MyTapTour

1. Introduction

MyTapTour ("we", "our", or "the app") is operated by Next Dimension LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the MyTapTour mobile application.

By using MyTapTour, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address — used for authentication and account recovery
• Display name — shown within the app (optional)
• Leaderboard Name — a separate, optional public name visible on per-tour leaderboards to other MyTapTour users. This is distinct from your Display Name and is used only for the leaderboard feature. Leaving it blank opts you out — you will not appear on any leaderboard. You can change or clear it at any time from Settings > Account.
• Authentication provider — whether you signed in via email, Google, or Apple

If you use Sign in with Apple and choose to hide your email, we receive only a relay address provided by Apple.

Location Data

With your permission, we access your device location to:

• Show nearby tours and tag locations on the map
• Calculate distances to tour stops

Location data is processed on your device and is not stored on our servers or shared with third parties.

Tour Activity

When you scan NFC tags or interact with tours, we record:

• Which tags you scanned and when
• Rewards earned and redeemed
• Tour progress and stage completion

Payment Information

For paid tours, payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or bank account details. We retain a record of your purchase (tour, amount, date) for your purchase history.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and maintain the app's features (tours, tags, rewards, maps)
• Track your tour progress and award rewards
• Process payments for paid tours
• Send transactional emails (password resets, purchase receipts)
• Publish per-tour leaderboards: if you have set a Leaderboard Name, it appears next to your total points on that tour's public leaderboard. No other identifying information (email, Display Name, user ID) is shared alongside the Leaderboard Name.
• Improve the app and fix issues

3a. Acceptable Use — Leaderboard Names

You agree that any Leaderboard Name you choose will not be obscene, hateful, harassing, impersonating, or otherwise offensive. MyTapTour screens submitted Leaderboard Names against a list of prohibited terms and rejects obvious matches, but no automated screen is perfect. We reserve the right to clear or change a Leaderboard Name that violates this rule or is reported as abusive, and to suspend accounts for repeat violations.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Firebase (Google) — authentication and cloud infrastructure
• Stripe — payment processing for paid tours
• Tour operators — tour owners can see aggregated scan activity for their tours, but not your personal identity unless you redeem a reward at their location

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and activity data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from Settings > Account > Delete Account, which permanently removes all your data from our systems.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication via Firebase Auth, and encrypted payment processing via Stripe. However, no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure.

7. Children's Privacy

MyTapTour is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data through the app
• Update your name, email, and password in Settings
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Withdraw consent for location access via your device settings

9. Third-Party Services

The app uses third-party services that may collect information:

• Firebase Privacy Policy
• Stripe Privacy Policy
• Google Sign-In Privacy Policy

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy in the app. Your continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
