Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

Funsome may collect or use:

• Location: if you allow it, your device location, to show your position and find events near you.
• Saved area: your last selected area, stored on your device.
• Search area: the map area you are viewing, sent to our event and map services to show events and maps.
• Usage and crash data: app and device details, an app-instance identifier, how features are used, and crash reports, collected through Google Firebase. This does not include your GPS location.

Funsome has no user accounts and does not collect names, contact details, payment information, or advertising identifiers.

2. How we use information

We use information to display maps and nearby events, remember your selected area, understand feature usage, diagnose errors, operate and secure the app, and meet our legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising or cross-app tracking.

3. Sharing information

We use trusted service providers to host event information, provide map tiles and run analytics. They receive only what they need to provide these services. We may also disclose information where required by law.

If you choose to open an external event page, calendar, or maps app, that service's own privacy policy will apply.

4. International data processing

Some service providers may process information outside New Zealand. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps required by New Zealand law to ensure appropriate privacy safeguards are in place.

5. Your choices and rights

You can refuse or withdraw location permission through your device settings and browse the map manually.

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you may request access to or correction of personal information we hold about you, and you may ask us to delete it. Because Funsome does not use user accounts, we may hold little or no information that can be linked to you. Uninstalling the app removes the information stored on your device and resets the analytics app-instance identifier.

If you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy concern, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

6. Security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information, and information sent from the app is encrypted in transit. We retain it only for as long as needed to operate Funsome or meet legal requirements. Analytics data is kept for no longer than 14 months, and crash reports for up to 90 days.

Your last selected location remains on your device until it is replaced, you clear the app's data, or you uninstall the app. We do not intentionally maintain a server-side history of your device location. Our service providers may keep short-lived request logs, including search areas, for security and troubleshooting.

7. Third-party links

Funsome may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be published with a revised effective date.
