This policy covers the Ride Quest iPhone app, made by Stoddard Software Services ("we," "us," or "our"). In short: Ride Quest doesn't collect any personal data. There's no account, no analytics, no crash-reporting service, no advertising and no tracking, and we run no servers. Where this policy differs from our general privacy policy, this one applies to Ride Quest.

1. What You Put in the App

Ride Quest stores what you enter: what you've spotted, ridden, visited or eaten at, colours, character names, star ratings, notes, ride details, people, trips and any photos you add. This is kept:

  • On your device, and
  • In your own private iCloud account, if you're signed in to iCloud, so your log syncs across your devices. This uses Apple's CloudKit. We can't see or access anything in your iCloud. Apple's privacy policy covers how iCloud stores it.

2. Friends and Groups

If you invite a friend, or make or join a group, Ride Quest shares a little with the people in it, through Apple's iCloud sharing:

  • your name and picture, as you set them in the app;
  • the rides and visits you tick them on, so their iPhone can ask whether to add them to their log;
  • your star ratings of rides, shows, shops and restaurants.

Nothing is shared with anyone else, and nothing is public. Either of you can stop at any time with Stop sharing on the friend's page, and you can Leave group (its maker can delete it). To tell you when a friend shares a ride, the app asks permission to send notifications.

3. Photos, Camera and Contacts

Ride Quest only sees the photos you choose to add, one at a time. It doesn't get access to the rest of your photo library. The camera is used only when you tap "Take a photo". Before saving a photo, the app shrinks it and removes its metadata, including where it was taken. "Choose from Contacts" uses Apple's contact picker: the app only gets the name and picture of the one contact you pick.

4. Services the App Uses to Show You Things

To show the parks, Ride Quest fetches content from other services. Like any website you visit, each of them can see your device's internet address and what was asked for, under its own privacy policy. We don't send them anything about you.

  • Wikimedia Commons: photos of rides, shows, shops and restaurants, credited to their photographers.
  • YouTube (Google): ride-through videos, played in YouTube's embedded player (from youtube-nocookie.com). Videos only play when you tap them, unless you turn on "Play videos as I browse" in Settings. YouTube's own privacy policy applies to the player. For a ride without a chosen video, the app may search YouTube by the ride's name.
  • Apple Maps: places on the map, place cards and walking directions.
  • Links: directions by Disney transport can open Google Maps or Apple Maps, and a restaurant's Menu button opens Disney World's website. Those apps and sites have their own privacy policies.

5. Ride Quest Plus

Ride Quest Plus is bought through the App Store. Apple handles the payment; we never see your payment details or Apple Account. The app only learns from Apple whether Ride Quest Plus is unlocked.

6. Home Screen and Lock Screen

The widgets and controls read your progress from the copy of your log on your device. They don't send anything anywhere.

7. Exporting Your Data

Settings lets you export your log as a CSV or JSON file. The file goes only where you choose to send it from the share sheet.

8. Deleting Your Data

  • Tap your picture at the top of Summary, then Delete all data in Settings. This removes your log from this device and from your iCloud, which also removes it from your other devices.
  • To stop sharing with a friend or a group, use Stop sharing on the friend's page, or Leave group.
  • Deleting the app removes the copy on that device. Your iCloud copy can be removed in the iPhone Settings app under your name, then iCloud, then Manage Account Storage.

9. Children

Ride Quest doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

10. Your Rights

Because we don't hold any of your Ride Quest data, there's nothing for us to access, correct or delete. You stay in control of it through the app and your iCloud account. If you email us, that correspondence is handled as described in our general privacy policy, including your rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR and US state privacy laws.

11. Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
