TRAVVL·HUNT

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. Who We Are

EduLearn Connect is the registered business behind TRAVVL HUNT and the controller of personal information collected through the TRAVVL HUNT platform ("the Platform"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect that information.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

  • Account information: Your email address and display name if you sign in with a one-time email link. We do not ask for or store a password.
  • Payment information: Paddle processes your payment details. We keep purchase records to provide access and handle refunds, but do not store your card details.
  • Hunt activity: The answers you submit, your scores, badges, and any display name you add to a leaderboard.
  • Guest profiles: If you use the Platform as a guest, a display name you optionally provide.
  • Optional profile details: Where you are visiting from, how you arrived, who you are exploring with, and your profile and email preferences.
  • Feature feedback: The choices and written suggestions you send in the Profile survey. If you are signed in, we also save your email with those answers; guest answers are not linked to an account.

Information collected automatically

  • Device and browser data: Browser type, operating system, screen size, and language preferences.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, tasks completed, hunt progress, badges earned, and time spent on the Platform.
  • Local storage: We use browser localStorage to save your hunt progress and preferences on your device.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and operate the Platform, including tracking hunt progress and issuing badges and certificates.
  • To process payments for paid hunts.
  • To improve the Platform experience based on aggregated usage patterns.
  • To communicate with you about your account, purchases, or Platform updates.
  • To support research and development of future features and hunt experiences.
  • To understand which optional features travelers would value, using survey answers and trip details.

4. Hunt Activity

We store your answers, scores, and badges so you can pick a hunt back up and keep what you've earned. If you choose to save a score to a leaderboard, the display name you enter and that score are visible to other travelers. We may use aggregated, anonymized results to improve question design.

Music links

The music links on our Hunts page open Spotify, a separate service. If you follow them, Spotify may collect information under its own privacy policy. We do not receive your listening history from Spotify.

5. Data Sharing

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

  • Payment processors: Paddle, our Merchant of Record, receives the information needed to complete your transaction securely (such as your email and payment details) and processes it under its own privacy policy.
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers: To operate the Platform.
  • Legal authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights.

6. Data Storage and Security

Account data is stored with our hosting provider. Guest hunt progress stays in your browser, but guest feature survey answers are sent to us when you submit the survey. Clearing browser data can erase local progress. We use HTTPS to protect information in transit.

7. Your Rights

You may:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
  • If you make a Blue Impact gift without an account, we keep the email you used at checkout with that gift so it can join your Blue Heart and badges if you later sign up with the same email. Deleting your account removes that link.
  • Change the email address on your account in Settings; your purchases, scores, and badges stay with the account.
  • Remove your display name and score from any leaderboard.
  • Erase game history in Settings without deleting your account. This clears hunt progress, scores, badges, leaderboard entries and game reward points, while preserving your purchases, access to bought hunts and Blue Economy Contributor badges.
  • Delete your account in Settings or contact us for help with a deletion request. Deletion removes your profile, game history and access to purchased hunts. Rejoining with the same email does not recover them. Limited payment records without your account identity are retained for refunds, accounting and legal obligations. Real Blue Impact contributions remain in the public running total, which does not list individual purchases.

8. Cookies and Local Storage

The Platform uses browser storage for hunt state, preferences, and guest progress, and may use cookies to keep you signed in. Clearing browser data can erase guest progress and sign you out; account progress remains linked to your account.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics that follow you across other websites. The only cookies we use are essential ones that keep you signed in. That is why you will not see a cookie consent banner when you arrive: there is nothing optional for us to ask permission to place.

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
