Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the Hide and Seek app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by Gareth Richards (collectively, the "Application"). Gareth Richards is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider".
What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?
The Application does not collect, log, or store any personal information when you download and use it. Registration is not required. If the Application is used with an active internet connection, technical protocol data (such as your ephemeral IP address) is transmitted to facilitate network connectivity, but this data is not retained or used for tracking.
Does the Application collect precise real time location information of the device?
This Application does not collect precise information about the location of your mobile device.
Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Application?
Since the Application does not collect any information, no data is shared with third parties.
What are my opt-out rights?
Since the Application does not collect personal information through normal use, uninstalling it simply removes the Application from your device.
If you contact the Service Provider directly or voluntarily provide information by other means, you may request deletion of that information by contacting garethr1989@googlemail.com.
Children’s Privacy
The Application is designed for players of all ages, including children under 13. The Service Provider is fully committed to protecting children's privacy and complies with global children's online privacy protection regulations, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Because the Application does not track users, require account registration, or use third-party analytics SDKs, we do not knowingly collect, request, or store any personal information from children under 13, nor do we market to them. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information voluntarily by contacting us directly via email, they may reach out to the Service Provider at garethr1989@googlemail.com, and we will immediately delete such information from our records.
Security
Because the Application does not collect personal data, the risk of personal data exposure is minimal. However, no security system is completely secure. The Service Provider implements reasonable safeguards to protect systems and any data it holds.
Data Breach Notification
Since the Application does not collect personal data through normal use, the risk of a data breach affecting your personal data is minimal. If a breach occurs involving any data you have voluntarily provided, the Service Provider will notify you as required by applicable law.
Changes
The Service Provider may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The Service Provider will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy with an effective date. Where required by law, the Service Provider will seek your consent to material changes before they take effect.
Previous versions of this Privacy Policy will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting the Service Provider at garethr1989@googlemail.com.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-07-15
Your Consent
If you voluntarily provide information to the Service Provider and processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.

If you have any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, or have questions about the practices, please contact the Service Provider via email at garethr1989@googlemail.com.
