2Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use the Platform.

Information You Provide

Account Information

When creating an account, we may collect:

• Name
• Username
• Email address
• Password
• Date of birth
• Time zone, which we use to schedule your daily check-in deadlines

We use this information to create and secure your account, verify your eligibility, and personalize your experience.

Identity and Eligibility Information

To determine whether you are eligible to participate in certain Hunts, we may collect:

• State or country of residence
• Information necessary to verify your identity where required by law or our fraud-prevention procedures.

Payment Information

Payments, stakes, refunds, and payouts are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. Your full bank account numbers, card numbers, and banking login credentials are entered directly with Stripe and are never stored on, or accessible to, Huntz.

Stripe may share limited information with us so we can operate Hunts, such as:

• Transaction confirmations and payment status
• Payout status
• The last four digits of a payment method or bank account, and the bank or card type
• Fraud-prevention and verification signals

Stripe's handling of your information is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy, available at stripe.com/privacy.

Hunt Activity

When participating in Hunts, we collect information relating to your participation, including:

• Hunts joined
• Entry fees
• Progress submissions
• Photos
• Videos
• Written reflections
• Completion history
• Verification outcomes

This information allows us to operate Hunts, determine outcomes, prevent fraud, and improve the Platform.

Communications

We collect information when you communicate with us, including:

• Customer support emails
• In-app support requests
• Dispute submissions
• Survey responses
• Feedback

Host Applications

If you apply to become a Hunt Host, we may collect:

• Application responses
• Social media usernames or profile links
• Audience information
• Other information you choose to provide during the application process

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Platform, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• Device type
• Operating system
• Device model
• App version
• IP address
• Device identifiers
• Crash reports
• Browser type
• Session information
• Usage analytics
• Features accessed
• Time spent using the Platform

We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address to determine jurisdictional eligibility and improve security.

We do not collect precise GPS location unless you separately choose to enable a future feature requiring location.

Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from third-party providers, including:

Payment Providers

Our payment processors may provide:

• Transaction confirmations
• Payment status
• Fraud prevention signals
• Verification information

Social Media Usernames

Huntz does not connect to, or require access to, your social media accounts. For Hunts that involve social media activity (such as posting on TikTok, LinkedIn, or Instagram), you enter the username of the account you will use before the Hunt begins, and you are expected to use that same account for the entire Hunt.

Proof is submitted manually by uploading it through the Platform. We do not access your social media accounts, we do not receive your social media passwords, and we do not post content on your behalf.

Service Providers

We receive information from vendors that help us provide our services, including analytics providers, cloud hosting providers, customer support platforms, and security providers.

Apple Health

If you join a Hunt that counts steps, Huntz reads step counts from Apple Health during your step sessions, with your permission, and stores the session totals and checkpoints as your proof. We never use Apple Health data for advertising or marketing, never sell it, and never share it with anyone other than the service providers that host Huntz. You can withdraw access at any time in the Health app.

Information We Do Not Collect

Unless specifically stated otherwise, Huntz does not collect:

• Biometric identifiers such as facial geometry templates, fingerprints, or voiceprints
• Precise GPS location
• Contact lists from your device
• Health information from Apple Health beyond the step counts described above, or from Google Health Connect or similar device health APIs

Although users may voluntarily upload photos or videos as proof for Hunt verification, Huntz does not use those images to create or store biometric identifiers.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.

3How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to operate, improve, and secure the Platform.

Specifically, we use your information to:

• Create and manage your account
• Verify your identity and eligibility
• Operate Hunts
• Record proof submissions
• Verify Hunt completion
• Calculate payouts
• Administer dispute processes
• Process payments
• Detect fraud
• Prevent abuse
• Prevent multiple or fake accounts
• Protect Platform security
• Respond to customer support requests
• Communicate important account updates
• Send transaction confirmations
• Send proof reminders
• Send payout notifications
• Improve Platform functionality
• Develop new features
• Measure Platform performance
• Comply with legal obligations
• Enforce our Terms of Service

Proof Review

We use automated checks and review by authorized members of the Huntz team to process proof submissions. Automated processes apply each Hunt's deadlines, grace allowances, and completion rules, including marking missed proof and determining whether a participation has succeeded or failed. Payout calculations and processing may also happen automatically. These processes can affect a participant's stake, payout, or eligibility without an individual human decision. Authorized Huntz personnel review submissions that need human judgment and handle disputes.

Huntz does not use artificial intelligence to review proof submissions, and we do not share proof submissions with third-party AI providers. If we introduce AI-assisted review in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify users before it applies to their submissions.

We do not use your proof submissions to train artificial intelligence models.

Users may dispute verification decisions in accordance with our Terms of Service.

Marketing

With your consent, we may send newsletters, announcements, promotional emails, and product updates.

You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or through your account settings.

Certain transactional communications, such as payment confirmations, dispute notices, proof reminders, and security notifications, cannot be disabled while you have an active account or active Hunt.

Analytics

We use PostHog to understand how the app is used: the screens you open, the actions you take, your account id, name and email address, and session recordings. PostHog also receives error and crash reports from the app and our servers so we can find and fix problems. PostHog processes this data for us in the United States.

Session recordings mask text input fields and images. We also mask displayed bank details, dates of birth, avatar content, and Apple Health step readings. Masked content is covered before recordings are sent to PostHog. Device console logs and network request or response data are not collected as part of session recordings.

4Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable, we process personal information based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Performance of our contract with you
• Your consent
• Our legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, security, customer support, analytics, and product improvement
• Compliance with legal obligations

5Your Content and Public Visibility

Your proof submissions, including photos, videos, written reflections, and other verification materials, are private by default.

Proof submissions can be accessed by:

• You
• Authorized Huntz personnel responsible for verification, moderation, fraud prevention, or customer support
• Cloud hosting and storage providers that store data on our behalf and may not use it for their own purposes
• A friend you have linked with in a Hunt, only if you turn on evidence sharing for that Hunt. Evidence sharing is off by default, covers only submissions made after you turn it on, and can be turned off at any time.

Other Hunt participants may see limited profile information associated with your participation, including:

• Username
• Profile photo
• Hunt participation
• Completion status
• Your daily check-in status and streak in a Hunt, shared only with a friend you have linked with by sending or accepting a challenge invitation for that Hunt

Users control whether to generate or publicly share share-cards or similar social content.

Huntz will never use your proof submissions, photos, or videos in our own advertising or marketing without your separate, explicit consent.
