Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information Uncloudy ("the App", "we", "us") collects, how it is used and how you control it. The App is developed and operated by Michael Starkov, an independent developer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

2. Using the App without an account

You can play without an account. Then everything the App records - sessions, routes, opened park areas, puzzle pieces and achievements - is stored only on your device, and nothing about you is sent to us.

3. Location

The App asks for permission to use your location "While Using the App". It uses your location:

• While you record a session - from pressing Start until you finish. Recording can continue while the screen is off; iOS then shows a blue location indicator.
• When you tap "My location", to centre the map on you.
• To sort parks by distance, using the last location your device already knows.

Your routes (the GPS track of a session) are stored only on your device and are never uploaded. The App does not use your location for advertising and does not track you when you are not recording.

4. Information stored with an account

If you create an account, we store:

• Account details - your email address, or the identifier and email provided by Sign in with Apple or Google (which may be a private relay address), managed by our authentication provider.
• Your username, which you choose.
• Park progress - which areas of Calgary's parks you have opened (as map grid cells inside parks, not GPS points) and when.
• Session summaries - start and end time, walk or bike, distance and the parks visited. Not the route.
• Totals calculated from the above: percent of park area revealed, parks visited and completed, total distance.
• Friends - the friend requests you send, receive and accept.
• Park ratings - the like or dislike you gave each park.

5. What other players can see

• Other signed-in players can see your username and totals (percent revealed, parks visited and completed, distance) on the leaderboard, in search and in their friends list.
• Park ratings are shown only as totals per park. Nobody else can see how you rated a park.
• Other players never see your routes, your email or where you are.

6. How we use information

Only to run the App: to save and restore your progress across devices, to show leaderboards, friends and park ratings, to secure your account and to answer support requests. We do not sell, rent or share your personal information for marketing. The App has no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking.

7. Service providers

The App relies on a few providers to work:

• Supabase - hosts the database and accounts of players who sign in. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS). Privacy Policy.
• Sign in with Apple (Apple Inc.) and Google Sign-In (Google LLC) - optional ways to sign in. Apple Privacy Policy, Google Privacy Policy.
• Map data - map tiles come from OpenFreeMap and terrain from Mapzen Terrain Tiles on Amazon Web Services. Like any website, these servers receive your IP address and which part of the map is shown, but not your location or identity.
• Expo (EAS Update) - delivers app updates and receives technical information such as the app version and device platform.

"Get directions" hands the park's location to Apple Maps or Google Maps, and "Wikipedia" opens Wikipedia in your browser; their own privacy policies apply there.

8. Retention and deleting your data

Account data is kept while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time in the App: Friends tab → Delete account. This immediately and permanently removes your profile, username, friends, park ratings, park progress and session summaries from our servers.

Data on your device, including routes, stays there until you delete the App. If you can no longer open the App, email us and we will delete your account for you.

9. Children

The App is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Your rights

You can change your username in the App and delete your account at any time. You can also contact us to access or correct the information we hold about you. In Canada you have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act; residents of other regions may have similar rights under local law.

11. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the App.
