Privacy Policy on Step Count Data (Android Version)

Last Updated: August 2026

 

Overview

This Application (“Macao Government Services One Account”, hereinafter “the Application”) respects and protects the privacy of your step count data. This Supplementary Privacy Policy (hereinafter “this Supplementary Policy”) explains solely how “My Health”, a service under the Application’s service list, collects, uses, stores, shares and protects your step count data through Google Health Connect.

“My Health” is a standalone service under the Application’s service list (not an app-wide feature). You must open it from the service list before you may grant permission to read steps; other services or features of the Application will not automatically read your step count data for that reason.

 

Nature and Scope of Application of the Policy

This Supplementary Policy applies only when you proactively open and use “My Health” from the Application’s service list, and the Application reads, uses, stores or processes your step count data through Google Health Connect. It does not apply to other services in the service list, nor to other features of the Application unrelated to “My Health”.

This Supplementary Policy is a supplementary document to the Application’s General Privacy Policy. Matters already stipulated in the General Privacy Policy but not specifically addressed in this Supplementary Policy shall remain governed by the General Privacy Policy. In the event of any inconsistency between this Supplementary Policy and the General Privacy Policy regarding the processing of step count data, this Supplementary Policy shall prevail.

For the content of the General Privacy Policy, please visit https://www.mo.gov.mo/statement .

Unless you open “My Health” from the service list and grant the corresponding permissions, the Application will not read your step count data through Google Health Connect. Not opening or enabling this service, or declining permission, will not affect other services in the service list or other basic functions unrelated to step count data.

 

Types of Data Collected

After you enter “My Health” from the service list and with your authorisation, the service reads only the following data through Google Health Connect:

• Step count (daily step count statistics)

The Application requests only the following Health Connect permission: android.permission.health.READ_STEPS, used to read your daily step count statistics. The Application does not read heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, calories, weight or any other Health Connect data types, and does not write any data to Google Health Connect, nor does it request any Health Connect permissions beyond the one stated above.

 

Method of Data Collection

The Application reads your step count data through the Google Health Connect platform only after you enter “My Health” from the service list and grant your explicit authorisation. You may revoke authorisation at any time via system settings or Health Connect permission management.

 

Purposes of Data Use

We collect and use your step count data solely for the following purposes of the “My Health” service, all of which are for your own viewing only:

• After you enter “My Health” from the Application’s service list, to sync and display your step count data on the “Step Sync” page, so that you can view your own daily walking and other activity data;
• To present charts showing trends in your step count data on the “Step Trend Chart” page within “My Health”, so that you can track long-term changes in your own physical activity;
• To check the achievement of exercise goals (such as 5,000 or 10,000 steps per day) in connection with the healthy living programmes of the Macao Health Bureau (your step count data can be viewed on the “Step Sync” page).

The processing of step count data is centred on providing you with access to view your own health data, and is for your own viewing only. We do not use step count data for advertising, marketing, insurance underwriting or employment decisions, and we do not sell it to third parties.

 

Data Storage and Security

The security of your step count data is of utmost importance to us, and we adopt the following technical measures:

• All step count data is protected using encryption technology during transmission;
• Data storage adopts industry-standard security measures;
• We do not sell your step count data to third parties;
• Access to your step count data requires strict identity authentication.

 

Data Sharing

Without your explicit consent, we will not share your step count data with any third party, unless:

• Where required by laws, regulations or court orders;
• Where necessary to protect our legitimate rights and interests or those of others;
• Where it is necessary to provide data to commissioned technical service providers for the provision, maintenance, hosting or technical support of the “My Health” service, and such service providers are bound by obligations of confidentiality, data security and purpose limitation.

 

Your Rights

Regarding your step count data, you have the following rights:

• To revoke access authorisation for specific step count data at any time;
• To request the deletion of your step count data;
• To request the correction of inaccurate step count data.

 

Data Retention

We retain your step count data only for as long as needed by the “My Health” service. After you revoke authorisation, disable the service or delete your account, we will delete the related step count data within a reasonable period (except where retention is required by law).

 

Children’s Privacy Protection

The Application does not knowingly collect step count data of children under the age of 14. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided personal information or data to us without your consent, please contact us.

 

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. In the event of significant changes, we will notify you through in-app announcements or other appropriate means.

 

Applicable Legislation

This Supplementary Policy and its implementation shall be governed by the provisions of Law No. 8/2005 (Personal Data Protection Law).
