Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 25, 2026
Dispatch is a location-based scavenger hunt. We designed it to collect as little personal information as possible. This page explains what data the app uses, where it goes, and what choices you have.
Information we use
- Location (GPS). While you are playing a quest, the app reads your device’s GPS coordinates to show distance and direction to the next location and to detect when you have arrived. Your location is processed on your device and is not sent to our servers.
- Device orientation. The compass reads your device’s heading from the motion sensors so it can point toward your destination. This data stays on your device and is not stored.
- Quest progress. Quest codes you have entered, locations you have unlocked, and answers you have submitted are saved locally on your device (in browser storage / IndexedDB) so you can resume a quest. This data is not uploaded.
- Quest content. When you load the app, it fetches public quest data (titles, locations, questions, images) from our servers. These are normal web requests and may be logged by our hosting provider for security and reliability.
What we do not collect
- We do not require an account to play.
- We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or contacts.
- We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
- We do not sell your data.
Permissions
On mobile, the app asks for permission to use your location and motion sensors. You can deny or revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings. Without location access, navigation features will be unavailable, but you can still browse quests.
Children
Dispatch is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the app does not require an account or gather identifying details, no such information is stored.
Clearing your data
Because progress is stored locally, you can erase it at any time by clearing the app’s site data in your browser, or by uninstalling the mobile app.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to how Dispatch handles data, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
Your data
You can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account. You don’t need to be signed in.
