WalkBuddie respects your privacy. We collect the information you provide when you create a profile (such as your name, photo, age, neighborhood, and preferences) and information needed to operate the app. To operate the chat feature, the messages you send are stored so they can be delivered to the people you are chatting with. We use your information only to provide and improve the app and to connect you with other users. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not read your private conversations except where necessary to respond to a report or keep the community safe. Your profile information is visible to other users as part of how WalkBuddie works. We take reasonable steps to protect your data, but no system is completely secure. You may request that your account and data be deleted at any time through the app.
