When you turn on Sport Steps or step rankings, SIKKAT asks for your explicit permission to read daily step-count data in read-only mode from Apple Health on iOS or Health Connect on Android. Android may also request physical activity recognition permission. We do not write Health data and do not use this permission to read heart rate, medical records, or other health data types.
To provide step sync, daily step notifications, rankings, and likes, we may send your account identifier, step date, step count, and sync time to our servers over an encrypted connection. Your nickname, avatar, step count, and rank may be visible to users participating in the relevant ranking. We do not sell this data or use it for advertising.
You can stop collection at any time by disabling Sport Steps in SIKKAT or revoking the permission in Apple Health, Health Connect, or system settings.
Friend Discovery is optional. With your permission, SIKKAT reads contact names and phone numbers on your device to help you find people you may know. Contact names and raw phone numbers are not uploaded. Phone numbers are normalized on the device and converted to SHA-256 digests. Only those digests and temporary reference identifiers are transmitted to our server for matching.
The server processes submitted digests only for the current matching request, protects the comparison with an additional server-side secret, and does not retain uploaded address-book names, raw phone numbers, submitted digests, or temporary references after returning the result. This data is not shared with third parties and is not used for advertising. You may deny or revoke Contacts permission and continue to add contacts manually.
SIKKAT Social, discovery, matching, nearby profiles, and related interaction features are available only to users aged 18 or older. We collect the age you enter to enforce this restriction. Profiles without a valid age from 18 through 120 cannot use or appear in matching and discovery features.
We prohibit child sexual abuse and exploitation, grooming, sexualized content involving minors, and attempts to contact minors for sexual purposes. Users can block and report accounts or content in the app. We review reports, remove violating content, restrict or terminate accounts, preserve relevant evidence where legally required, and report apparent child sexual abuse material to the appropriate authorities or designated organizations when required by law. Child-safety concerns may be sent to admin@sikkat.com.
We retain account, social profile, and step records only as long as needed to provide the requested service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and protect users. Contact matching submissions are processed ephemerally as described above. You may use the in-app account deletion function to permanently delete your account, or contact admin@sikkat.com for access, correction, deletion, or privacy questions. We use access controls, encrypted transmission, and other reasonable safeguards, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
