Privacy Policy

Effective June 13, 2026

Overview

AuraPic is a location-based photo scavenger-hunt game. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We collect the minimum needed to run the game.

Information we collect

Account: if you create an account, your email address. You can play as a guest without one.

Location: precise GPS coordinates when you create or play a hunt, used to place and verify hunt locations. Location is captured only while the app is in use.

Photos: images you capture as hunt targets or to match a target. Photos you publish are stored in our cloud so other players can play your hunt.

Gameplay: hunts you create, complete, and your scores/times.

Device basics needed to operate and secure the service (e.g. crash diagnostics).

How we use it

To run the core game: place hunt pins, verify you are at a location, and sync your hunts across devices.

To keep the service safe: prevent abuse, spam, and unsafe or illegal content.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your photos or location for advertising.

Location precision and published hunts

When you publish a hunt, its location becomes available to players who choose to play it. Do not publish hunts at private residences, schools, or other sensitive or unsafe places. You are responsible for the locations you publish.

We take steps to reduce the precision of publicly browsable location data and to remove hunts that violate our rules.

Sharing and third parties

We use Supabase (database, authentication, and file storage) as our backend provider to store your account, hunts, and photos on our behalf.

We disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of people or the public.

Your rights and choices

Access & deletion: you can permanently delete your account and all associated data from within the app (Profile → Delete Account). This erases your published hunts, photos, and on-device data.

You may request a copy of your data, or correction of it, by contacting us.

Depending on where you live (e.g. EEA/UK under GDPR, California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights. We honor these requests.

You can revoke camera and location permissions at any time in your device settings; some features will stop working.

Children

AuraPic is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your content and queue your account record for removal.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date and, where appropriate, in-app notice.
