1. Introduction
Thank you for using Step Mission. Step Mission is a simple motivational step-tracking app designed to help users stay active, track daily progress, and build a walking habit.
By using Step Mission, you agree to these Terms & Privacy Policy.
2. What Step Mission Does
Step Mission helps you view your step count, daily progress, streaks, achievements, journey milestones, widgets, and optional motivation reminders.
The app uses step data from Apple Health only after you give permission on your device.
Step Mission is a motivational fitness app. It is not a medical device, medical service, or healthcare provider.
3. Health Data and Apple Health
Step Mission may request permission to read your step count from Apple Health.
You control Health permissions through iOS settings and the Apple Health app. You may allow, deny, or revoke access at any time.
- Step Mission does not write health data to Apple Health.
- Step Mission does not delete your Apple Health data.
- Resetting Step Mission progress only resets app-based journey progress, streaks, achievements, trail passes, and lifetime Step Mission progress inside the app.
- Resetting Step Mission progress does not remove or change your Apple Health history.
Important: Your daily steps may include steps recorded by your iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Health, or other connected sources depending on your Apple Health settings.
