Firefinder Ridge is a fire-lookout board game that plays entirely on your device. This page explains, plainly, what the app does and does not collect.
Firefinder Ridge does not collect any personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no network calls of any kind. Everything you see — the forests, fires, radio traffic and crews — is generated on your device. Your progress stays on your device.
None of this information ever leaves your device. Firefinder Ridge has no servers of its own and does not send data to us or to anyone else.
The camera and photo library are used only if you choose to set a photo for your lookout ID card, a purely cosmetic feature on the Season screen. The photo you pick is processed into a flat, stylized badge on your device and is never uploaded anywhere. You can use the app fully without ever granting camera or photo access.
Firefinder Ridge can remind you, once a day, that a new bust is ready. This reminder is a local notification scheduled by your device — it does not require, and does not use, any push notification service or external server.
Firefinder Ridge does not use any third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting services, and does not share any information with third parties, because it does not collect any information to share.
Because Firefinder Ridge collects no personal data from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal data from children, and none is required to play.
You can turn off the daily reminder at any time in Settings, and you can clear your saved progress from the app's Settings screen. Removing the app removes all of its on-device data.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this same address with an updated date at the top of the page.
