Privacy
Short version: your family's details stay in your browser, unless you email your hunt to yourself.
Your hunt stays with you
Everything you type (names, ages, hiding spots, clues) stays in your browser on your device. We never see it, unless you email your hunt to yourself (see "What we collect"). Use Start over to delete it.
If you buy a pass
Payment is handled by Stripe (shown as Link). We never see your card. Stripe shares your email and what you bought with us, only so we can send your key and help if you lose it.
What we collect
Anonymous usage counts, like how many hunts are printed and whether a visit came from a phone, tablet or computer, to improve the site. No names, no hunt details.
If you email your hunt to yourself, we use it once to send the email (and make the PDF, when the email has one), and we don't keep it. Our email service (Resend) keeps a copy of sent emails for 30 days. To stop people misusing the form, we keep a scrambled code of your email address and connection for 24 hours.
Who helps us
We use a few trusted services to run the site, take payments and send email: Cloudflare (hosting the site, and making the PDF when you email your hunt), Stripe (payments) and Resend (email). They only get what they need to do that job.
Ads and cookies
We advertise on sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Google. Right now our site uses no advertising cookies or ad trackers. If we add tools to measure our ads, we'll list them on this page first and, where the law requires it, ask before turning them on. They never see your hunt: names, spots and clues stay in your browser either way.
We email you about your purchase (your key, and help if you lose it). We only send anything else if you've asked for it, like a reminder before a birthday, and every such email has a one-click unsubscribe. We never sell your information.
Children
Hide and Clue is for parents. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the new version here and change the date below.
Questions or deletion
Write to [email protected] and we'll delete your email from our side. Payment records are kept by Stripe as the law requires.
