Privacy Policy

Last modified: April 1, 2023.

Strollhunt Limited is the developer of the Strollhunt: Walk, Play, Learn mobile application, a location-based city exploration game that is played in the real-world. For the game to be played in the real-world, we need to collect and use information about you. We take privacy protection seriously and solely use this information where we have a legal basis to do so.
This Privacy Policy details what information is being collected, how it is being used, your rights and how you can control your Personal Data.
This Privacy Policy only covers the use of any information that can or could be used to identify you ("Personal Data"), and does not cover information which cannot be used to identify you ("Anonymous Data").
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service which set out the contract between you and Strollhunt Limited.

1. Information we collect

By signing up for our Services (the "Services"), by for example signing up for an account, you freely give us Personal Data. We collect and use that information in order to authenticate you when signing up, logging in and using the Services.
To use our Services, you must have an account with a supported external single sign-on service (Sign In with Apple for iOS users or Sign In with Google for Android users). As a result, the Personal Data we collect also depends on the privacy policy of the external single sign-on service you use, and what your privacy settings with this service allow us to see when you use their services to access our Services.
For iOS users, by using Sign In with Apple to create an account on our Services, we will collect your email address on file with your Apple ID or a private relayed email address if you select the Hide My Email option provided by Apple. For Android users, by using Sign In with Google to create an account on our Services, we will collect your email address on file with your Google Account.
Location awareness is essential to the delivery of our Services to present you with the closest Hunt(s), Clue(s), Playground(s) and to validate your Answer(s) to Clue(s). We therefore need to collect and use your device location information as you use our Services (and, if you allow background location access for our Services, while you are not directly using the Services).
We collect and use your interactions with our Services, such as but not limited to the Hunts you have completed, the Clues you have solved, the Hints you have used, the Points you have earned to offer you a personal experience and to improve the functioning of the Services.

We use your device information and email address in order to send you updates and news either within the app or by email.
We use your internal account ID in order to associate with your account content that you decide to freely generate and distribute through the Services (such as new Hunts, Clues, Hints, Text, Location and Image Answers, Nearby locations).
We use this information to provide features enabling you to interact and play with other users, including inviting your friends, and sharing your game experience with them.

Additionally, when you encounter certain errors while using the app, we automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information that may have contributed to the problem.

2. Legal bases for processing

We will process your Personal Data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so.
These legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them, meaning we collect and use your information only where:
