petto! Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026

petto! is a step counter with walking challenges, published by wo6 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how to delete it.

What we collect

• Daily step totals. One number per day (for example, "6,200 steps on 1 November"). We never collect your location, routes, or individual step timestamps.
• Your display name, shown on challenge leaderboards. Guests get a name like "Walker AB12" until they choose one.
• Your email address, only if you create an account or add an email to a guest account. It is used to send sign-in codes.
• Challenges you create or join, including their titles and descriptions.

Where step data comes from

On iPhone, petto! reads your step count from Apple's Motion & Fitness data. On Android, it reads Steps from Health Connect or, if Health Connect isn't available, counts steps with the phone's sensor while the app is open. petto! only reads step counts. It never writes to Health Connect or Apple Health, and it requests no other health data.

Data read from Health Connect is used only to show your daily totals and calculate challenge distances. It is not used for advertising, not sold, and not shared with anyone except as described below.

Who can see your data

• Other participants in a challenge you join see your display name and your step and distance totals for that challenge.
• Public challenges you create are visible to everyone using petto!, with your display name as the creator. Private challenges are visible only to people who have the invite code and join.
• Your daily step history and email are private to you.
• Data is stored with our hosting provider, Supabase, in the European Union (Ireland).

We don't use advertising or analytics SDKs, and we don't sell personal data.

Deleting your account and data

• In the app: open Profile → Delete account, then tap again to confirm. Guests can use Profile → Leave guest mode. Your account, step history and challenge memberships are deleted immediately and permanently.
• Without the app: email wo6.connect@gmail.com from the address on your account, with the subject "Delete my petto! account". We'll delete it within 30 days and confirm by email.

Retention

We keep your data while your account exists. Deleting your account removes it from our database straight away. Copies in our hosting provider's routine backups expire automatically.

Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and access to your data is restricted so that only you, and the challenge participants described above, can see it.

Your rights

You can access, correct or delete your data at any time, in the app or by emailing us. If you have a concern about how your data is handled, contact us at wo6.connect@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
