Nigelware ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Love Hunt mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.
Information We Collect
User-Created Content
Love Hunt allows you to create scavenger hunts that include:
Hunt Details: Titles, clue text, and final reveal messages you write
Photos: Images you select from your photo library or capture with your camera for cover images, step clues, hints, and the final reveal
Audio Recordings: Voice recordings you create as audio hints for hunt steps
Passcodes: Text-based passcodes you set for step unlocking (stored in hashed form when published)
Automatically Collected Data
Device Information: iOS version and device model (for app optimization and compatibility)
Usage Data: How you interact with app features, including hunt creation and play activity
Subscription Status: Whether you have an active subscription, managed through our payment provider
Data You Choose to Share
Published Hunts: When you publish a hunt, its content (title, clues, photos, audio, and final reveal) is uploaded to Apple's iCloud servers so that recipients can access it via a share link
Feedback: Any feedback or support requests you choose to submit
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
Provide the core App functionality: creating, publishing, sharing, and playing scavenger hunts
Store and deliver published hunts to recipients via Apple CloudKit
Manage subscription status and enforce publish limits for free users
Improve app performance and user experience
Provide customer support when requested
Data Storage and Security
Local Storage
Draft Hunts: Hunts you create are stored locally on your device using SwiftData until you choose to publish them
Received Hunts: Hunts you receive are downloaded and stored locally on your device
Preferences: Your app settings and publish count are stored locally on your device
Cloud Storage
Published Hunts: When you publish a hunt, its content is uploaded to Apple's CloudKit public database so recipients can access it. This includes the hunt title, clue text, photos, audio recordings, and final reveal content
Automatic Expiration: Published hunts automatically expire and are removed from cloud storage after 30 days
Passcode Security: Any passcodes set on hunt steps are cryptographically hashed before being stored in the cloud. The original passcode text is never uploaded
Important: When you publish a hunt, the content you include (text, photos, audio) becomes accessible to anyone who receives the share link. Please do not include sensitive personal information in your hunts.
Device Permissions
The App may request the following device permissions:
Camera: To capture photos for use as clues, hints, or the final reveal in your hunts
Photo Library: To select existing photos for use in your hunts

These permissions are optional and only requested when you use the corresponding feature. You can manage these permissions at any time through your device's Settings app.
