Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Tread lets you plot one route a day. You type an origin and a destination, MapKit's search completer suggests matching places, and MKDirections returns a route polyline. The origin name, destination name, their coordinates, the polyline coordinates, the distance, the transport type, and a created-at timestamp are saved as today's entry on your device. Pink Tread does NOT request location permission and does NOT read your current GPS position. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier — and to Apple's MapKit for the place names and route geometry you explicitly request.

Who we are

Pink Tread is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No location permission and no GPS reads. Pink Tread does NOT request NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription or any other location entitlement. The app cannot see where your phone is.
• No camera, no microphone, no photo library access.
• No contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

MapKit search and directions

When you type into the origin or destination field, the text is sent to MKLocalSearchCompleter so Apple's MapKit service can return matching place suggestions. When you tap to plot the route, the chosen origin and destination are sent to MKDirections so MapKit can return the route polyline, distance, and travel time.

These calls reach Apple's MapKit servers as part of standard MapKit functionality. They are subject to Apple's Maps Services privacy policy. Pink Tread does not operate its own map server, does not send anything to Google Maps or any other third-party map provider, and does not have a server we control that any of this data passes through.

The text you typed and the route data returned by MapKit are used inside the app to build the saved entry. They are not combined with any identifier, account, or device fingerprint on our side.

What stays on your device

• Your tread entries (origin name and coordinate, destination name and coordinate, distance in meters, transport type (walking, cycling, driving), the polyline coordinates as JSON, an optional one-line note, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes everything Pink Tread has stored.

Lock Screen widget

Pink Tread Pro includes a Lock Screen widget that shows today's tread count or a tiny rendering of the most recent polyline. The widget reads only the count, the timestamp, and (for the rendered variant) the polyline JSON from an App Group container on your device. Nothing is sent off the device for the widget to function.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Tread Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Tread is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Tread does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To remove all on-device state, delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync or sharing), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
