Privacy Policy
This policy explains, in plain language for California and Oregon users, what Oregon Truffle Maps does and does not do with information on your device. We aim to keep the app useful for education and habitat context without collecting a personal profile about you.
Who we are
Oregon Truffle Maps is published by Stillwild Cam (stillwildcam) through Wendy’s Google Play developer account. Contact: stillwildcam@gmail.com.
What the app is
Oregon Truffle Maps provides free educational content about Oregon truffles (species ID, habitat, ripening, harvest ethics and law, Keep & Ship guidance, and personal field notes). Optional paid map packs (Scout through Range) and a Dog & Market pack are offered as in-app purchases via Google Play Billing. Map packs show regional obscured habitat boxes drawn from a curated patch pool — they are not live GPS tracking of you or other users, and they are not dig pins or permission to enter land.
What we collect
The app is designed so that Stillwild Cam / the developer does not collect a personal account, email list, or cloud backup of your activity through this app’s own servers.
On your device, the app may store locally (for example in browser / WebView storage such as localStorage):
- Whether you accepted the in-app legal / permission notice
- Which map pack you selected and which obscured patches were assigned after unlock
- Whether map or Dog & Market content is unlocked on this device
- Optional personal patch-log notes you type yourself (text and a timestamp you create)
Those items stay on the device unless you clear app data, use an in-app reset control, or your system wipes storage. We do not operate a sync backend that uploads your patch log or unlock state to us.
What we don’t collect (and don’t do)
- No developer-operated analytics SDK is embedded in the current app code (no Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, etc. from us)
- No account sign-in or developer-managed user profile
- No continuous GPS tracking of you for map packs; maps display pre-defined obscured regional boxes, not your live location trail
- The current app code does not call the device geolocation API to follow you
- We do not sell your personal information
If a future version adds analytics, accounts, or cloud sync, we will update this policy before relying on those features.
Purchases (Google Play)
Paid map packs (Scout–Range) and the Dog & Market pack are sold as in-app purchases through Google Play Billing. Google processes payment. Google may collect and process purchase-related information under Google’s own policies. We receive purchase entitlement signals needed to unlock content; we do not receive or store your full payment card details in the app.
Local device storage
Unlock flags and your optional patch log are stored on-device so the app can remember progress without an account. Clearing storage or using demo / reset controls removes that local state. Uninstalling the app typically removes app-local data as managed by Android / your browser.
Third parties
- Google Play — distribution, updates, and billing when you buy packs on Android.
- Map tiles (Leaflet + CARTO / OpenStreetMap) — when you view maps, the app loads basemap tiles from CARTO’s CDN (data © OpenStreetMap contributors and © CARTO). Those requests go to third-party tile servers and may include standard technical data such as IP address and tile coordinates, governed by those providers’ terms — not by a developer analytics dashboard we control.
We do not currently integrate other advertising or tracking networks in the app source.
Maps are not permission
Habitat maps are educational / contextual only. They do not grant permission to trespass or harvest. You must follow landowner rules, public-land regulations, and the legal notice in the app. The publisher is not responsible for how you use the maps in the field.
Children’s privacy
Oregon Truffle Maps is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided information to us somehow (for example by emailing us), contact us and we will delete what we reasonably can.
California & Oregon (simple language)
We do not sell personal information. Because the app keeps notes and unlock state on your device and does not run a developer analytics or account backend today, there is little or no personal information held by us to “access” or “delete” beyond what you email us or what Google holds for Play purchases. You can delete on-device data by clearing app storage or using in-app reset controls. For Play purchase history or account data, use Google’s tools and policies.

Changes
We may update this policy when features change. The effective date at the top will be revised when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy for that version of the app.
