Privacy Policy

At SUZUVERSE, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that are collected and recorded by SUZUVERSE and how we use it.

This Privacy Policy applies to our website and to the SuzuWalk mobile application (the "App"), and covers the information that users share with us and/or that we collect through them. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than our website and the App.

Information we collect
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.

When you register for an Account, we may ask for your contact information, including items such as name, company name, address, email address, and telephone number.

Health data: With your explicit permission, the App reads your step count and walking/running distance from Apple HealthKit (iOS) or Google Health Connect (Android). Details are in the "Health Data" section below.

We do not collect your location.

How we use your information
We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

Health Data (Apple HealthKit & Google Health Connect)
SuzuWalk integrates with Apple HealthKit (iOS) and Google Health Connect (Android) to power its step-counting features. We only read the following data, and only after you grant permission through your device's system prompt:

• Physical activity (iOS: Motion & Fitness; Android: Physical activity permission): movement detection for accurate step counting.

We do not access any other health data, such as heart rate, sleep, biometric data, clinical records or reproductive health data.

How we protect your health data:

• We do not sell, rent or share it with any third party, including advertising partners and analytics providers.
• We do not write any data into Apple Health or Health Connect, and we do not store health data in iCloud.
• It is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and stored securely on our servers with restricted access.
• You can stop access at any time in the App or in your device settings (iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Health; Android: Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Health Connect).
