Good Walk Privacy Policy

Effective 7 October 2026

Good Walk is a habit tracker for walking your dog every day. It is built so that it does not need your data.

Camera

If you add a photo to a walk, Good Walk opens the camera or your photo library only at that moment. The photo is kept with that walk on your phone, so you can find it again on the calendar, and it is never uploaded. You can replace it or delete it from the walk at any time, deleting the walk deletes its photo, and deleting the app deletes all of them. A card leaves your phone only when you share it yourself.

What Good Walk collects

Nothing that identifies you or your dog. Good Walk has no accounts, no sign-in and no server of its own.

What stays on your device

• Your dog's profile: name, size, breed type, age and the daily walk target.
• Your dog's photo, if you add one.
• Any photo you take of a walk, stored with that walk.
• Each walk you log (date, minutes, distance), and the streaks, totals and milestones worked out from them.
• Your reminder time.

These are stored locally in the app's container (shared only with the app's own Home Screen widget on the same device) and are deleted when you delete the app. Good Walk does not read from or write to Apple Health.

Photos

You choose a photo with the system photo picker or the camera, so Good Walk never has access to the rest of your photo library. Your dog's profile photo is shown in the app, the widget and the share cards. A photo you add to a walk is stored with that walk and shown when you open that day on the calendar. Both are saved on your device only. Neither is uploaded anywhere, and a share card leaves your phone only when you share it yourself.

Motion data and distance

If you allow Motion & Fitness access, Good Walk reads the pedometer in your phone during a walk to measure distance. This happens on your device, only the resulting distance is saved (on your device), and it is never sent anywhere. The permission is optional: without it, distance is estimated from how long you walked.

Location

Good Walk does not request, use or store your location. There is no GPS tracking and no map.

What Good Walk can't see

Good Walk does not know where you walk, who you're with, or anything you don't enter. It does not read messages, contacts, location or your photo library.

Purchases

Subscriptions and purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. Apple's privacy policy applies to payment information. Good Walk only receives confirmation that a purchase is active. The anonymous analytics below record which plan was started, never who started it.

Analytics

Good Walk may record anonymous events about how the app itself is used (for example, "onboarding completed" or "walk finished") to improve the product, using PostHog, an analytics service. These events contain no personal information, are not linked to your identity, and never include your dog's name or photo. Alongside the event name they carry the device model, iOS version and app version, and for a purchase, which plan. Good Walk tells PostHog not to work out a location from your connection. There are no user profiles and no session recordings. Good Walk does not use advertising identifiers, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not sell data.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Good Walk uses them only for the daily walk reminder you scheduled and, if you chose it, a reminder before a free trial ends. They are scheduled on your device.

Not veterinary advice

Good Walk is not a veterinary service. Walk targets are general guidelines, not veterinary advice. Ask your vet what's right for your dog, especially for puppies, seniors, flat-faced breeds and dogs with health conditions.

Children

Good Walk is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
