Tread is provided as it is. It is a tool for spending less time on your phone, not a medical or fitness service, and nothing in it is health advice.
Tread is distributed through the App Store, so Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to your use of it. Where anything here disagrees with that agreement, that agreement wins.
Do not try to break the economy for other people. Groups are invite only and scores are days on pace rather than raw steps precisely so there is nothing worth farming, but if you find a way to cheat it, telling us is more useful than using it.
No app on iOS can make itself unremovable without enterprise management, and Tread does not claim to. It also depends on Apple's Screen Time APIs, which Apple changes; when they change, Tread may behave differently until it is updated.
What is stored and what is not is set out in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms.
