Your continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

Location data is essential to the core functionality of Let’s Go Squatch’N. We collect precise geolocation data (GPS) in real time when you are actively using the App to:

- Calculate distance from Home Base to scale prize drop quality
- Enable AR scanning and interaction
- Facilitate sponsor-related hunts (e.g., at dealerships or stores)
You may disable location services through your device settings, but doing so will significantly limit or prevent core gameplay features. Location data may be shared in anonymized/aggregated form with sponsors for traffic analytics.
4. Children’s Privacy
The Services are not intended for children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without verifiable parental consent through the family mode game play.
Family Mode allows supervised play for children, focusing on relic hunts drops and points. Parental consent is required for account creation and monitored use.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18 without proper consent, we will delete such information as quickly as possible. Parents/guardians may contact us at support@playitforwardstudios.com to request deletion or review.

We may share your information with:

- Sponsors and business partners for prize fulfillment, redemption, and limited visit analytics (anonymized where possible)
- Legal authorities, regulators, or courts if required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights/safety
- In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (your data may be transferred as part of the transaction)
We do not sell your personal information.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. After account termination, we generally retain data for a limited period for legal, security, and backup purposes, then delete or anonymize it.
