OriginalWalk
Privacy Policy
DoshCook LLC (the "Developer") sets forth the following regarding the handling of user information in the smartphone app "OriginalWalk" and related services (the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
In providing the Service, the Developer collects the following information. The Service does not ask Users to enter their name, address, or phone number.
(1) Information Entered by Users
- Email address (entered as the address to which the Gift Code is to be sent when applying to exchange Candy for Gifts in the Shop)
- Solana address (entered as the address to which USDC is to be sent when applying to exchange Candy for USDC in the Shop)
(2) Information Collected Through Use of the Service
- An ID for identifying the User (the ID of an anonymous account that is automatically created when the app is launched)
- Records of Raffle draws, Candy balances, and records of applications to exchange for Gifts and USDC (including records of USDC transfer transactions)
- Invite Codes for Invite Friends and records of invitations
- Records of the issuance of Server Seeds (random values used to calculate game results), kept so that the fairness of game results can be verified (the date and time of issuance and the values; the content and results of bets in Games are not sent)
- Information for confirming that the Service is being used from the genuine app (the results of verification using Apple's App Attest on iOS and Google's Play Integrity on Android)
- Device information for preventing fraudulent use of Invite Friends (a hash value created from an ID that the app creates for each device (iOS) or from the device ID (Android) is recorded; the Developer does not store the original ID)
- IP addresses, access dates and times, and communication records (logs of the Developer's servers)
- Records of app operations, device type, OS version, etc. (for analyzing usage)
- Advertising identifier (on iOS, the IDFA, only if tracking is allowed in the device settings; on Android, the advertising ID, which is not collected if the User has deleted it in the device settings)
(3) Steps
With the User's permission, the Service reads step counts from the following sources.
- iOS: the device's "Health" app (Apple Health)
- Android: either Health Connect or the device's step sensor, whichever the User selects under "Step Source" in the app's Settings. When the step sensor is selected, the app itself counts steps using the device's step sensor, and the step counts are stored only on the device.
Step counts are used only on the device to display and determine progress on Missions, and are never sent to the Developer's servers or to third parties. Step counts are also not used for advertising or marketing purposes.
(4) Information Stored Only on the Device
Coins, Tickets, Game records, records of claimed Missions, etc. are stored on the User's device and are not sent to the Developer's servers. To prevent the same Mission from being claimed again after the app is reinstalled, records of Missions claimed in the last 3 days are also stored in a location on the device that remains after the app is deleted (the Keychain on iOS, and Block Store of Google Play services on Android).
2. Purposes of Use
