Our Commitment to Privacy
Elf Hunter is designed with privacy in mind, especially because we know families and children use our app. We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice privacy to have fun.
Information We Don't Collect
Elf Hunter does NOT collect:
- Personal information (names, emails, addresses)
- Location data
- Photos or videos from your camera
- Audio recordings from your microphone
- Device identifiers or tracking information
- Analytics or usage data sent to external servers
Camera & Microphone Usage
Elf Hunter requires access to your device's camera and microphone for the AR gameplay experience:
- Camera: Used to display the augmented reality view where elves appear in your environment. The camera feed is processed entirely on your device and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.
- Microphone: Used to detect ambient noise levels for the "stay quiet" gameplay mechanic. Audio is analyzed locally in real-time and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.
Video Recording Feature
Premium users can record their elf hunting sessions. These recordings:
- Are saved directly to your device's Photos library
- Never leave your device unless you choose to share them
- Are entirely under your control
Local Data Storage
The app stores the following information locally on your device only:
- Your elf capture count and cake collection progress
- In-app purchase status
- App preferences and settings
This data never leaves your device and can be deleted by uninstalling the app.
In-App Purchases
Elf Hunter offers optional in-app purchases processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Apple's privacy policy governs these transactions.
