This Privacy Policy (this Policy) describes how Ch3rry LLC, a limited liability company (Ch3rry LLC, Company, we, us, or our), collects, uses, discloses, retains, protects, and otherwise processes information in connection with the Ranger mobile application for iOS (the Application or App) and all related websites, online interfaces, features, and functionality operated under the Ranger brand (collectively, the Services). This Policy applies to individuals who download, install, access, register for, subscribe to, or otherwise interact with the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, you must discontinue use of the Services and may request account deletion as described below.
For purposes of applicable privacy laws, Ch3rry LLC acts as the business or controller responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal information described in this Policy, except where we process information solely on behalf of another party pursuant to a written agreement. Our primary contact for privacy inquiries, data subject requests, and security reports is [email protected]. We will respond to verified requests within timeframes required by Applicable Law and in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked from or integrated with the Services, which are governed by their own privacy statements. We encourage you to review third-party policies before providing information to them.
Ranger is a wildlife-oriented recreational application. We collect information necessary to operate accounts, synchronize user activity, provide gameplay and social features, process optional subscriptions, maintain security, and comply with law. We do not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration. We do not use the Services to deliver third-party advertising based on cross-app tracking of your activity on other companies' apps and websites. Certain processing occurs on your device; other processing occurs on systems operated by or for Ch3rry LLC. Optional features may involve additional categories of information as disclosed at the time you enable them.
We may collect identifiers and credentials you provide when creating or managing an Account, such as email address, password (stored in hashed form), display name or profile name, and authentication session data. If you choose to sign in using a third-party identity provider, we may receive information permitted by your settings with that provider, such as name and email address, to create or link your Account. Account information is generally required to use registered features.
We may collect gameplay-related data associated with your Account, including collection statistics, progression metrics, achievements, streaks, rankings, scores, titles, badges, subscription status indicators, usage counters tied to paid features, and similar metadata generated through your use of the Services. This information is used to operate features you access and to display information to you and, where applicable, to other users according to Service settings.
If you choose to save or share wildlife observations, we may collect content you submit, such as photographs, species labels, dates, descriptive text, rarity or category assignments, verification indicators distinguishing capture methods, and related metadata. Submission is voluntary except where required for specific features you elect to use.
With your permission, we may collect approximate or precise geographic location from your device to provide map-based features, attribute observations to geographic areas, or display nearby activity at a generalized level. You may disable location permissions through device settings; certain features may not function without location access.
We may automatically collect technical information when you use the Services, such as device type, operating system version, application version, language settings, general performance data, timestamps, and security-related logs. We use this information to maintain, secure, and improve the Services.
If you purchase Premium or other paid offerings through our designated payment processor, we may receive transaction confirmations, subscription status, customer identifiers assigned by the processor, and limited billing metadata. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers; payment card data is handled by the payment processor in accordance with its policies and applicable payment industry standards.
If you contact us for support or respond to surveys or notices, we may collect the content of your communications, your contact details, and related correspondence records.
We collect Personal Information from: (a) you directly when you register, submit content, configure settings, purchase subscriptions, or communicate with us; (b) your device when you use the Services and grant permissions; (c) Service Providers that assist with hosting, payment processing, authentication, email delivery, security, and operations; and (d) other users only to the extent their interactions with the Services generate information displayed to you under Service rules.
We Process Personal Information for purposes including: providing and maintaining the Services; creating and administering Accounts; synchronizing data across sessions and devices; operating gameplay, social, map, and competitive features; processing subscriptions and preventing fraud; communicating with you about the Services, security, and legal matters; enforcing our Terms of Service; complying with Applicable Law; conducting internal analytics to improve reliability and user experience; and protecting the rights, property, and safety of Ch3rry LLC, users, and the public.
We may also Process information for purposes compatible with those described above or with your consent where required. We will not use Personal Information for materially different purposes without providing notice as required by Applicable Law.
Where privacy laws require a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following: performance of a contract with you; compliance with legal obligations; legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services, provided such interests are not overridden by your rights; and consent where required, which you may withdraw as described herein subject to operational and legal constraints.
We may disclose Personal Information to Service Providers that perform services on our behalf under confidentiality and data protection obligations, including hosting providers, payment processors, email delivery vendors, and security vendors. We may disclose information if we believe disclosure is required by Applicable Law, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our agreements; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Ch3rry LLC, users, or others; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, subject to customary protections. We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you.
Information you choose to make visible to other users through Service features may be viewed, collected, or used by those users in accordance with their own practices, which we do not control.
Ch3rry LLC does not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration. We do not share Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under applicable state privacy laws. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any notice required by Applicable Law before implementing a change that constitutes a sale or sharing under such laws.
We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Services, maintaining Account records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, tax, accounting, and security requirements. Retention periods may vary based on data category, your relationship with us, and operational needs. When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or isolate it in accordance with our retention schedules and Applicable Law, subject to technical limitations inherent in backup and archival systems.
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for using appropriate security features on your device.
You may review and update certain Account information through in-app settings where available. You may delete your Account through features provided in the Services or by contacting [email protected]. Account deletion initiates removal of associated Personal Information from active systems, subject to retention permitted by Applicable Law and legitimate business needs such as fraud prevention and financial recordkeeping.
You may control camera, photo library, location, notification, and other permissions through your device settings. Disabling permissions may limit functionality.
If we send promotional communications where permitted, you may opt out using unsubscribe instructions in the message or by contacting us. Transactional and service-related communications may continue notwithstanding marketing opt-out.
Residents of certain U.S. states, including California, may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of Personal Information we maintain about them; to opt out of sale or sharing where applicable; and to limit use of sensitive Personal Information where applicable. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights as prohibited by law. To submit a request, email [email protected] from the address associated with your Account or provide information we reasonably require to verify your identity. We will respond within timeframes required by Applicable Law. You may designate an authorized agent where permitted by law upon satisfaction of verification requirements.
Where Applicable Law provides a right to appeal our response to a privacy request, you may submit an appeal to [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify the original request.
The Services are not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under thirteen (13). If you believe we have collected information from a child under thirteen (13), contact [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete such information as required by Applicable Law, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act where applicable.
Ch3rry LLC is based in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where we or our Service Providers operate, which may have data protection laws different from those in your country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers consistent with Applicable Law.
Certain features may process information locally on your device to provide functionality such as image analysis, caching, or display of educational content. When you enable integrations with third-party services, including optional sign-in providers, payment processors, or external information sources, those third parties may collect information under their own policies. Ch3rry LLC does not control third-party practices and encourages you to review their privacy statements. We disclose only the categories of third-party involvement necessary for transparency and do not publish internal integration specifications in this Policy.
Some browsers transmit do-not-track signals. Because industry standards for responding to such signals are not uniform, the Services may not respond to do-not-track requests in a particular manner. We do not track users across third-party websites for targeted advertising purposes in connection with the Services as described in Article IX.
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Services, or Applicable Law. The Last updated date at the top indicates when this Policy was last revised. Material changes will be communicated through reasonable means, which may include in-app notice, updated Online Properties, or email to the address associated with your Account. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy where permitted by law.
We do not require you to provide government-issued identification numbers, financial account credentials, precise health information, or other categories commonly classified as sensitive personal information solely to use the core Services. If optional features or support processes request additional information, we will identify the request at collection and process such information only as necessary for the stated purpose and in accordance with Applicable Law. Where state law grants rights to limit use of sensitive personal information, you may submit a request to [email protected] and we will honor applicable limitations to the extent required.
The Services may use automated processing to assign gameplay attributes, rankings, eligibility for virtual rewards, or similar outcomes based on your activity. Such processing is intended to operate game features and is not used to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you outside the context of the Services. Ch3rry LLC does not use automated decision-making for employment, credit, housing, insurance, or comparable high-stakes determinations. You may contact us with questions about how automated features affect your in-app experience.
When you visit Online Properties, we or our Service Providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to enable basic functionality, remember preferences, maintain security, and understand aggregate usage patterns. You may control certain technologies through browser settings; disabling them may impair functionality. This Policy governs information collected through Online Properties in connection with the Services.
You are responsible for the accuracy of information you provide. We may correct obvious errors, complete incomplete data, or update records to reflect changes you submit or that we verify through Service Providers, consistent with this Policy and our Terms of Service. If you believe Personal Information we maintain is inaccurate, you may request correction as described in Article XII.
If Ch3rry LLC undergoes a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets, Personal Information may be among the assets transferred, subject to confidentiality obligations and notice as required by Applicable Law. Any successor entity will be bound by this Policy with respect to previously collected information unless you are notified of a materially different policy and provided any choice required by law.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that collection and use of Personal Information is necessary for core functionality you request, that public or social features may expose certain profile elements and statistics to other users as designed, and that location and media permissions enable optional features you may enable or disable. You understand that deletion requests may not immediately remove all copies from backup systems and that residual information may persist for a limited period consistent with industry practice and legal obligations.
Regarding account and identity information, you represent that information you provide is accurate and that you will update it as needed. Concerning user-submitted content, you understand that photographs and related metadata you upload are stored to provide collection and synchronization features and may be visible according to Service design. With respect to payment-related information, you acknowledge that subscription status is synchronized between our systems and payment processors to administer Premium access.
Ch3rry LLC reserves the right to monitor, review, and retain information as necessary to investigate security incidents, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. We may aggregate or de-identify data for analytics without identifying you. Nothing in this Policy limits rights we may have under our Terms of Service to enforce acceptable use rules.
California residents may obtain additional details about categories of Personal Information collected, sources, purposes, disclosures, and retention by submitting a verifiable request to [email protected]. We describe our practices in this Policy at a level intended to satisfy transparency obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, without disclosing internal system architecture, security controls, or proprietary operational details beyond what is reasonably necessary for consumer understanding.
If you are a Nevada resident, you may submit a request to verify whether we have sold covered information under Nevada law; we do not sell covered information as defined in applicable Nevada statutes. If you are a Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or other state privacy law resident, you may have additional rights analogous to those in Section 12.4; contact us to exercise them.
For questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this Policy or our privacy practices, contact [email protected]. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction where Applicable Law provides such right.
The following summary is provided for California residents pursuant to transparency obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended. It supplements and does not replace the detailed disclosures above. In the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have collected the following categories of Personal Information for the business and commercial purposes described in this Policy: identifiers such as email address and account name; customer records such as subscription status; commercial information relating to transactions with us; internet or other electronic network activity information relating to your interaction with the Services; geolocation data where you grant permission; audio and visual information in the form of photographs you submit; and inferences drawn from the foregoing to operate gameplay and personalization features within the Services. We collect these categories from you, your devices, and Service Providers as described in Articles IV and V. We disclose these categories to Service Providers for operational purposes as described in Article VIII. We do not sell Personal Information. We do not share Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Retention practices are described in Article X. Rights are described in Article XII.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, additional rights may apply under the General Data Protection Regulation or analogous laws, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise applicable rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within timeframes required by Applicable Law. International transfer mechanisms will be applied where required.
Certain features of the Services are inherently social or competitive in nature. When you participate in leaderboards, public profiles, map displays, shared collections, or similar functionality, elements of your Account information, statistics, titles, badges, display name, avatar image, and activity indicators may be visible to other users according to the design of the feature. Ch3rry LLC does not control how other users use, screenshot, copy, or redistribute information that you choose to expose through such features. Before enabling social features or submitting User Content, you should consider whether you wish to share the information at issue. You may limit certain disclosures through in-app settings where available, but core competitive features may require visibility of baseline profile information to function.
We may display aggregated statistics about community activity, such as counts of observations in geographic regions, without identifying individual users. Where individual attribution is displayed, it is limited to information designated for public display by the Service's rules and your settings. Ch3rry LLC may moderate, remove, or anonymize public displays to address abuse, legal requirements, or technical constraints without prior notice except where required by Applicable Law.
To submit a privacy-related request, contact [email protected] with sufficient detail for us to understand and process the request. We may require verification of your identity before fulfilling requests to protect your information from unauthorized disclosure or deletion. Verification may include confirmation from the email address associated with your Account, responses to security questions, or other reasonable measures consistent with Applicable Law and the nature of the request. We may deny requests that we cannot verify, that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, that seek disclosure of another person's information, or that would interfere with the rights of others or the security and integrity of the Services, subject to any appeal rights provided by law.
Upon verification, we will respond within the timeframe required by Applicable Law. Access requests may be fulfilled by providing a summary of categories of Personal Information collected, purposes of use, categories of recipients, and a copy of specific Personal Information associated with your Account where feasible. Deletion requests will result in deletion from active production systems and initiation of deletion from backups according to our retention schedule; residual copies may persist for a limited period in backup media, logs, or fraud prevention systems as permitted by law. Correction requests will be implemented where accurate information is provided and correction is appropriate. Portability requests, where applicable, may be fulfilled in a commonly used electronic format where technically feasible.
Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf where permitted by Applicable Law by providing proof of authorization and satisfying verification requirements for both the agent and the consumer. We do not charge fees for processing requests unless permitted by Applicable Law due to repetitiveness, manifest unfoundedness, or excessive nature of requests, in which case we will explain any applicable fee before processing.
You acknowledge that the security and confidentiality of your information also depend on safeguards you employ on your device, including passcodes, biometric locks, and operating system updates. Ch3rry LLC is not responsible for compromise arising from device loss, jailbreaking, malware on your device, or disclosure of credentials by you to third parties. You agree to log out or secure your device when others may access it if your session remains active.
Regarding communications with other users, any information you share through social or competitive features is at your own risk. Ch3rry LLC does not routinely monitor all user interactions but may review information when investigating reports of abuse, as required by law, or to protect the Services. We may preserve information when litigation, regulatory inquiry, or security investigation is reasonably anticipated.
Concerning de-identified and aggregate data, Ch3rry LLC may use such data indefinitely for analytics, research, and service improvement without identifying you. If we combine de-identified data with Personal Information such that the combination could identify you, we will treat the combined data as Personal Information under this Policy.
With respect to third-party authentication and payments, you understand that enabling such options may increase the categories of information received from third parties and that discontinuing use of those options may require separate action with the third party. Ch3rry LLC's obligations regarding payment data are limited to information received from payment processors as described herein and does not extend to payment systems we do not operate.
By continuing to use the Services after reading this Policy, you confirm that you understand our data practices at the level of generality described herein and that you are not entitled to internal documentation, source code, security audit reports, or system diagrams except as expressly required by binding legal process directed to Ch3rry LLC.
This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. In the event of inconsistency between this Policy and the Terms of Service regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information, this Policy governs. In the event of inconsistency regarding enforcement, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, or other contractual matters, the Terms of Service govern. Both documents constitute binding agreements between you and Ch3rry LLC to the extent applicable.
We review this Policy periodically and update it when our practices, the Services, regulatory expectations, or guidance from supervisory authorities change. Updates may expand or clarify disclosures without materially changing underlying practices. When we make material changes, we will provide notice through one or more of the following methods: posting an updated Policy on the Online Properties with a revised last updated date; displaying an in-app notice upon launch or login; sending email to the address associated with your Account; or other means permitted by Applicable Law. You are encouraged to review this Policy regularly. Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Policy where your consent is not separately required; where consent is required by law for a material change, we will obtain it before applying the change to previously collected information.
Prior versions of this Policy may be available upon request to [email protected] where retention of prior versions is maintained. Historical versions are provided for reference only and do not govern current processing except as to conduct occurring during the period they were in effect, where relevant to disputes or regulatory inquiries.
Ch3rry LLC's privacy practices are designed to meet or exceed minimum transparency and consumer rights obligations under United States federal and state laws commonly applicable to mobile applications offering account-based services, optional subscriptions, user-generated content, and location-enabled features, without publishing proprietary technical specifications beyond what is reasonably necessary for informed consumer choice. If you require this Policy in an alternative format due to accessibility needs, contact [email protected] and we will endeavor to accommodate reasonable requests consistent with operational capabilities.
This Policy is intended to provide legally adequate notice of our information practices at a high level of generality. It is not a technical specification, security certification, or engineering document. We do not describe internal architecture, infrastructure arrangements, software modules, data structures, authentication implementations, storage mechanisms, or security control details beyond what is reasonably necessary for consumer understanding, because such information is proprietary and disclosure could impair security. Nothing herein requires Ch3rry LLC to disclose information that would compromise the lawful operation of the Services except as compelled by valid legal process subject to applicable protective procedures. Regulatory and consumer inquiries will be handled through the contact methods identified in this Policy, and responses may be redacted or aggregated where necessary to protect other individuals and system integrity.
