Privacy Notice

Effective Date: 15th June 2025

Explora respects your privacy. This Privacy Notice explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights in accordance with the UK GDPR and other applicable international privacy laws.

1. Data We Collect

• Approximate device location (used locally to show nearby points of interest)
• Settings stored on your device (e.g. narration preference)
• Anonymous usage data (e.g. session count, duration) via Google Analytics
• Feedback data (if submitted): category, message, optional location, and device/browser info

2. Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how users interact with the app. No personally identifiable information is collected. You will be asked for consent before analytics tracking is enabled.

3. Location Data

Location access is used only within your device to display relevant content. It is never transmitted, or used to track your movement.

4. Feedback Submissions

If you submit feedback through the app, the following information may be collected:

• Your feedback message and selected category
• Your browser and device information (automatically captured)
• Your approximate location
• The time and date of submission

This information is used solely to help us improve the functionality, content, and user experience of Explora. Feedback is stored securely, may be reviewed manually, and is not shared with third parties. We do not associate feedback with your identity, and no personally identifiable information is required or expected.

Feedback submissions may be retained for up to 12 months to allow time for review and product improvement, after which they may be anonymised or deleted.

5. AI-Generated Content

Point-of-interest descriptions are generated using artificial intelligence. While no personal profiling occurs, the generated content is based on publicly available data and is intended to enhance the experience without collecting personal information.

6. Advertising

We may display Google AdSense advertisements in future updates. If so, you will be asked for consent in accordance with GDPR and PECR guidelines, particularly for personalised ads.
