Bison Wilderness Guide Respects Your Privacy

Bison Wilderness Guide is a wilderness survival education app built to help you learn outdoor skills, track your progress, and prepare for real-world scenarios. This Privacy Policy explains how Bison Wilderness Guide developed by Erdatamedia ("we," "us," or "our") handles your information when you use the Bison Wilderness Guide mobile application ("App") and its companion website at survive2245.com. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

We designed the App to work primarily on your device, so most of your data never leaves your phone. Below we walk you through exactly what information is involved, why, and what choices you have.

What the App Collects Automatically

When you open the App for the first time, a small amount of information is gathered automatically to make things work properly.

Anonymous Identifier. The App generates a random, anonymous identifier that is unique to your installation. It contains no personal details — it simply helps us understand general usage patterns. This identifier is stored on your device and persists until you clear the App's data or uninstall it.

Device Language. The App reads your device's language and region setting so it can display content in the right language. This is detected locally and used for localization only.

Advertising Attribution

To understand how people discover the App, we use AppsFlyer, a third-party mobile attribution service. When AppsFlyer is active, the following information is collected:

Your anonymous identifier is also shared with AppsFlyer so that attribution data can be linked to the correct installation. AppsFlyer may collect additional device information (such as IP address, device model, and operating system version) as part of its standard operation.

You can reset your Google Advertising ID or opt out of personalized advertising at any time in your device settings under Settings > Google > Ads.

The App's Built-in Browser

The App includes a built-in browser that is used to display the Privacy Policy page and the Support page directly within the App. This browser supports cookies (including third-party cookies) and local storage, which are standard features of any web browser. Websites loaded inside the built-in browser may set their own cookies and store data locally on your device.

The built-in browser does not collect any additional data beyond what is already described in this policy. Any websites you visit through the built-in browser operate under their own privacy practices.

Support and Bug Reports

The App's Support page lets you send us a message or report an issue. When you submit a support request, you may choose to provide:

This information is sent only when you actively submit the form. We use it solely to respond to your inquiry and resolve the reported issue. The App itself does not access your camera directly — photo and video capture is handled entirely by your device's built-in camera app.

Data Stored on Your Device

The App keeps your preferences, progress, and content data locally on your phone. This includes things like:

None of this local data is sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time by using the "Delete User Data" option inside the App's settings, or by clearing the App's data in your device settings.

Why We Collect This Information

Everything we collect serves a specific purpose:

We do not use your data to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell your information to anyone.

Who We Share Data With

We share data only with the third-party services listed below, and only for the purposes described in this policy:

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or to protect our legal rights.

Network Security

Data transmitted between the App and our servers is sent over HTTPS wherever possible. Some network connections within the App may use unencrypted HTTP, which means that data sent over those connections could potentially be intercepted. We are working to ensure all connections use encryption.

How Long Data Is Kept

Your anonymous identifier and locally stored data persist on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall it. Cookies set by websites in the built-in browser follow standard browser expiration rules and are cleared when you clear the App's data. The Google Advertising ID is managed by Google Play Services and can be reset at any time in your device settings. Attribution data held by AppsFlyer is retained according to AppsFlyer's privacy policy.

You Are in Control

Here is what you can do at any time:

This App Is Not for Children

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove it.

When This Policy Changes

If we update this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated terms.
