The short version
Steady Skipper is designed to keep your data on your device. We do not operate any server that the app communicates with, and there is no analytics or tracking SDK in it.
What the app uses
- Motion data from the phone's accelerometer and gyroscope is read live while a trip is in progress and processed entirely on your device to drive the balance simulation and scoring. It is not transmitted anywhere.
- Location (GPS), if you grant permission, is read live to measure speed and distance for scoring and for your trip's route map. It is processed and stored on your device only. Location access is optional: the app still works without it, just without the distance bonus.
- Trip history (score, distance, route and similar summary stats) is stored locally in the app's own storage. It is never uploaded to a server of ours, because none exists.
What is not collected
We do not collect, receive or have access to your motion data, location data or trip history.
Game Center
If you choose to sign in to Game Center, leaderboard scores and achievement progress are sent to Apple's Game Center service and governed by Apple's own privacy policy and terms. We never see this data directly. Signing in to Game Center is optional.
Sharing
The “Challenge Friends” feature only shares what you explicitly choose to share, through the standard iOS share sheet, to whatever destination you pick. Nothing is sent automatically.
Children
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and given the above, it has essentially nothing to collect regardless of the player's age.
Safety
Steady Skipper is entertainment software. It is not a driving aid or a safety device. Never interact with your phone while driving. See the safety notices in our terms and the Safety Disclaimer inside the app.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that changes what is collected or how it is used, the in-app version is updated and you will be asked to acknowledge it again. The new version is also posted here.
