Health Connect & Platform Disclosure (Android-specific)

When you connect Social Limits to Google Fit or Health Connect, Android will present a permissions dialog describing the exact data types (e.g. Steps, Distance) that the app requests. Granting permission allows Social Limits to read those data types solely to enable the core feature of unlocking social media once your daily step goal is achieved. Social Limits does not write data back to Google Fit/Health Connect and does not share the retrieved data with third parties. You can revoke access at any time in Android → Settings → Security & privacy → Health Connect.
