11. Localnauts Player App (localnauts.com/play)

The Localnauts Player App is a browser-based web app accessed after purchase via a personal access code. It works entirely without registration, without a user account, and without any server-side data storage.

  • Location data (GPS): The app uses the browser's Geolocation API to check whether the group is near a station. The location calculation is performed exclusively locally in the browser using the Haversine formula. Location data is neither stored on our servers nor transmitted to third parties. GPS use requires active permission from the user and can be revoked at any time in the browser. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).
  • Photos and images: Photos taken using the app's camera function are stored exclusively as a temporary object URL in the device's working memory. No upload to our servers takes place. The collage feature generates the image entirely client-side in the browser (Canvas API) and saves it directly to the user's device. After the game session ends or when the browser is closed, all photos are automatically deleted.
  • No user account, no personal data storage: The app does not collect any names, email addresses or other personal data. Game progress, team names and answers are held exclusively in the browser's volatile session memory (JavaScript variables) and are irretrievably deleted when the browser tab is closed.
  • Access code: The access code is verified client-side against a fixed value. No server request takes place. The access code itself is not personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
