Privacy policy

MostHunted is a real-life chase game played on a map. To run a game we need to know where players are while that game is on. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address and a scrambled (hashed) version of your password. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
• Location: your phone's position while a game you joined is in the lobby or running. In the app this continues with the phone locked, so the game keeps working in your pocket.
• Game activity: the games you join, your team, catches, transport rides you log and messages from the game master.
• Technical data: a session token that keeps you signed in, and your language choice.

Why we use it

• To run the game by its rules: showing positions to other players only when the rules allow it, checking the game area, and sending alerts.
• To keep your account working and secure.
• To see, in total numbers, how the service is used.

We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.

Who can see your location

Other players in the same game, and only as that game's rules allow: for example chasers during a reveal. The game's organizer can see all positions when they are not playing themselves. When a game ends, everyone in it can see where the teams were at the end.

When location sharing stops

Location is only collected for a game you have opened and joined. It stops when the game ends, when you leave the game, or when you sign out. You can also turn off location for MostHunted in your phone's settings at any time; the game will not work without it.

How long we keep it

We store your most recent position for each game, not a history of your movements. It is kept with the game until the organizer deletes the game or you delete your account. Account details are kept until you delete your account.

Who helps us run the service

• Our hosting provider stores the data on a server in the European Union.
• The map is loaded from a map provider, which receives your device's IP address when map images are fetched.
• Emails such as password resets are sent through an email delivery service.

Your rights

You can see and correct your account details, delete your account and its data from within the app or the website, and ask us for a copy of your data. If you are in the EU, you also have the right to object to processing and to complain to your data protection authority.

Age

MostHunted is for players aged 16 and over. Younger players need a parent or guardian to create the account and to be present during the game.
