Effective date: 15 May 2026 · Version 1.1 · Primary jurisdiction: Victoria, Australia
Steadier is a movement app designed to help you build everyday strength and balance. This Privacy Statement explains what information Steadier collects, where it is stored, and how it is used. We have written it to be clear and direct, without unnecessary legal padding.
The short version: everything you do in Steadier stays on your device. No account is created, no email is collected, and nothing is sent to our servers.
1. Who We Are
The app, Steadier, is developed and published by Slowdance Systems Pty Ltd (“we”, “us”, or “the Company”), a proprietary limited company based in Victoria, Australia.
For the purposes of this Privacy Statement, Slowdance Systems Pty Ltd is the data controller. Our primary obligations are governed by Australian law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Where you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, additional jurisdiction-specific provisions apply — see Sections 11, 12, and 13 below.

2. What Steadier Collects
Steadier collects only the information required to deliver your daily movement programme. All information is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. None of it is transmitted to us or to any third party.
Information you provide
- Daily habit trigger preferences. The moments of your day you choose to attach movement to (for example, “waiting for the kettle” or “morning coffee”). You select these from a list in the app.
- Notification time preference. Your chosen check-in time (morning, midday, afternoon, or evening).
- Pocket nominations (Phase 2 and Phase 3 only). The named time slots you choose for your dedicated movement sessions.
Information generated by your use of the app
- Exercise completion history. Which movements you completed, on which dates, and for how long.
- Programme phase and progression dates. Which phase you are in and when you transitioned between phases.
- Milestone achievements. Badges and acknowledgements earned as you progress.
- Preferences. In-app settings such as daily reflection on/off, timer sound on/off, and reminder opt-ins.
- Retired exercise records. The IDs of any movements you have permanently stepped away from.
- Purchase state. Whether you have purchased Steadier Full. This is confirmed locally via Apple’s StoreKit framework.
What Steadier does not collect
Steadier does not collect:
- Email addresses
- Passwords or authentication credentials (no user account is created)
- Location data
- Health data from Apple Health or HealthKit
- Device identifiers, IP addresses, or advertising identifiers
- Browsing history or activity on other apps or websites
- Biometric data of any kind
- Payment card details or financial account information
- Any usage analytics or crash reports (no analytics SDK is included in the app)
3. Where Your Information Is Stored
All information collected by Steadier is stored locally on your iPhone using SwiftData, Apple’s on-device persistence framework. It is not transmitted to, or stored on, any server operated by Steadier or any third party.
Because all data is on your device, there is no cloud backup of your Steadier data unless you have enabled iCloud backup on your device through your iOS settings. iCloud backups are managed entirely by Apple and governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
4. How Your Information Is Used
The information stored on your device is used solely to operate the Steadier app for your benefit:
- To display your personalised daily movement card, matched to your chosen habit triggers.
- To track your progress through the programme and determine your eligibility to advance to the next phase.
- To show your milestone achievements and progress history.
- To schedule and deliver your optional daily check-in notification at your chosen time.
- To remember your in-app preferences across sessions.
Steadier does not use your information for advertising, marketing profiling, analytics, or any commercial purpose beyond operating the app for you.
5. Third Parties and Data Sharing
Slowdance Systems Pty Ltd does not share your personal information with any third party, with the following limited exception.
Apple StoreKit — in-app purchases
If you choose to unlock the full programme via the one-off in-app purchase, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Steadier does not receive, process, or store your payment details. Your purchase is linked to your Apple ID and governed by Apple’s Terms and Privacy Policy.
To restore a purchase after reinstalling the app, tap “Restore purchases” in the You tab. This communicates with Apple’s StoreKit to confirm your prior purchase. No personal information is sent to Steadier during this process.
No advertising networks
Steadier contains no advertising networks, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party tracking or analytics SDKs. You will never see advertisements in the app.
No analytics or crash reporting
Steadier does not include any analytics framework (such as Firebase, Mixpanel, or Amplitude) or any crash reporting service (such as Crashlytics or Sentry). Your usage of the app is not observed, measured, or reported to anyone.
6. Notifications
Steadier offers one optional daily check-in notification at a time you choose during onboarding. You can change or disable this at any time in the You tab or through iOS Settings.
Optional quiet reminders are also available for specific habit trigger moments and pocket session times (Phase 2 and Phase 3). These are all off by default and only active if you enable them.
Steadier does not send notifications when you are in Steady (Phase 4), and does not use notifications for marketing or promotional purposes.
Notification permission is requested once, during onboarding. You can revoke this permission at any time via iOS Settings → Steadier → Notifications.
7. Data Deletion
Because all your data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time by uninstalling Steadier from your iPhone. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data permanently.
There is no server-side data for Steadier to delete on your behalf. We do not hold any personal information about you on our systems.
If you have iCloud backup enabled on your device, a backup of your app data may persist in iCloud until your next backup cycle overwrites it. You can manage iCloud backups through iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
8. Children’s Privacy
Steadier is designed for adults aged 50 and above and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child under 13 has used the app, please contact us at [Email Protected]. Because all data is stored locally on the device, any such data can be removed by uninstalling the app.
9. Security
Because your data is stored on your device and not transmitted over a network, it is protected by your iPhone’s built-in security — including device encryption (enabled when you set a passcode), and iOS’s app sandboxing, which prevents other apps from accessing Steadier’s stored data.
We recommend keeping your iPhone’s operating system up to date and using a device passcode or Face ID / Touch ID to protect your device.
10. Your Privacy Rights — Australia
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information is held about you.
- Request access to that information.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Make a complaint if you believe your privacy rights have been breached.
Because Steadier does not hold any personal information on its own systems, most of these rights are exercised directly through your device. You can review or delete all your information by uninstalling the app.
For any privacy enquiry or request, contact us at [Email Protected]. We will acknowledge your enquiry within five business days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
11. Privacy Rights — European Economic Area and United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR applies to the processing of your personal data. This section supplements the rest of this Privacy Statement.
Legal basis for processing
Because all data in Steadier is stored and processed locally on your device, the processing is primarily carried out by your device on your behalf. To the extent we are considered to process personal data, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract: Processing your preferences, completion history, and purchase state is necessary to deliver the Steadier programme you have chosen to use.
- Legitimate interests: Delivering notifications you have requested and remembering your in-app preferences.
- Consent: Where you have opted in to specific notification types, your consent forms the legal basis for those notifications. You may withdraw consent at any time via iOS Settings.
Your rights under GDPR / UK GDPR
If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, a copy of it. Because all data is on your device, you can access it directly through the app.
- Right to rectification: You may update or correct your information at any time through the You tab in the app.
- Right to erasure: You may delete all your data at any time by uninstalling the app. We hold no data on our systems to erase.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict processing in certain circumstances. Given that processing occurs on your device, restriction is effectively achieved by uninstalling or ceasing to use the app.
- Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Because your data is stored in Apple’s SwiftData framework on your device, you may contact us and we will assist where technically possible.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests by contacting us at [Email Protected].
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent (such as optional notifications), you may withdraw consent at any time via iOS Settings → Steadier → Notifications.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [Email Protected]. We will respond within one month, and may extend by a further two months where necessary, in accordance with applicable law.
Right to lodge a complaint
If you are in the EEA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. A list of EEA data protection authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu.
If you are in the UK, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
International data transfers
Because all Steadier data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers, there are no international transfers of your personal data by Steadier. If Apple transfers data as part of iCloud backup, those transfers are governed by Apple’s own Privacy Policy and applicable data transfer mechanisms.
12. Privacy Rights — California (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) may apply to you. This section supplements the rest of this Privacy Statement.
Personal information we collect
Given Steadier’s on-device architecture, the personal information we collect is minimal. In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories as defined under the CCPA/CPRA:
- Commercial information: purchase state (whether Steadier Full has been purchased, confirmed via Apple StoreKit).
We do not collect identifiers such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, or device IDs. We do not collect geolocation data, biometric data, internet activity, inferences, or sensitive personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA.
How we use and share personal information
We use the information described above solely to operate the Steadier app on your device. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising. Purchase transactions are processed by Apple (see Section 5).
Your rights under CCPA / CPRA
As a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we have collected, used, shared, or sold about you.
- Request deletion of your personal information (achieved by uninstalling the app, as we hold no server-side data).
- Correct inaccurate personal information (via the You tab in the app).
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell or share personal information, so no opt-out is required.
- Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [Email Protected]. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days, and may extend by a further 45 days where necessary with prior notice.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Steadier does not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. No opt-out mechanism is required, but you may contact us at [Email Protected] if you have any questions.
Shine the Light
Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents may request information about personal data shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. Steadier does not share personal data with third parties for direct marketing and therefore no such disclosure applies.

The current version is always available at getsteadier.app/privacy. We encourage you to check back periodically.
