create an account)
• Location or GPS data
• Protected health information (PHI)
• Data for advertising, marketing, or third-party data mining

6. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Anonymized, aggregated data may be used for research purposes only with your explicit opt-in consent.

7. Your Rights & Choices

You have control over your data:

• Access: View all your stored data within the app
• Delete: Request deletion of your data at any time
• Opt-out: Disable HealthKit integration or research participation

8. Children's Privacy

PinkSteady is intended for adults and is not designed for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Wellness Disclaimer
