Welcome! You have arrived at Impact (the “Application”), an application owned and operated by Green Freedom Private Limited (“Company” or “Impact” or “Impact App” or “we,” “our” or “us”).
We know you are excited to walk, jog and run for charity, but it is important that you carefully read these Terms of Service (“Terms”), as they govern your use of the Application and affect your legal rights and obligations. Please also read our Privacy Policy , which describes how we may use certain information that we collect when you use the Application.
By accessing and using the Application, you agree to these Terms and consent to the Privacy Policy. We think these Terms are more than fair and simple to understand. And, as you can read in our Privacy Policy, your privacy is of utmost concern to us. However, if you do not agree to these terms, or if you do not consent to the Privacy Policy, then please do not use the Application
Impact App allows you to earn money for charitable causes (referred to as “Charity”) while walking, running, and participating in other activities ( an “Activity”). You are accessing this Application from an iPhone, Android phone or, possibly, some other device (each, a “Device”). When you use the Application, for active walks we use your Device’s GPS functionality to measure the distance of your Activity and for passive we use device step count ( via Google Fit or Health App). For every kilometer (or portion thereof) that you travel using the Application, you can earn money for a Charity sponsored by a corporate-firm or a brand (referred to as “ Sponsor”). Here’s how…
Active Walk- Select a charity on Impact to want to walk, run or jog for… And then press the “LET’S GO” button to start a session. Once you start a session, the Application will track your distance and, you can raise up to 5 Rupees per kilometer for your chosen Charity while walking or running. The Application will convey your achievements both in terms of: (i) the kilometers you complete; and (ii) the real-world impact that you are creating to help people on the ground. Please note that our expressions of your real-world Impact are good-faith approximations and may not be exact in each case.
Passive Walk- Steps taken by you through the day as verified by Google fit, minus the steps taken during your actively tracked workouts. Passive workouts have half conversion rate i.e 500 Steps contribute to Re. 1. At the end of the day (i.e every day at 23:59) a passive workout is created that is cumulative of all the undonated steps taken by you. These steps are now available for donation for the next 24 hrs. If left undonated for more than 24hrs, these steps are counted as a workout but no more charity can be raised from them.
Payout: The money gets transferred from the Sponsor to the Charity after the in-Application milestone is reached.
Cheating: The Application has fairly sophisticated algorithms to detect cheating i.e. using wheels. So, if you cheat, it will probably be obvious to us and we reserve the right to disqualify any session that appears suspicious, with or without notice to you. Of course, if you’re really determined to cheat, then we probably can’t stop you. But if that’s the case, then you’ll just have to live with yourself as one. You’re on the honor system here. So, please be ethical with a charity app like us and don’t cheat. Instead, get fit do good.
