Privacy Policy

This page is structured for App Store use, but the placeholders and unresolved production-data statement below must be finalised before publication.

Release placeholder: confirm the final legal identity, support contact, effective date and whether location data ever leaves the device before this policy is used in production.

Effective date: 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Thomas Percival handles information in connection with The Missing Walk iPhone application and this website.

Location information

The Missing Walk is a walking-based narrative investigation. The app uses device location permission to measure distance travelled so that investigation events can progress as the player walks.

The app is not designed to require visits to predetermined locations. Location is used for walking progression rather than route navigation.

Production verification required: the current project materials do not establish whether location information is transmitted off the device or retained beyond what is needed for the investigation experience. This policy must be updated to describe that behaviour accurately before release.

Investigation progress

The app includes persistence so that an investigation can be paused, resumed and restored. The exact production storage and data-handling behaviour should be confirmed against the final application before release claims are made about where that information is stored.

Audio

The Missing Walk can provide spoken investigation updates. No claim is made here that microphone access is required, because that is not established by the supplied product context.

This website

This initial website is a static site and does not include analytics, advertising trackers, account creation, forms or cookies set by application code. If any hosting provider or future service introduces additional data processing, this policy must be updated before that service is enabled.

Third-party services

No third-party analytics, advertising or account service has been included in this website build. Any services used by the production iPhone app must be verified from the final build and documented here where required.

Children

No age-specific data practice has been established in the supplied product materials. Appropriate wording should be added here only if the release configuration or intended audience requires it.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the application or website changes, or when further production data-handling details are confirmed. The effective date above should be updated when material changes are published.
