StepGuru Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

StepGuru is a walking and route-planning application operated by MediaGuruTV.

MediaGuruTV respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used and protected when you use the StepGuru application.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use StepGuru, the app may process the following information:

Location Information

StepGuru uses your location to help create a personalised walking route starting from your chosen location.

Location information is used to provide the core route-planning functionality of the app.

You can control whether StepGuru has access to your location through your device’s privacy and location settings.

Step Goal Information

StepGuru processes the walking goal or number of steps that you enter into the app in order to generate an appropriate walking route.

Device and Technical Information

The app or services supporting the app may process limited technical information where necessary to operate, maintain, secure and improve the service.

We do not ask you to provide personal information that is not necessary for the operation of StepGuru.

2. How We Use Information

Information processed by StepGuru may be used to:

Create personalised walking routes.
Calculate routes based on your chosen step target.
Provide mapping and navigation functionality.
Maintain and improve the app.
Identify and resolve technical problems.
Help maintain the security and reliability of the service.

We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to providing and improving StepGuru unless permitted or required by law.

3. Location Data

Location functionality is an important part of StepGuru because the app is designed to create walking routes based on where you want to start.

You may choose whether to grant StepGuru access to your device location. If location access is not provided, some StepGuru features may not function as intended.

You can change location permissions at any time through your device settings.

4. Third-Party Services

StepGuru may use third-party services to provide functionality such as maps, routing, hosting, analytics, crash reporting or other technical services.

Where third-party services process information on behalf of StepGuru, they are expected to handle information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

The specific third-party services used by StepGuru may change as the app develops.

5. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain the app, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Where information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it where appropriate.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Children’s Privacy

StepGuru is not specifically directed at children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:

Request access to personal information we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate information.
Request deletion of information in certain circumstances.
Object to or restrict certain processing.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Requests should be made using the contact details provided below.

9. UK Data Protection

Where applicable, MediaGuruTV will process personal information in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to StepGuru, our services, technology or legal requirements.

Any updated version will be published on this website with a revised “Last updated” date.
