Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy and aim to collect as little personal data as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have when using Urban Trails™.
Urban Trails™ operates in the UK and follows UK data protection laws.

What Data We Collect

We collect only what is needed to operate Urban Trails™, process purchases and provide support. This may include:

  • Your email address for purchase confirmations, receipts, access details and customer support
  • Game progress and completion times
  • Approximate device location during gameplay where needed to verify puzzle solutions
  • Essential technical information required to keep the site secure and working correctly

If you give marketing consent, we may also use your email address in securely hashed form for advertising conversion measurement. This does not sign you up for marketing emails, and we do not create a separate advertising database from this information. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies & Tracking

Urban Trails™ uses essential cookies and similar technologies that are required for the site, checkout and gameplay to work. We also use optional marketing and measurement tools only if you choose “OK” when asked. These tools help us understand which adverts lead to visits or purchases and improve how we advertise Urban Trails.
Where you have consented, limited purchase information such as your email address may be securely hashed and shared with advertising platforms for conversion measurement. The hashed value is used only for matching and attribution. It is not used to send you marketing emails, sold by Urban Trails or stored by us as a separate advertising record. If you choose “Essential only”, optional marketing and measurement processing is not enabled. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

How Your Data Is Used

We use personal information only to:

  • Operate the Urban Trails™ experience
  • Verify gameplay and puzzle progress
  • Process payments, issue access codes
  • Send purchase confirmations
  • Provide customer support
  • Protect the service from misuse and meet legal or accounting obligations

If you have given marketing consent, we may also use limited purchase information for advertising conversion measurement and attribution. We do not use enhanced-conversion data to send marketing emails, create marketing lists or build a separate advertising database, and we do not sell personal information.

Third Parties

Payments are handled securely by Stripe, and Urban Trails™ does not store full payment-card details. We use service providers that support checkout, hosting, email delivery, analytics and customer support.
If you give marketing consent, limited data may also be shared with advertising platforms such as Google and Meta for conversion measurement and campaign optimisation. Where supported, information such as your email address is normalised and securely hashed before it is sent. This allows the platform to match a purchase to an earlier advert interaction. It is not provided for mailing-list use, sold by Urban Trails or stored by us as a separate advertising record. These providers process information under their own privacy terms and applicable data-protection agreements.

Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time, and you can withdraw marketing consent whenever you like.
