Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy covers

This policy applies to the Streko app and its official website. The service operator and contact details are listed below. Streko is not intended for children under 13; a higher minimum age applies where required by local law.

2. Account and profile information

We process your email for registration, verification and account recovery; your display name, birthday, photo or animated avatar, pairing relationship, preferences, language and time zone support your account and shared experience. If you use Sign in with Apple, we receive the account identifier and information Apple provides.

3. Content you choose to share

We process and store chat text, photos, videos, voice messages, answers, drawings, notes, shared memories and game records that you submit. Features share the relevant content with your current paired partner. These services use server-side processing and storage; they are not described as end-to-end encrypted. Your partner may keep copies of content they have already received.

4. Identifiers, purchases and service activity

We process user IDs, an installation identifier, push notification tokens, transaction and membership records, feature interactions and retention events. They enable sign-in, notifications, entitlement checks, fraud prevention and first-party usage analysis. Apple handles App Store payment details; we receive transaction information rather than your card or bank credentials. If an available reward requires delivery, we also process the recipient name, phone number and shipping address you provide.

5. Optional location and maps

With permission, the app can use precise or approximate location. Live sharing uses a short-lived location record, separate from saved places and exploration records that persist. Disabling location permission or sharing stops new location sharing; it does not automatically delete saved places. Location features can also include accuracy, movement and battery information for your paired partner.

Map use still sends requests to map providers, including when live sharing is off. Tile requests reveal the viewed map area; searches may include text and nearby coordinates, and route requests include origin and destination coordinates. Providers also receive network information such as IP address and request headers.

6. Service providers and international processing

Our current servers are in the United States, so information may be processed outside your country. We share only the information needed to provide the relevant features with the service providers below. Their independent processing activities are also subject to their privacy policies.

• Alibaba Cloud infrastructure supports hosting and storage; DirectMail receives email addresses and verification or recovery messages for delivery.
• Apple supports sign-in, App Store transactions and push delivery, including account identifiers, transaction information, device tokens and notification payloads as needed.
• OpenFreeMap serves map styles and tiles and receives map-area requests and network information.
• Photon / komoot receives location search terms, nearby-coordinate search bias, language and network information.
• Valhalla / FOSSGIS receives route origin and destination coordinates and network information.

7. Purposes, analytics and this website

We use information to provide shared features, secure accounts, process purchases, respond to support and understand service use. The app uses first-party usage and retention analysis, which can be linked to an account. We do not use advertising tracking or IDFA.

This website is static and has no submission forms, advertising or third-party analytics scripts. Hosting systems may still process ordinary connection and security information when serving a page.

8. Retention and account deletion

We retain information as needed to provide the service and meet legitimate operational and legal obligations. You can request account deletion in the app settings. Shipping obligations, transaction records, fraud-prevention records and legally required records may be retained after deletion. Backup copies expire through backup rotation.

9. Your choices and requests

You can edit available profile settings, manage device permissions and stop optional location sharing. You may contact support to request access, correction, deletion and, where applicable, portability or withdrawal of optional consent. We may need proportionate information to verify your request. Your rights and any exceptions depend on applicable law; you may also contact the relevant privacy authority. Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription.

10. Security, changes and contact

We use measures such as TLS in transit and access controls to protect information. No system can guarantee zero risk. We may update this policy as the service or requirements change; the updated date identifies the current version. Use the support contact below for privacy questions. Do not send passwords, verification codes or payment-card details.
