2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Generate historical summaries and determine rarity for created places
  • Monitor usage patterns and user engagement

3. Location Tracking

BuilderFive requires location access for core functionality:

  • Foreground Tracking: Actively tracks your location while the App is in use.
  • Background Tracking: Optional and user-controlled. Enables coin rewards when you're in a zone while the App is closed or running in the background.

You can enable or disable background tracking at any time through the Settings menu.

4. User-Generated Content

  • Places you create are permanent and cannot be edited or deleted after creation.
  • Created places remain in the app unless your account is deleted.
  • Content associated with places may be visible to other users.
  • You are responsible for ensuring your content is appropriate and accurate.

5. Analytics and Tracking Technologies

We use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics to better understand user behavior and improve the App. These tools may collect information about your device, usage patterns, and interactions within the App.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share information with:

  • Service Providers: Only to perform services such as hosting, analytics, and customer support.
  • Payment Processors: For facilitating Venmo payouts.
  • Law Enforcement: If required by law or subpoena.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Created places remain permanently unless your account is deleted. You may delete your account at any time, which will remove all associated data from our servers, including your created places.

8. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Opt in or out of background location tracking
  • Delete your account at any time via Settings
