Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Foro (the Foro app and Foro Studio) is published by UMANO DESIGN STUDIO, 129 avenue de Genève, 74000 Annecy, France. For any question about your data: samy@foro.guide.

2. Data we collect

• Account (optional): email address, name and profile photo from Apple or Google sign-in, and what you add to your profile (pseudonym, city, year of birth, type of travel).
• Use of guides: guides opened, contents viewed, games played and scores, with their date and time, linked to your account or to a technical identifier of your device (a random code created by the app, without your name). Your city, type of travel and language, if you gave them, go with these records.
• Reviews: the rating, comment and name you publish on a guide.
• Location: used on your phone, while you use the app, to show your position on the map and alert you near a step. We do not store your GPS coordinates for statistics. For the guides you have opened, the app records each time you come within about 25 metres of one of the guide's points (step, service, show), with the time and how long you stayed. Your approximate position is also sent to show the guides near you, to find the nearest town and to draw a walking route.

We do not collect health or physical activity data, and we do not sell your data.

3. Why

To run the guides (map, alerts, games, progress), to show your scores and reviews, to give partner sites aggregated visit statistics (totals only; a figure about fewer than 5 people is not detailed), and to improve the app. The legal basis is the performance of the service you use and, for location and notifications, your consent, which you can withdraw in your phone settings.

4. Who receives it

Our hosting and technical providers, only to run the service: Supabase (database, in the European Union), Vercel (website, Studio and app services), Google (maps, sign-in), Apple (maps, sign-in), OpenStreetMap (name of the nearest town) and OSRM (walking routes), Resend (emails to our team) and Anthropic (analysis of our daily activity report, which may include the text of reviews). Some of these providers are based outside the European Union. Partner sites only see aggregated statistics, never your identity, except for the name you choose to publish with a review.

5. How long

Your account data: as long as your account exists. Visit records linked to your device or account (passages near points, contents viewed, games): 13 months, then deleted. Visit statistics, which only hold totals per day and per point without any identifier, are kept 3 years. When you delete your account in the app, your profile, scores and the visit history linked to your account are deleted; to also delete what is linked to your device (before you created an account, or without an account), write to us.

6. Your rights

You can access, correct or delete your data, object to its use or ask for a copy, by writing to samy@foro.guide. You can delete your account directly in the app: see Delete your account. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr).
