Privacy Policy

Last updated November 13, 2026

Koto Walk is an interval walking app made by LaBounty Labs ("we"). The short version: there is no account, no ads and no tracking. Your walks stay on your phone.

No account, no tracking

You don't sign up or sign in. The app has no advertising, no analytics or tracking tools, and no data brokers. We don't sell or rent anything about you.

Location

• Koto Walk asks for your location only while you use the app, and uses it only during a walk you start.
• It uses your position on your phone to work out which blocks (map hexagons) you walk through.
• Your walks, blocks and routes are stored on your phone. They are not sent to us.
• You can turn location off at any time in Settings. The timer keeps working without it.

Apple Health

• If you choose to connect Apple Health, Koto Walk saves each walk there as a walking workout: its time, distance, route and an energy estimate.
• To estimate energy, it reads your most recent weight from Health, if Health has one. It reads nothing else.
• Health data stays on your phone and in Apple Health. We never receive it, and it is never used for advertising or shared with anyone.
• You can change what Koto Walk may read and write at any time in the Health app or in Settings.

Notifications

Koto Walk schedules notifications on your phone to cue a pace change if iOS closes the app mid-walk. They are created on your device. We don't send push messages.

Diagnostic logs

To help fix bugs, the app keeps logs of each walk on your phone, such as cue timing and GPS quality. They only leave your phone if you choose to export and send them to us yourself.

Purchases

Any purchase is handled by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details.

Coming features

Future versions may add an anonymous weekly leaderboard and private leagues. When they do, the app will upload only block IDs and times, never your GPS route, and never your name or contact details. We will update this policy before any such feature ships.

Children

Koto Walk is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

Everything Koto Walk stores lives on your phone. Deleting the app deletes it. Walks you saved to Apple Health stay in Health until you delete them there.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
