Our commitment: Walked? is designed with privacy at its core. Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We don't collect, sell, or share your personal information. We don't track your location. We don't run ads. We don't have servers.
What Data Does Walked? Store?
Walked? stores the following information locally on your device:
- Dog profiles — name and emoji avatar
- Walk schedules — walk labels (e.g. Morning, Evening) and optional scheduled times
- Walk logs — who walked the dog, when, and which walk
- Family member names — display names for people in your household
- Your display name — the name shown when you mark a walk as done
- App preferences — notification settings, daily reset time
All of this data is created by you and stored on your device.
iCloud Sync
If you use the Family Sharing feature (Pro), your dog and walk data is synced through Apple's iCloud (CloudKit). This means:
- Data is stored in your personal iCloud account, protected by your Apple ID
- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple
- Only people you explicitly invite via iCloud sharing can see your data
- We (Smart Kiitös Oy) have zero access to your iCloud data
- If you stop using iCloud sync, your data remains on your device
For details on how Apple handles iCloud data, see Apple's iCloud Privacy Overview.
What We Don't Collect
We collect nothing. Walked? has no servers, no analytics, and no way to access your data.
- No email addresses or phone numbers
- No account registration required
- No location data, GPS, or route tracking
- No photos or camera access
- No contacts access
- No browsing or usage analytics
- No advertising identifiers
- No third-party tracking SDKs
Notifications
Walked? uses local notifications (on your device) to remind you about walk times. These notifications are processed entirely on your device and are never sent to any server.
Subscriptions & Payments
Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store any payment information (credit card numbers, billing addresses, etc.). Apple processes all transactions according to their privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
Walked? uses no third-party services. There are no analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or social media SDKs in the app.
The only external service used is Apple's CloudKit for optional family sync, which is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Children's Privacy
Walked? does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app does not require any personal information to function — the display name you enter is stored locally and is never transmitted to us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
