Privacy policy

Last updated 5 November 2026.

StepDesk does not collect your data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. StepDesk makes no internet or local network connections, so nothing leaves your device.

Apple Health

StepDesk asks for access to Apple Health. You choose what to allow.

• Reads: heart rate (to show it live during a walk) and body mass (to estimate calories).
• Writes: one workout per walk with your pad (walking, indoor), with walking and running distance, active energy and heart rate. Demo mode walks are never written to Apple Health.

The Apple Watch app reads heart rate and writes the same workout with heart rate, active energy and distance. Health data stays in Apple Health on your devices. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and it is never used for advertising.

Bluetooth

StepDesk uses Bluetooth only to connect to your walking pad and to start, stop and change its speed. Nothing is sent over the internet.

Support log

StepDesk keeps a small support log on your device to help with problems. It is never sent automatically. It is shared only if you choose to, using Share support log in Settings.

Children

StepDesk collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
