Legal information
Privacy Policy
Effective from 21 August 2026
Overview
Relicbound is designed to work without an account. The application does not require your name, email address or profile information.
Your collection, expedition history and game progress are stored locally on your device.
Location data
Relicbound uses your device location to suggest nearby walking destinations, generate pedestrian routes and measure active expeditions.
Location tracking may continue while Apple Maps is open, while Relicbound is running in the background or while your phone is locked during an active expedition.
Background location tracking stops when the expedition is completed or abandoned.
Information stored on your device
Relicbound may store expedition summaries including:
- Destination name
- Approximate area
- Route type
- Distance travelled
- Expedition duration
- Completion date
- Recovered cases and relics
Detailed GPS trails and precise starting coordinates are not retained after an expedition has ended.
Accounts and advertising
Relicbound does not require an account and does not contain personalised advertising.
Personal information and walking history are not sold to advertisers or data brokers.
The Relicbound Archive website
The companion website is a public product and lore archive. It does not receive your expedition history, collection progress or precise location data from the Relicbound application.
Apple Maps
Relicbound uses Apple Maps to search for destinations and generate walking directions. Your use of Apple Maps is also subject to Apple's own privacy policies and service terms.
Deleting your data
Relicbound will provide an in-app option to reset all game progress and locally stored expedition records.
Removing the application from your device also removes its locally stored data, subject to any device backups managed through your Apple account.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when Relicbound features or data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when an update is published.
