This Privacy Policy explains how Okasoft ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use Walking World (the "Game").
Walking World is a mobile game where your real-world walking steps are used to move your avatar around a world map, discover countries, cities, treasures, and other in-game content.
1. Information We Access and Collect
Physical Activity Data
Walking World requests access to physical activity data to obtain information about your walking steps. This information is used as a core gameplay resource.
We use physical activity data to:
- Determine the number of walking steps you have accumulated.
- Add walking steps to the in-game Step Bucket.
- Allow you to use accumulated steps to move your avatar.
- Provide gameplay statistics and progression related to walking.
Walking World does not require precise GPS location data for its core step-based gameplay. Physical activity permission and location permission are separate permissions.
Game and Gameplay Data
Walking World stores game-related information necessary to provide and preserve your gameplay experience. This may include:
- Steps collected and used in the Game.
- Your in-game progress and statistics.
- Countries and cities you have visited.
- In-game coins and other game resources.
- Vehicles and their usage or progression.
- Treasures, flags, and other game discoveries.
- Game settings and preferences.
Gameplay data is primarily stored locally on your device using local application storage. The Game does not require you to create an account to play.
Analytics Information
Walking World uses Firebase Analytics to understand how the Game is used and to improve its functionality. Firebase Analytics may automatically collect certain app usage, event, device, and technical information.
We may also send gameplay events to Firebase Analytics, such as interactions with game features, in order to understand game usage and improve the experience.
Crash Reporting
Walking World uses Firebase Crashlytics to identify and diagnose crashes and technical problems and to improve the stability and reliability of the Game.
Firebase Crashlytics may process information associated with crashes, such as crash logs, device information, operating system information, app version, and other technical information necessary to diagnose and resolve problems with the Game.
Advertising Information
Walking World uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements, including rewarded advertisements.
Depending on the user's device, settings, consent status, and the advertising configuration, AdMob may process information such as IP address, advertising or app-related identifiers, device information, diagnostic information, and interactions with advertisements or the Game.
AdMob may use this information for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, and related purposes.

Walking World uses Google Maps functionality to provide its world map. Google services may process technical information and information associated with map requests in accordance with Google's applicable policies.
