Who is responsible

CreatifyHer LLC, New Mexico, USA (“Farangoo”), is the controller of your personal data. Contact: hello@farangoo.com.

What we collect and why

• Account: email address and the name you choose – to log you in and show you in the ranking and to your group.
• Trip answers: dates, airports, interests, budget, pace, transport, group size – to build your route.
• Location: only at the moment you press “Catch” or “Solve”, to check you are at the place. We store the position and accuracy of each catch to prevent cheating. We do not track you in the background.
• Camera: used live on your phone to show the creature. Images are never recorded or uploaded.
• Game data: cards, points, hints used, group membership.
• Payments: handled by Stripe as the seller of record (Stripe Managed Payments). Stripe collects your payment details, billing country and email to process the payment, calculate tax and prevent fraud, under its own privacy policy. We receive confirmation of payment, the amount and the package – never your card details.
• Menu translator (full quest only): the menu photo you choose to send is passed to our AI provider, Anthropic, to read and translate it. We do not store the photo; we only count how many translations you made each day to keep the daily limit. Your “I avoid…” choices stay on your phone.
• Ratings and reports: star ratings you give places and problem reports you send (reason, your text and, if you choose, your current position) – to keep our place information correct.
• Expenses: amounts, descriptions and who paid, shared only with the people on your trip.
• “Cards near me”: your position is used once, on your phone, to sort the nearest cards. It is not stored.
• Waitlist: email and travel month, if you signed up on our website.

Legal bases (GDPR): performance of our contract with you (account, route, game), our legitimate interest (fraud prevention, security, improving Farangoo) and your consent (optional statistics, marketing emails). You can withdraw consent at any time.

Ranking visibility

Your display name, points and number of cards appear in the public ranking unless you switch “Show me in the public ranking” off in your Passport. Players in your couple or group always see each other.

Cookies and storage

Essential (always on): login session and game progress saved in your browser. Optional (only with “Accept all”): anonymous usage statistics – not active yet; we will list the provider here before turning them on. We do not use advertising cookies.

Who we share data with

Service providers that run Farangoo for us: Supabase (database and login), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (payments, seller of record), Resend (login and invite emails), Anthropic (AI menu translation), OpenStreetMap/CARTO (map tiles) and Google Fonts (fonts). Partner sites like 12Go and Klook receive data only if you click a link and book with them. We never sell your data.

International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country (for example in the USA). Where required we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

How long we keep it

Account and game data: while your account exists, then deleted within 30 days of deletion. Catch locations and reports: up to 12 months. Menu photos: not stored. Payment records: as long as tax law requires. Waitlist: until you unsubscribe or we launch.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, object to processing or restrict it, and complain to your data protection authority. Write to hello@farangoo.com.

Children

Farangoo is not meant for children under 16 without a parent’s permission.

Changes

We will announce important changes in the app.
