Privacy Policy

Paxo is built to respect your privacy. This page explains, in plain language, how the app handles your information.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Technologies Weslii inc. ("Technologies Weslii", "we", "us" or "our") handles information when you use the Paxo app for iPhone and Apple Watch.

Paxo's core features are designed to work without a Paxo account and to keep your movement information under your control. If you choose to use the optional leaderboard, daily and weekly step totals are submitted to Apple Game Center. We do not sell your personal information or use Apple Health or Game Center data for advertising, profiling or tracking.

2. No Account Required

Paxo does not require you to create a Paxo account, provide your name or email address to Paxo, or sign in to use its core features. An Apple Game Center account is required only if you choose to use leaderboards or related social features.

3. Apple Health Data

With your permission, Paxo reads movement and fitness information from Apple Health, such as step count, walking and running distance, and active energy. Paxo uses this information to show your daily progress, goals, history, statistics, widgets and Apple Watch views.

Apple Health information is accessed only to provide app features. It is not used for advertising, marketing or data profiling, and it is not sold to or shared with data brokers.

You decide which Apple Health permissions to grant. You can review or revoke access at any time in the Apple Health app or your device settings. Paxo cannot read a category for which you have not granted permission.

4. Apple Game Center

Game Center is optional. If you choose to use Paxo's leaderboard, Paxo reads your step data through Apple Health and submits your daily and weekly step totals to Apple Game Center.

Those scores are associated with your Game Center profile. Depending on your Apple and Game Center settings, your name, avatar, leaderboard position and score may be visible to your Game Center friends.

Paxo does not operate its own database or cloud service to store leaderboards, player profiles or scores. Game Center is an Apple service, and Apple's terms and privacy policy govern Apple's processing of this information.

Paxo does not use Game Center information or the submitted step totals for advertising, profiling or tracking.

5. Information Stored on Your Device

Your movement history remains in Apple Health. Paxo does not upload that history to a Technologies Weslii account or cloud database. The exception is that Paxo submits daily and weekly step totals to Apple Game Center when you choose to use the leaderboard.

App preferences and settings, such as your daily goal, selected appearance, onboarding status and similar configuration, may be stored locally on your device. Data shared between your iPhone, Apple Watch and widgets is handled through Apple's device and system services.

Deleting Paxo removes information stored by the app on that device, subject to Apple's device backup behavior. It does not delete information stored in Apple Health; you can manage that information directly through Apple Health.

6. Purchases and Paxo Premium

If you purchase Paxo Premium, Apple processes the payment through the App Store. We do not receive your full payment card number or banking details.

We use RevenueCat to manage purchase status, subscriptions, entitlements and purchase restoration. RevenueCat may process an app-specific identifier, product and entitlement information, transaction status, subscription status and related technical information needed to provide paid features. This information is not used to access your Apple Health data.

Apple and RevenueCat process information under their own privacy policies. You can manage or cancel an App Store subscription through your Apple Account settings.

7. Technical Information

Like most apps and digital services, Paxo and the services required to deliver purchases may process limited technical information needed for security, reliability, troubleshooting and app functionality. This may include app version, operating system, device type, locale and diagnostic or transaction-related events.

We do not use this information to build advertising profiles, and Paxo does not display third-party advertising.

8. How We Use Information

We use information only as needed to provide and improve Paxo, display movement information you request, remember your settings, unlock and restore purchases, maintain security, diagnose technical problems, respond to support requests and comply with legal obligations.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information to perform our agreement with you, with your consent, to comply with law, or for our legitimate interests in operating and securing Paxo without overriding your rights.

9. When Information Is Shared

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share limited information only with service providers needed to operate Paxo, such as Apple and RevenueCat, or when required by law, necessary to protect rights and safety, or connected with a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition. When you use the optional leaderboard, Paxo submits daily and weekly step totals to Apple Game Center.

Service providers may use information only as permitted by their agreements and applicable law. Paxo does not share Apple Health data with RevenueCat.

10. Data Retention

Information stored locally remains on your device until you delete Paxo, reset its data or change the relevant setting. Apple Health retains health information according to your Apple settings and policies.

Game Center profiles, leaderboards and scores are stored and managed by Apple according to your Apple settings and policies. Paxo does not keep a separate copy in its own database or cloud service.

Purchase and transaction records may be retained by Apple, RevenueCat or us for as long as needed to provide and restore purchases, meet accounting or legal requirements, resolve disputes and prevent fraud. Support communications are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

11. Security and International Processing

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Our service providers may process information in Canada, the United States or other countries where they operate. Those countries may have privacy laws different from those in your place of residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border processing.

12. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You can control Apple Health access in Apple Health or iOS settings, choose whether to use the Game Center leaderboard, manage Game Center through your Apple Account and device settings, manage subscriptions through your Apple Account, and remove locally stored Paxo information by deleting the app.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we control, to withdraw consent, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to complain to your local privacy regulator.

Because Paxo does not require a Paxo account, we may hold little or no information that can be directly identified as yours. We may ask for information necessary to verify and process a privacy request.

13. Children's Privacy

Paxo is not directed at children under 13, or the minimum age required by local law to consent to data processing. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us to request its deletion.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when Paxo, our practices or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes may also be communicated in the app when appropriate.
