Your Profile

We will never divulge your details to any third party and your account will always be anonymised on the app. You will not be identifiable on the app unless you divulge your username to someone else. Even if you divulge your username, your individual data will not be identifiable and there is no means of making contact or communicating with other users. All the underlying data associated with your profile will be stored in an encrypted format.

Activity Data

There are two settings for activity data; off or on.

When Activity data is set to off your data is not incorporated into the global data set. This means that none of your data will be visible to any other user. Your data will not be included, or reported in, any data visualisations that are visible on the app, or in any external data reports that are published by Explorer HQ.

When Activity data is set to on we incorporate your data into the global data set and other users will see your data in that set. Your data will also form part of any data visualisations that are visible on the app and in any data reports that are published by Explorer HQ.

Users will be able to filter data via the tribes that you are a member of. Only you will have access to a view that is filtered by your unique username. This means that no user will be able to filter the global data set to reveal the data of another user.

Data we collect

Actions - any and all actions related to Missions, Ripples and Tribes with the exception of user identifiable data as described above.

Location - Your location is stored each time you plant a Mission flag.

Ripples - Each time you confirm that you have undertaken a ripple action we increment your ripple count by one.
