Go Jauntly is a limited liability company registered in England and Wales under registration number 10308088. Our principal place of business is at 54-58 Tanner St London, SE1 3PH, United Kingdom

We are registered as a data controller with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Our Data Protection Registration Number is ZA214058.

We regularly review our compliance with our Privacy Policy. This update includes additional information regarding the new EU data protection laws, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is effective from May 25th, 2018.

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our Website visitors and App Users. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we treat your personal information and data. Please note any capitalised word herein denotes a defined term, which is as defined in our Terms of Use (please peruse the definition here).

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Use. By using Go Jauntly’s App and Website Services, you are agreeing to all the terms herein and that of our Terms of Use and that they shall be legally binding between Go Jauntly and you. The provision herein as well as our Terms of Use shall govern your access to and use of our Services.

 

1 . Information We Collect, Store or Use

a. Usernames, email addresses, passwords, full name, photos, comments, social media handles (if used to log in), physical activity and approximate location. Data is stored securely on AWS, a secure server and Cognito and can only be accessed through AWS credentials.

b. Whilst viewing our walking routes we process "Location Data" on your device to measure your walk progress, we do not track every step. With your permission, we also use your anonymised location to suggest better content to you to help you get out on more walks. “Location Data'' through your device means either approximate location or, with your consent, precise location when you use the Go Jauntly app. We use this data to surface Walks nearby within our Services, show pollution and/or weather information to develop, enhance, and improve Services and the walking experience. For example, some users are not near any existing in-app walks, by using our analytics platform, Firebase, we can see the most popular places in need of specially curated walks for our users.

c. You may choose to enable, log into, or sign on to the Services through social networking services, such as Facebook. When you connect using your SNS accounts, we may collect Personal Data that you have provided to that SNS. For example, when you log in with your Facebook credentials, with your consent, we may collect Personal Data from your Facebook profile that is permitted under Facebook's Terms of Use - such as your email address, profile picture, and friend list. Whilst we do not currently, in the future we may use this data to provide, enhance, and personalize the Services (e.g., to help connect you with or suggest friends within our Services). If you do not want to provide us with this data, you need to adjust the privacy settings on your SNS account. If you accept in-app Push Notifications, we collect a token which Apple provides us and pass that to the server. Apple has the log of who’s token belongs to which device. You can change your notification settings at any time on your device.

d. You may choose to share your own walking routes to share with the community by uploading your original pictures and supporting information about the walking route, this is optional. By giving Go Jauntly access to your camera roll, you provide the app access to view your photos and videos in order for you to pick the photos that you wish to share. Please note that we only use images you explicitly select to appear in the walk or as your profile image. Once an image is selected, they are copied and compressed on your device and then uploaded to Go Jauntly’s server where they’ll be resized and cropped to fit different devices and use cases. We do not automatically take images from your camera roll. The location of the image is taken from the images geo-tag, which is an approximate location of where the image was taken as per your device settings. Please note that the images appear online as soon as you publish your walk so we recommend that you exercise caution and only share imagery or information that you are happy or have permission to share. If you decide to, you may delete your own walk within the “My Walks” section. It should be noted again that when you sign up to Go Jauntly, you create a personal profile. Your username, shared walks and saved walks may be publicly visible in the future. We recommend that you choose your username wisely. If you specify an optional location on your profile or if a social network has provided this as part of your registration, this may also be visible. Location is editable at any time.

e. You may choose to upload text, images, and location to the Nature Notes feature. Images are compressed on your device and uploaded to Go Jauntly’s database along with the associated text and image location data. We need to store this information in case you buy a new device and still want to retrieve your Nature Notes. Please note that images in our database may be shared with app users as part of our future Services so we recommend that you exercise caution and only share imagery that you are happy or have permission to share. When you delete a previously uploaded Nature Note (Image and/or Text), we immediately remove it from our database and delete any associated files.

6.  Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Separately from the cookies described in Section 5 above, which help our Website and App function and let us understand usage through analytics, we also use cookies, tracking technologies, and advertising Software Development Kits (SDKs) for advertising and marketing purposes, on both our website and within the App. These are used to promote the Go Jauntly App to new users, to measure how effective our advertising is, and to avoid showing new-user advertising to people who are already Go Jauntly users. We do not show third-party adverts inside the App itself.

a. Advertising platforms we use: We currently work with, or may in future work with, the following advertising platforms: Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google, TikTok, and Apple Search Ads. Each of these platforms has its own privacy policy governing how they handle information, which we encourage you to review.

b. How advertising measurement works: Go Jauntly uses a small number of third-party advertising SDKs within the App, together with Apple's built-in frameworks, to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. For example, to understand whether installing or opening the App resulted from an advertisement. What is collected differs by platform and by device:

On Apple devices (iOS): the App does not present the App Tracking Transparency prompt and does not access your device advertising identifier (IDFA), so this measurement does not identify you individually or track you across other apps. The Meta SDK automatically logs standard app events (such as installs and app launches) to Meta, with device advertising-identifier collection and advertiser tracking disabled. The TikTok SDK logs app events to TikTok. Install measurement for both is additionally supported by Apple's SKAdNetwork (SKAN) framework, which gives advertising platforms only aggregated, delayed information about campaign performance without identifying you.

On Android devices: we use similar SDKs. The Meta SDK automatically logs standard app events to Meta, with collection of your Google Advertising ID disabled. The TikTok SDK logs app events to TikTok and may collect your Google Advertising ID. Our analytics provider, Google Firebase, is linked to Google Ads, so certain app events and your Google Advertising ID may be shared with Google to measure advertising conversions and build advertising audiences.

We do not share your email address, phone number, or other contact details with any advertising platform from within the App. This advertising measurement is related to, but configured separately from, the in-app analytics described in Section 2(e). 

c. Your consent and choices: on our website, advertising cookies are only used where you have given your consent via our cookie banner, which offers a clear reject option, and are switched off by default until you accept. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies in your browser settings, which will cause the cookie notice to reappear.

Within the App, advertising measurement is carried out using the SDKs and frameworks described above, alongside those in Section 2(e) rather than cookies. You can control this through your device: on iOS the App does not access your advertising identifier at all, and on Android you can reset or opt out of advertising-identifier–based personalisation in your device settings, and can limit ad personalisation directly with each platform (Meta, TikTok and Google) through your account settings on those services. Changing these settings will not affect your ability to use the App's core Services.

You can reset or limit your advertising identifier at any time through your device settings (on iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and Apple Advertising; on Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads).

d. Legal basis: we rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR) for advertising cookies on our website. This consent is separate from, and additional to, any consent you give for the analytics cookies described in Section 5. For the advertising measurement SDKs within the App, which use limited, aggregated and largely non-identifying information and do not use cookies, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) in measuring and improving the effectiveness of our advertising. Where the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) apply to a cookie or similar technology, we will also comply with the consent requirements set out there.

e. International transfers: Meta, Google, TikTok, and Apple are based in, or transfer data to, the United States and other countries outside the UK. Data stored or transferred with these services is non identifiable however we still take the protection of this data seriously. Where data storage and transfer happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or reliance on an approved adequacy decision, to protect your Personal Data.
