Privacy Policy
Effective: September 13, 2026
Entity: Zilla Inc (“Walkzilla,” “we,” “us”), Washington, DC
Contact: support@walkzillaapp.com
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you use the Walkzilla mobile app (Section A) or the Walkzilla merchant SaaS platform and dashboard (Section B). We do not sell your personal data.
Apple in-app purchases for consumer subscriptions are handled by Apple under Apple’s Standard EULA:
https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Section A: Privacy Policy for Mobile App Users
1. Introduction
Zilla Inc respects your privacy. Walkzilla is a walking rewards marketplace: you can track walks, earn WalkPoints, redeem merchant discounts and coupons, and receive personalized AI SmartOffers when you are nearby. Auto-renewable consumer subscriptions (if any) are purchased through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Apple processes those payments. We do not store your Apple payment card.
2. Information We Collect
Location data: Precise GPS while the app is open or during active walks (with your permission), including routes, steps, pace, distance, and check-ins at partner locations.
Profile data: First name, email (optional), account settings, and related profile details.
Walk and rewards data: Walk history, WalkPoints balances, coupon and offer history, redemption records, and checkpoint visits.
User content: Photos or posts you voluntarily upload.
Friends / group walks: If you use friends or group-walk features, we collect the connections and group-walk activity you create or join (for example who walked together and related bonus eligibility).
Device and usage data: App version, device type, crash logs, and similar technical data needed to run and improve the app.
AI / personalization signals: Limited activity, location, and preference signals used to match nearby offers (including AI SmartOffers).
3. How We Use Your Data
- Power core features (tracking, maps, check-ins, WalkPoints, coupons, redemptions).
- Show relevant local offers and ads, including AI SmartOffers within merchant rules.
- Improve the app, fix bugs, and build aggregated datasets.
- Send service updates (only with consent where required).
We use your data to operate the mobile application, our databases, and related SaaS software. We do not sell your personal data.
4. Data Sharing
We share only what is needed to run the service, for example:
- With merchants you visit or redeem with: limited redemption and check-in details (such as timestamp, offer redeemed, and store location). Merchants receive aggregated or limited performance insights. We do not share your home address or your full walk path history with merchants unless you clearly choose to share something similar yourself.
- With AI and processing partners: limited data needed to generate SmartOffers and related features, under contracts that restrict use.
- With cloud hosting, database, and analytics providers (for example Firebase / Google Cloud category providers and similar).
- With Apple for App Store subscriptions and related account issues.
- Anonymized or aggregated stats with analytics partners.
We never sell your personal data.
5. Your Rights
- Turn off location in phone settings (location-based features will stop).
- Delete your account in Settings → Delete Account.
- Email support@walkzillaapp.com to request a data export or to ask questions.
- Depending on where you live (for example California), you may have rights to access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain “sale” or “share” practices. We do not sell personal data. To exercise rights, email support@walkzillaapp.com.
6. Payments & Subscriptions (Apple)
Auto-renewable subscriptions are purchased and managed through the Apple App Store. Apple handles billing, renewals, and cancellations. We do not store your payment card for Apple IAP.
7. Security & Retention
We use TLS encryption, access controls, and secure cloud servers. Walk and route data is generally kept for 24 months. Account deletion removes personal data within 30 days, except where we must keep records for law, security, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution.
8. Children
The Walkzilla app is not for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect children’s data. If you believe a child under 13 provided data, contact support@walkzillaapp.com and we will delete it.
9. Changes
We may update this Policy. For material changes, we will provide an in-app alert (and other notice as required by law). The Effective date above shows the current version.

Section B: Privacy Policy for Merchant Partners (SaaS Platform)
1. Introduction
This Section B covers the Walkzilla merchant dashboard and SaaS tools (offers, checkpoints, analytics, billing).
2. Information We Collect
Business profile data: Business name, contact information (email, address), account credentials, and payment details processed by Stripe.
Operational data: Menu items, pricing, discount settings, AI guardrails, virtual checkpoint placements, and usage analytics (redemptions, group walks, offer performance).
Performance data: Aggregated insights from tools such as SmartSummary and DriverAnalysis, including anonymized or limited user interactions with your offers.
3. How We Use Your Data
- Provide and manage SaaS features (dashboard access, AI SmartOffers, point tools).
- Process billing, SaaS fees, and commissions.
- Improve the platform, app, and datasets using anonymized usage patterns.
- Send service updates or notifications (with consent where required).
We do not sell your personal or business data.
4. Data Sharing
We share only:
- Necessary transaction details with payment processors (Stripe).
- Limited data with AI / cloud subprocessors that help run SmartOffers and hosting.
- Encrypted data with secure cloud providers (Firebase / cloud hosting category).
- Anonymized analytics with service providers as needed.
What merchants see about end users is aggregated or limited (offer and redemption performance). Merchants do not receive a walker’s home address or full GPS path history through our standard analytics.
We never sell your personal or business data.
5. Your Rights
- Access and update business information in the dashboard.
- Request data export or deletion via support@walkzillaapp.com.
- Opt out of non-essential communications.
6. Security & Retention
We use TLS encryption, secure servers, and access controls. Business data is retained for the duration of your active account plus 24 months for compliance and accounting. Upon termination or a deletion request, data is removed within 30 days unless law requires longer retention (for example invoices and tax records).
7. Children
The SaaS platform is for business users and is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect children’s data through the merchant platform.
8. Changes
We may update this Policy. Significant changes will be notified by email or dashboard alert. Continued use after notice means you accept the updated Policy where permitted by law.
