Privacy

CroVenture is a gamified tourist map of Croatia. It is built offline-first and designed to collect as little data as possible.

What we process

• Precise location (GPS). Used on your device to reveal the map and detect when you are near a place. If the cloud backend is active, a discovery event (place id and coordinate) is sent for anti-cheat validation. Never used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
• Exploration progress. Discovered places, revealed map cells, badges and quest progress. Stored locally, and when the cloud backend is active, synced under an anonymous, randomly generated ID (no name, email, or account).
• Language preference. Stored locally only.
• Newsletter email (website, optional). If you subscribe, we store your email address and a confirmation status to send you the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time; on request we delete your address.

The app does not collect your name, email, contacts, photos or advertising identifiers, and does not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Affiliate links and cookies

We do not run any other analytics or advertising trackers.
