Arukinuri — the streets you walk become yours
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 August 2026
Arukinuri has no account and no sign-in. Your step counts, walked routes and painted tiles are stored only on your device. The developer cannot read them. There is no server.
1. Information we handle
| Steps (Health) | We read your step count from iOS Health, read-only, to show today's progress, judge daily quests and keep your streak. We never write to Health, and we never send the data off your device. |
|---|---|
| Location | We use your location only while a walk is being recorded, to paint the streets you walked as tiles on the map. We never collect location in the background. Coordinates are stored on your device only and are never sent to the developer. |
| Motion & Fitness | Used to check that a recorded journey was actually walked. Everything stays on the device. |
| Game progress | Painted tiles, streak, coins, level and stickers. Stored on the device and not synced to iCloud. |
| Shared images | After a walk you can create an image to share. It contains only the shape of the route, normalised with the real coordinates removed. The image cannot reveal where you walked. It is rendered on your device, and sharing is always your choice. |
2. What we do not collect
- Name, email address, phone number or postal address
- Contacts, photos, calendar, microphone or camera
- Steps, routes or painted tiles (never sent to any server)
There is no analytics SDK and no advertising SDK in this app.
3. Health data
Data read from Health is never used for advertising, marketing or data mining, and is never disclosed to third parties. Your step count is used on your device and nowhere else.
4. Third parties
The developer does not sell or share personal information. The app has no server and uses no external analytics or advertising service.
5. Notifications
At most one notification per day, in the evening, and only when your goal is within reach or a streak is about to end. It is a local notification composed on your device; no server is involved. You can turn it off in iOS Settings at any time.
6. Children
This app is not designed for or directed at children under 13.
7. Deleting your data
- On-device data: deleting the app removes everything. All step records, routes and painted tiles live on the device, so this deletes them completely.
- Health access:revoke at any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Arukinuri.
- Location access: change at any time in Settings → Arukinuri → Location.
8. Contact
For questions about this policy or requests to delete data, please use the form on the Arukinuri support page. We usually reply within one or two business days.
If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the date above.
