Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Hauntly (“the App”) is developed by Frumpets Ltd (“we,” “us,” “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Hauntly mobile application and our website at hauntly.me.

Contact: hello@frumpets.co

2. Information We Collect

Data Stored on Your Device Only (Not Transmitted)

The following data is created and stored locally on your device. It is never sent to our servers or any third party unless you explicitly choose to share it:

• Audio recordings (EVP sessions)
• Photos and videos
• EMF sensor readings
• Ghost hunt notes, markers, and journal entries

Data Collected by Third-Party Services

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

We display ads to free-tier users using Google AdMob. Premium subscribers do not see any ads. AdMob may collect:

• IP address (for approximate location)
• Device advertising identifier
• App usage and ad interaction data

This data may be used to show personalised ads based on your interests. You can opt out of personalised ads at: adssettings.google.com

For more information, see Google's partner policy.

4. Crash Reporting (Sentry)

We use Sentry to identify and fix bugs. Sentry collects:

• Crash logs and error reports
• Device type and OS version
• App state at time of error

This data does not include personal information and cannot be used to track you across apps.

5. Device Permissions

All recordings and media remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to share them.

6. Children's Privacy

Hauntly is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

7. Your Rights

We do not collect or store any personal data on our servers. All your ghost hunt data stays on your device and is fully under your control — you can delete it at any time by removing recordings, clearing app data, or uninstalling the App.

For data collected by third-party services (Google AdMob and Sentry), you can exercise your rights directly:

• Personalised ads (AdMob): Opt out via your device's ad settings or at adssettings.google.com
• Crash data (Sentry): Automatically deleted after 90 days. This data is anonymous and cannot identify you.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at hello@frumpets.co.

8. Data Retention

• Local app data: Stored until you delete it or uninstall the App
• Crash reports: Retained by Sentry for 90 days
• Ad data: Subject to Google's retention policies

9. Security

All data transmitted to third-party services uses TLS encryption. Your ghost hunt data (recordings, photos, notes) stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the App and on this page. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
