Privacy Policy

Effective November 11, 2026

Short version

PAWS collects no data. There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your steps, walks and progress stay on your devices and are never sent to us or anyone else.

What PAWS uses, and why

Motion & Fitness — to count your steps, distance and floors on your iPhone.
Apple Health (HealthKit) — on iPhone, PAWS only reads step, distance and floor totals to fill in your history. On Apple Watch, PAWS saves a walking workout to Health when you record a walk on the watch. Health data is never used for advertising, never shared, and never leaves your devices through PAWS.
Location — only while you're recording a walk with the map turned on, to draw your route. It keeps drawing in the background until you end the walk, then stops. Routes are stored on your device only.

Where your data lives

Everything PAWS keeps (your goal, history, walks, streaks, badges and dog profiles) is stored on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Widgets read the same on-device data. Deleting the app deletes it. Data you allowed into Apple Health stays in Health under your control.

What we don't do

No accounts or sign-in
No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs
No selling or sharing of any data
No servers receiving your activity

Children

PAWS doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
