Overview

WalkQuest is developed and published by SuiteForge. We believe your activity data is personal and should stay that way. WalkQuest is designed from the ground up to protect your privacy.

The short version: WalkQuest reads your daily step count from Apple Health (with your permission), but does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to any server. All your activity data stays on your device. We never see it.

What data WalkQuest reads from Apple Health

With your explicit permission, WalkQuest reads one type of data from Apple Health on your device:

• Step count (HKQuantityType.stepCount) — read-only

WalkQuest uses your step count solely to display your daily progress, track active challenges, unlock achievements, and compute your streak. WalkQuest never writes any data to Apple Health, and reads no other Apple Health data type (no heart rate, no GPS, no workouts, no sleep, no location, no biometric data).

You can revoke this permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → WalkQuest. If you decline or revoke Apple Health access, WalkQuest works in manual entry mode — you can enter your daily steps yourself, and the app remains fully functional.

What data WalkQuest stores

WalkQuest stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Daily steps: date, step count, daily goal, completion status, computed distance and calories
• Challenges: name, description, target, duration, progress, completion status
• Achievements: name, description, unlock date, unlock status
• Walk profile: daily goal, total lifetime steps, longest streak, current streak, challenges completed
• User preferences: notification settings, display preferences, theme
• Onboarding responses: your daily step goal selection — used solely to personalize your in-app experience

This data is stored using Apple's SwiftData framework on your iPhone. It never leaves your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud sync (see "iCloud sync" below).
