Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
This policy explains what personal data the Ready2Hunt mobile game ("Ready2Hunt", "we", "us") collects, why we collect it, who we share it with and what choices you have. It applies to the Ready2Hunt apps for Android and iOS, this website and our related services.
Questions or requests about your data: support@readytohunt.it
1. Data we collect
Data you give us
- Account data: email address, nickname and password (stored only as a secure hash). If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address, and your name and profile picture if you share them.
- Optional profile data: full name, age, profile photo, a short "about" text, phone number and linked social media usernames.
- Messages: chat messages you send to other players, where chat is available.
- Support requests: what you write to us by email.
Data collected when you play
- Precise location, only while the app is open and only after you allow it. The game needs it to show targets and towers around you on the map, and to prevent cheating (for example, impossible movement).
- Approximate location (city and country), derived from your coordinates.
- Gameplay data: quests, catches, XP, level, towers, friends, rankings, votes and in-game items and coins.
- Purchase data: which in-game items or coin packs you bought and the store transaction ID. Payments are handled by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never receive your card details.
- Device data: device model, operating system version, an app-specific device ID and a push notification token.
- Usage data: which screens and features you use, and technical logs (for example, errors and IP address) that keep the service secure and working.
Camera
The augmented-reality hunt uses your camera. Camera images are processed on your device only and are not uploaded or stored by us. If you take a profile photo with the camera, only that photo is uploaded.

We use trusted service providers that process data on our behalf and only for the purposes above:

We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our players and our service.
4. International transfers
Some providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where data leaves the European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
5. How long we keep data
- Account and gameplay data: as long as your account exists.
- When you delete your account, your personal data (email, nickname, profile, phone, location history, friends, device data and sign-in data) is deleted or anonymized.
- Purchase records are kept in anonymized form where the law requires it (for example, for tax and accounting).
- Technical logs are kept for a limited time and then deleted.
6. Deleting your account
You can delete your account and personal data at any time:
- In the app: Profile → Delete account.
- On the web: game-api.readytohunt.it/delete-account.
- By email: write to support@readytohunt.it from the address linked to your account.
Deletion is permanent. Unused coins and items are lost.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, receive a copy in a portable format and withdraw consent at any time. To use these rights, email support@readytohunt.it. We answer within 30 days. If you are in the EU or EEA, you can also complain to your local data protection authority (in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
8. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are stored as secure hashes, sign-in sessions use short-lived tokens and sensitive keys are protected with a cloud key management service. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and fix issues quickly.
9. Children
Ready2Hunt is not intended for children under 13, or under 16 where local law requires parental consent at a higher age. We do not knowingly collect data from children below these ages. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the game or the law changes. We will change the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
