Stash game's Privacy Policy

Date of last update: 7 February 2021.

Location service

Every modern device such as a smartphone has a susbystem called a "Location service", which is able to detect an exact location of the device on the surface of Earth. The following statements explain how the app uses this service:

  1. This application needs the device's location service since that is essential for the app to function.
  2. The device location data is obtained even when the app is not running at the foreground or the device is in standby mode.
  3. The fact that the device location is used is clearly indicated by an icon in the device's notification bar. When such icon is not shown, the app is not using the device location services. The opposite is prohibited by the device's operation system.
  4. When the user explicitly exits the app by tapping the button "I want some rest", the app stops completely, the location service is not used anymore and the abovementioned icon disappears from the notification bar.
  5. The app need to know the location for the following purpose:
    1. To know if the player has physically approached a stash location.
    2. To measure the walking distance and speed. The more the user walks then more benefits (items and amounts) he/she will get.
  6. The application does not collect, share, or send the user's location anywhere.
  7. The user will be required to choose to "Allow" permission to access this device's location.
