Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 6, 2026 · Last updated: April 6, 2026

Huntify (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a mobile application designed for hunters in Scandinavia and Europe. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights over your data. By using Huntify you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly:

• Account: email address and password (stored and managed by Supabase Auth)
• Profile: first name, last name, username, bio, country of residence, profile photo
• Harvest entries: species, date, time, weight, sex, hunting ground name, notes
• Media: photos and videos you attach to harvest entries (up to 5 per entry)
• Weapons: brand, model, calibre, nickname, serial number, weapon type
• Team information: team name, membership, invitations

We collect information automatically when you use the app:

• GPS location data when you create a harvest entry. Precise coordinates are stored for your own entries and entries shared with accepted followers. Publicly visible entries use fuzzy coordinates (rounded to a ±5–10 km grid) to protect your hunting locations.
• Environmental context at the time of a harvest: temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, moon phase — fetched automatically and attached to the entry.
• Push notification token — collected once you grant notification permission, used solely to deliver activity alerts (likes, comments, follow requests).

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and operate the Huntify service
• Display your harvest entries on your profile, the social feed, and the map
• Enable social features: follows, likes, comments, @mentions, team collaboration
• Identify species from photos using AI (premium feature — see Section 5)
• Send push notifications for social activity you have opted into
• Process premium subscriptions and verify entitlements
• Display statistics about your hunting history
• Moderate content and respond to reports

3. Visibility and Sharing

Each harvest entry has a visibility tier you choose at the time of logging:

• Me — visible only to you. Precise GPS coordinates stored.
• Friends — visible to users you have accepted as followers. Precise GPS coordinates stored.
• Everyone — visible to all users and the public map. Only fuzzy coordinates are shown.

Team-tagged entries are additionally shown on that team’s private map tab. They do not appear on the main public map or on other teams’ maps.

Your profile (username, bio, country, avatar, harvest counts) is publicly visible.

4. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored in a Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL database (EU region). Row-level security (RLS) policies enforce that users can only read data they are authorised to see. Media files are stored in Supabase Storage with access controls matching the entry’s visibility tier.

Serial numbers for weapons are stored encrypted using pgcrypto. API keys and secrets are never bundled in the app binary — they are injected at build time via EAS Secrets.

We use industry-standard HTTPS for all data in transit. No data is stored in plaintext on your device beyond the local offline queue, which is cleared after successful sync.

5. Third-Party Services

• Supabase (supabase.com) — database, authentication, and file storage.
• OpenAI (openai.com) — premium AI species identification. Images are sent to OpenAI’s API and are not stored beyond the duration of the request.
• RevenueCat (revenuecat.com) — subscription management (coming in a future release).
• Expo Push Notifications (expo.dev) — delivery of push notifications.
• OpenFreeMap / Esri — topographic and satellite map tiles. No personal data is sent to these tile servers.

6. Children’s Privacy

Huntify is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under 16. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

7. Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your profile, harvest entries, media, and weapon records are permanently deleted within 30 days. Social data (likes, comments) may be anonymised rather than deleted where it is part of another user’s record.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your country of residence, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data via the Edit Profile screen
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Export your harvest data (contact us to request)
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent for notifications at any time via device settings

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@huntify.app. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will notify you via a push notification or an in-app notice.
