1. Who We Are
HealthKoins ("we", "our", "us") operates the website www.healthkoins.com and the HealthKoins mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect information about you when you use our services.
2. Information We Collect
- Account information – name, email address and password (hashed) when you register.
- Health & fitness data – steps, active calories and activity data read from Android Health Connect or Apple Health on your device, used solely to calculate your HealthKoins rewards. This data never leaves your device without your explicit permission.
- Usage data – pages visited, features used, device type, browser, and IP address, collected automatically via server logs and analytics.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Provide, maintain and improve the HealthKoins service.
- Calculate and award coins based on verified physical activity.
- Display leaderboards, achievements and social features within the app.
- Send transactional emails (account verification, important service updates).
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data or health information to third parties, and we do not use your health data for advertising purposes.
4. Health Data — Android Health Connect & Apple Health
HealthKoins reads health and fitness data (steps, active calories) directly from Android Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health / HealthKit (iOS) on your device. All permissions are requested at the OS level — you can grant or revoke them at any time in your device settings.
- We request only the minimum permissions necessary: step count and active energy burned.
- Health data is transmitted securely to our servers solely to calculate your coin rewards and update your activity history.
- We do not share your health data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party.
- We do not use your health data for any purpose other than operating the HealthKoins reward service.
5. Data Sharing
We may share data with:
- Service providers – hosting (Vercel), database (Azure Cosmos DB), analytics — bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Legal authorities – if required by applicable law, court order or governmental authority.
- Business transfers – in the event of a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account and activity data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at customerservice@healthkoins.com. Health and fitness data is retained for up to 12 months to support historical analytics in the app.
7. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit and bcrypt password hashing. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data.
- Request deletion ("right to be forgotten").
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
- Data portability — receive a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at customerservice@healthkoins.com.
9. Children's Privacy
HealthKoins is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify you by email or an in-app notice.
