When you perform a test, this app retrieves the following information from your phone:
- The geographical position of your phone. This is used to compute the distance you walk.
- Movement measured by your phone, like acceleration, orientation and steps. This is used to complement the information about the distance.
- Model of your phone and operating system. This may be used to investigate if the app has issues with particular phones.
During the test, these data are temporarily stored on the phone. You can decide to share these data at the end of the test, using the dedicated button. This will allow you to select the mean (email, SMS or else) and the recipient and is totally under your control. When starting a new test, these data will be deleted.
A history of past tests is also kept. In this history only the date of the test, the duration, the distance you have walked and the number of steps are recorded. You can also decide to share this history, if you wish, using email, SMS or other with whom you prefer by tapping on the share button.
To keep your data safe, it is recommendable to set a password, or any other protection mean, on your phone to prevent any unauthorised person to access your data.
This app is released by the University of Malmö, Sweden. For any question related to data privacy, you can contact the author of the app at dario.salvi@mau.se or University's Data Protection Officer at dataskyddsombud@mau.se
