Bluetag Software ("we," "us," or "our") operates the StagSense mobile application and web service (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
By using StagSense, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
When you create an account with an email address, we collect your name, email address, and password. A phone number may optionally be provided. You may also set profile preferences such as your primary use (hunting, hiking, nature watching, or driving), weapon type, and land type to personalize your experience.
If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive a verified email address and an account identifier from that provider, along with your name if you choose to share it. We do not receive your Google or Apple password. If you choose Apple's "Hide My Email" option, we receive a private relay address from Apple instead of your personal email address.
Location is required to generate deer movement forecasts. We collect your current location when you grant permission, as well as any locations you save within the app. On Android, the app may access your location in the background to keep forecasts up to date. You may also enter locations manually instead of using GPS.
We collect basic device details (such as device type, operating system, app version, and platform) to support account management, push notifications, and app functionality.
If you enable push notifications, we store a device token issued by Google (Android) or Apple (iOS) to deliver the notifications you configure.
If you subscribe to StagSense Premium, we receive purchase and subscription status information from Apple or Google to verify and manage your subscription. We do not receive or store your payment card details. All payment processing is handled by Apple or Google.
We collect in-app preferences such as display settings and notification configuration, as well as optional feedback you submit about forecasts or the app.
The mobile app records how it is used (for example, sign-ups, sign-ins, locations added or removed, and which screens and forecasts are viewed) and sends a report when the app crashes or hits an error. These records are linked to your StagSense account number, not your name or email address. We use them only to understand how the app is used and to fix problems. They are not used for advertising, and the app does not collect your device's advertising identifier.
We collect standard technical information such as your IP address and device identifiers to maintain security, authenticate your account, and monitor service health. This data is not used for advertising purposes.
We use the information we collect to:
StagSense does not show ads. We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.
StagSense relies on the following third-party services to operate. Each receives only the data necessary for its specific function.
Open-Meteo is an open-source weather API used to retrieve forecast data for your location. No personally identifiable information is transmitted.
Nominatim is used to convert between coordinates and place names (geocoding). We send location data to resolve city, state, and country information.
LocationIQ may be used alongside or in place of Nominatim for the same geocoding purpose. We send location data and place-name searches only. LocationIQ's handling of this data is governed by LocationIQ's Privacy Policy.
We use Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications to your device. On iOS, notifications are delivered through Apple Push Notification service under Apple's Privacy Policy. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash and error reports. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, that provider confirms your identity and shares the information described in Section 1 under its own privacy policy (Google, Apple).
Subscription purchases are verified through the Apple App Store and Google Play, which handle all payment processing under their respective privacy policies.
We use ip-api.com to approximate the location of login sessions based on IP address. No personal information beyond the IP address is transmitted.
We use Amazon Simple Email Service to send automated emails (such as email verification and password resets) and news and offer emails. It receives your email address and the content of each message. Amazon's handling of this data is governed by the AWS Privacy Notice.
We use Private Email to send and receive support email, such as messages to support@stagsense.com. It holds the messages you send us and our replies.
We retain your account information, saved locations, preferences, and subscription records for as long as your account is active. Apple and Google keep their own purchase and billing records. Technical and operational logs are retained for a limited period and automatically purged. Google keeps app analytics for up to 14 months and crash reports for 90 days. When you delete your account, your data is removed as described in Section 5.
You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by:
When you delete your account, we permanently delete your account and personal data from StagSense's systems, and we ask Google to delete the app analytics linked to your account number. Crash reports are not linked to your name or email address and are deleted automatically after 90 days. If you have an active subscription, you will also need to cancel it through the App Store or Google Play.
We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information, including encrypted password storage, HTTPS for all communications, and access controls to limit exposure of personal data. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your information.
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties except as described in this policy. We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that doing so is required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process. We may also disclose information when we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bluetag Software, our users, or the public.
StagSense is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@stagsense.com and we will promptly delete it.
StagSense is available in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our servers are located in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in the United States.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via an in-app announcement or by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
