Privacy Policy
Ghost Hunter has no account, no server and no analytics. Nothing you do in the app is sent anywhere, and nothing is collected about you.
This policy explains that in full, including the few permissions the app asks for and the single external service it contacts.
Who we are
Ghost Hunter is published by MEDIASTAGE S.R.L. Questions about this policy can be sent to officemediastage@gmail.com.
What we collect
Nothing. There is no sign-up, no profile, no advertising identifier, no crash reporting and no usage tracking of any kind. We do not know that you have installed the app, opened it, or how you use it.
What stays on your phone
The app stores a small amount of data locally, on the device only:
- Your case log, including any photographs you capture with the lens.
- Your settings — sound, vibration, jump scares, narrative voice, instrument look.
- How much of the free trial you have used, and whether the lens has been unlocked.
All of it is deleted when you uninstall the app. The case log can be cleared at any time from the Case Log screen.
Permissions, and exactly what each is for
- Camera. Used to show the live view in the Ecto Lens. Frames are displayed on screen and are only saved if you press the shutter, in which case they are written to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
- Microphone. Used to measure sound level in decibels for the field scan, and during an incantation to detect whether you are speaking. Audio is measured moment to moment and discarded. No recording is saved, no speech is recognised or transcribed, and no audio leaves the device.
- Physical activity / motion. Used for the step counter and to tell whether the phone is being carried or lying flat on a surface.
- Location (optional). Used only to look up the outdoor temperature for your area. If you decline it, the app simply shows no outdoor temperature and everything else works normally.
- Photo library (optional). Used only to save evidence photos you have chosen to capture.
The one external service
If you allow location access, the app sends approximate coordinates to Open-Meteo to retrieve the current outdoor temperature for that area. This is a single weather lookup. No identifier, no device information and nothing about your use of the app is sent with it, and the result is not stored beyond the current session.
Purchases
The Ecto Lens can be unlocked with a single one-time purchase. The transaction is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never see or receive your payment details. The app only ever asks the store a single question — whether the signed-in store account owns the unlock — so that the purchase can be restored on your other devices.
Children
Ghost Hunter is designed to frighten adults and older teenagers and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone, of any age.
Your rights
Because no personal data is collected or transmitted, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or delete on your behalf. Everything the app has lives on your device and is removed with the app. If you are in the EU or UK and wish to exercise a right under the GDPR, write to the address above and we will confirm this in writing.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date at the top.
