App: CulTreck (com.cultreck.app)
CulTreck helps visitors explore cultural landmarks in Heraklion, Crete using on-device camera recognition, maps, and optional account sign-in. This policy explains what data we collect and why.
Data we process
Camera. Camera frames are processed on your device for landmark recognition. We do not upload live camera video to our servers.
Location. Approximate or precise location (when you grant permission) is used on-device to improve landmark detection near sites and to show your position on the map. Location is not sent to a CulTreck backend for tracking.
Accounts. If you sign in (for example with Google), Firebase Authentication stores account identifiers such as email and display name. Optional profile data may be stored in Firebase Firestore for your account.
Photos. Photos you capture can be saved to your device gallery or shared through apps you choose. CulTreck does not operate a photo hosting service.
Advertising. Google AdMob may collect device and usage identifiers to show ads, subject to Google’s advertising policies and your device ad settings.
Crash reports and analytics. If the app crashes or you use certain features, Google Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics may collect device and diagnostic information to help us fix problems. This does not include live camera video.
Permissions
CulTreck may request camera and location permissions. You can revoke them in system settings; some features will then be limited or unavailable.
Third parties
• Google Firebase (authentication, optional account storage, crash reporting, analytics): https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Google / AdMob (ads): https://policies.google.com/privacy
• OpenStreetMap contributors (map data shown in the app; attribution in Settings)
Children
CulTreck is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). Do not create an account if you are under that age.
Your choices
You may continue as a guest without an account, sign out, or delete your account from within the app when signed in. You can also clear app data or uninstall CulTreck.
