Player Privacy in Locatify’s Treasure Hunt Apps


At Locatify, your privacy is a top priority. We have been strengthening our user data retention and deletion policies to fully comply with regulations and guidelines to best protect the privacy of our players. 

Here’s a simplified overview of our privacy policy, outlining what information we store and how we handle your data.

Player Information Stored

When you interact with our treasure hunt games, certain player information is temporarily gathered and some of it is securely sent to our server for processing and storage.

Stored data facilitates your gameplay experience and ensures personalized interactions. Such as:

  • Player Profiles: Information like player names, optional email addresses, and gameplay history is stored securely on our servers.
  • Uploaded Content: Photos or videos submitted for challenges are stored for a limited period as outlined in our privacy policy.

Stored data is securely maintained for a defined duration. Refer to the App Privacy Policy for more details.

We Don’t Collect or Store

We don’t handle any financial data or save user location data. User location is only monitored within the app to automatically trigger location-based content.

Player Information Retention and Removal

For anonymous players, player-generated content stored on our servers is removed automatically 90 days after the game is played.Player information gets deleted automatically in several instances:

  • The game admin removes the game or the player from the game.
  • Anonymous player’s content is deleted automatically after 90 days.
  • Anonymous player accounts are deleted automatically after 90 days of inactivity.
  • Players with registered email accounts can delete their content through an email verification process.

Requested Data Deletion

Players who have signed up in-app with an email address (only some Locatify branded apps support it) can delete their account and all associated data upon request. This is done from our website with an email verification process.

Enhancing User Experience

To improve our apps, we collect anonymous analytics via Google’s Firebase service. This data solely serves to enhance your experience and is not shared with third parties.

Conclusion

At Locatify, ensuring your data’s safety and respecting your choices are integral to our services. Some data is gathered temporarily to enhance the gameplay experience but is never sent to our servers. The data we store, like player profiles and uploaded content, is automatically deleted upon game deletion or after three months. Inactive anonymous player accounts are removed after three months, while players who created accounts using their email addresses can request their accounts and all associated data to be deleted.
