Scavengers Frontier is a location game, so it needs to know where you are while you play. This page says exactly what we collect, why, who sees it, and how long we keep it.
What we collect
| Data | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Google account email, name and profile photo | Signing you in and showing who you are to other players | Life of the account |
| Your bio and profile image | Shown to other players | Life of the account |
| Precise location while the app runs | Checking you are at a checkpoint, hunts near you, the pursuit map | Detailed history for 90 days; your last known position stays on the account |
| Hunts, checkpoints and photos you create or verify with | The game itself | Life of the hunt |
| Reports you file about a hunt (category, stop, note) | Shown to the hunt's creator without your identity; used to set the hunt's heads-up state | Indefinitely, pseudonymised after you delete your account |
| Acknowledgements before a start (the text shown, its version, the time) | A record of what you were told | Indefinitely, pseudonymised after you delete your account |
| Terms acceptance and year of birth | Age requirement (13+) and the record of your agreement | Life of the account; the acceptance record survives pseudonymised |
Who sees it
Other players see your name, bio, profile image and the hunts you publish. The creator of a hunt you report sees what you reported and where, but never who you are. We never sell data and show no advertising. We use SendGrid to send email, Amazon Web Services to host the service and store images, and Google for sign-in; each receives only what it needs for that job.
Children
Scavengers Frontier is for people aged 13 and over. If the year of birth you give tells us you are younger, we delete the account that was created at sign-in and its location history, and keep no note of it.
Your choices
You can withdraw location permission in your phone's settings; the game cannot verify checkpoints without it. To delete your account, email legal@scavengersfrontier.com from the address on the account. Your profile, location history and hunts are removed; safety records (reports and acknowledgements) are kept with your identity replaced by a one-way pseudonym, because they may be needed for legal claims. See the Terms of Service.
