How we collect, use, and protect your information
IslamApp (“IslamApp,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a walking and step-counting app that lets users turn eligible steps into Paw Coins and direct IslamApp's donation pool among supported animal shelters. This policy applies to the IslamApp mobile app and the IslamApp website.
With your explicit permission, IslamApp reads the following from Apple HealthKit or Android Health Connect:
IslamApp reads daily aggregate totals, including recent daily totals used to display your progress and history. These totals are sent to and stored in our backend so we can provide Paw Coins, streaks, challenges, leaderboards, and account continuity. We do not request or collect heart rate, medical records, workouts, precise location, or route data. IslamApp does not write data to Apple Health or Health Connect.
IslamApp creates an anonymous account identifier when you first use the app. You do not need to provide a real name, email address, phone number, Apple ID, or Google account. We may store:
We store daily activity totals, step-conversion records, Paw Coin balances and history, streaks, challenge participation, referral codes and redemptions, and completed in-app reward tasks. Your username and aggregate step total may be visible to other users on leaderboards. Challenge participants may see the username and progress of other participants in the same challenge. We do not publish your underlying HealthKit or Health Connect records.
Your authentication session, notification preference, and measurement preference are stored securely on your device. IslamApp schedules reminders locally on your device after you grant notification permission. We do not collect your contacts, photos, microphone data, or precise location.
IslamApp uses Google AdMob to show optional rewarded ads. IslamApp requests non-personalized ads. Google and its advertising partners may still process information such as your IP address, device and app information, advertising or app-instance identifiers, and ad impressions and interactions to deliver ads, limit repetition, produce aggregated reports, and prevent fraud and abuse. IslamApp does not send your health or fitness data, username, Paw Coin balance, or chosen shelter to Google for advertising.
Our service and website providers may also process standard technical data such as IP address, timestamps, request information, and security logs when you connect to Stepaw.
If you contact SIslamApp through our website, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you submit so we can respond to your inquiry. Our contact-form delivery provider processes this information on our behalf.
We use information only as reasonably necessary to:
We do not use health or fitness information for advertising, marketing, data mining, credit, insurance, employment, or eligibility decisions.
We do not sell your personal information or health data.
Information may be processed by:
Service providers may use information only to perform services for us or as otherwise disclosed in their own privacy terms. We require providers handling Stepaw user data to apply protections consistent with this policy and applicable law. Health and fitness information is not shared with advertising networks.
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law applies, we rely on the following legal bases as appropriate:
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Health and fitness data is sensitive. IslamApp accesses it only after the operating system presents a permission request and you choose what to allow. We do not sell it, use it to build an advertising profile, disclose it to data brokers, or combine it with advertising data. Ads are not selected using your step count, distance, active energy, Paw Coins, or shelter choice.
We retain account-linked information while your IslamApp account remains active and as needed to provide the features described above. Security and transaction records may be retained for a limited period where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations.
You can permanently delete your IslamApp account from Profile → Privacy & Data → Delete Account & Data. This deletes the anonymous authentication account and production records linked to it, including your profile, daily activity totals, conversions, Paw Coins, and challenge or referral records. Removing the app from your phone does not by itself delete server data.
Limited residual copies may remain temporarily in service-provider backups or security logs until they are overwritten under normal retention cycles, unless longer retention is legally required. Public donation reports and shelter payment proofs are IslamApp business records and are not tied to your identity. Advertising data independently processed by Google is retained under Google’s policies and controls.
Because Stepaw accounts are anonymous, the in-app deletion control is the fastest and most reliable way to identify and delete your account. We may need limited information to verify other privacy requests.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including encrypted network connections, secure on-device session storage, access controls, and database authorization rules. No system can guarantee absolute security.
IslamApp and its providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.
IslamApp is not directed to children under 13. Where local law requires a higher age for valid consent, IslamApp is not intended for users below that age without authorization from a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact us so we can investigate and delete it.
We may update this policy when IslamApp’s features, providers, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy here and update the “last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent.
