FlosForge Steps — privacy policy

FlosForge Steps has no internet permission and no network code, so your step history cannot leave the phone through the app. Steps come from the phone’s step sensor, never from GPS or location. There is no account, no analytics and no advertising.

What FlosForge Steps collects about you

Nothing. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting and no identifier of any kind. The app has no server of its own to send anything to, and it does not phone home to check for updates — Google Play delivers new versions.

What it stores, and where

Your step history: Steps by hour and by source, added activities, goal history and your reminder answers, in the app’s private database.
Your settings: Goal, stride, units, reminder time and appearance, in the app’s private storage.
Left out of backups: Every part of the app’s storage is excluded from Google’s cloud backup and from device-to-device transfer. Use the app’s own backup file to move to a new phone.

Everything it can connect to

The app has no internet permission. These are the only things outside it that it ever reaches, and each one is something you choose.

The phone’s step sensor: A low-power chip that counts steps on its own. Reading it needs the physical-activity permission; the app never asks for location.
Health Connect, if you turn it on: Off by default. The app then reads step counts from the last thirty days, when you open it or tap Import now. It never writes to Health Connect.
Files you save: CSV exports and backups go only to the place you pick in the save dialog, and a restore reads only the file you pick.
Links you tap: The website link opens flosforge.eu in your browser. The app itself opens no connection.

What never leaves your phone

No step count, activity or reminder answer is transmitted by the app.
No location, no GPS, no account.
No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no third-party SDKs.

Safeguards

Nothing to switch off: Without the internet permission the app is unable to send anything, whatever its settings say.
Permissions only when needed: Notifications are requested only when you turn the reminder on, and Health Connect only when you enable the import.
Deleting is confirmed: Delete step history warns that it cannot be undone and suggests a backup first.

Your rights, and who to ask

Because the app holds nothing about you, there is nothing for the controller to access, correct or erase on your behalf: everything it knows is in files on your own phone, under your own control. Uninstalling the app deletes everything it stored, and because its data is excluded from backups there is no other copy. Exports and backup files you saved are yours to delete. For anything else, write to hello@flosforge.eu. The site-wide privacy policy covers this website, your rights under the GDPR, and the supervisory authority you can complain to.

Changes

This statement is checked against each release. If a version changes what the app stores or what it can connect to, the version and date at the top change with it.
