Welcome to Walk2Cash. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled safely and responsibly in compliance with applicable laws, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with our pedometer and reward services, we collect the following types of information:

• Physical Activity & Health Data: We request the ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION permission to access your device's built-in step counter. Additionally, if you use Google Health Connect, we request READ_STEPS and READ_EXERCISE permissions to securely read your verified walking and running data.
• Device Information: We collect your Device ID (such as Google Advertising ID), IP address, operating system version, and device model.
• Financial Information: When you request a cash withdrawal, we collect your UPI ID or Paytm mobile number. We do not collect or store bank account passwords, PINs, or OTPs.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly for the following purposes:

• Core Functionality: To track your daily steps, calculate calories/distance, and convert your physical activity into in-app virtual rewards (Coins).
• Payment Processing: To transfer real cash rewards to your designated Paytm or UPI account.
• Fraud Prevention (Strictly Enforced): Device information and step data are analyzed on our servers to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, such as the use of mechanical step-shakers, emulators, or multiple accounts.
• Advertising: To display relevant ads that fund the free rewards. (Note: Health data is excluded from this.)

4. Google Health Connect Policy Compliance

We strictly adhere to the Google Health Connect API policies. The physical activity data (steps and exercise sessions) obtained through Health Connect is used exclusively to track your fitness progress and calculate your in-app rewards fairly.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We only share necessary information with trusted third parties under strict confidentiality:

• Payment Gateways: (e.g., Razorpay, Cashfree) strictly to process your withdrawal requests.
• Ad Networks & Analytics: (e.g., Google AdMob, AppsFlyer) to serve ads and analyze app performance. We share only non-identifiable device data (like GAID) for these purposes.

We retain your personal data only for as long as your account is active and necessary to provide you with Walk2Cash services.

• Active Accounts: Step counts, device info, and balances are kept while you actively use the app.
• Fraud & Legal Compliance: To prevent financial fraud, we may retain transaction history (e.g., withdrawal records) and device ban logs for up to 180 days even after account deletion.
• Auto-Deletion: If your account remains completely inactive (no logins or step syncing) for a continuous period of 12 months, we will automatically delete your data from our active servers.

7. Data Deletion Policy

You have the complete right to request the permanent deletion of your account and all associated personal data.
