Privacy and your data

What data we read

Dreptaj reads only your step count from Health Connect on Android or Apple Health on iPhone, and only with your permission. It never writes data there.

• No location or GPS
• No heart rate or other health data
• No history older than 30 days
• Manually entered step samples are skipped on iPhone

What reaches the server

To save progress to your account and show it to friends, the server receives daily step totals, 15-minute summaries, and the time they were read. Detailed records and the names of source apps stay on your phone.

The server also stores game history: days, syncs, people passed, expeditions, races, coins, and your collection.

Background syncing

On supported phones, Dreptaj can sync steps in the background so friends see your progress without you opening the app. Android requires separate Health Connect permission for background reading. The system decides when the task runs.

Session data used in the background is kept in encrypted system storage (Android Keystore or iOS Keychain). Signing out removes the session and stops syncing.

Analytics only with consent

Analytics are off by default. At first launch you can accept or decline them: the game works the same either way. Change this in Profile → Privacy and analytics.

• We do not send step counts, goals, locations, emails, names, or social accounts
• Session recording, automatic click collection, and surveys are disabled
• We use a pseudonymous identifier that resets when you sign out

Notifications

All notifications are off by default. Enable invitations, results, rewards, and goal or streak reminders separately. Your phone will also ask for notification permission.

Account and purchases

You sign in with Apple or Google. The app store (Google Play or App Store) handles purchases, so Dreptaj never sees your card details. Purchase entitlements are verified on the server.

How to pause or revoke access

Pause syncing in Dreptaj settings. Revoke step access in Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone). Your saved game history remains on your account.
