Privacy Policy

Effective September 28, 2026 · Contors LLC

This Privacy Policy explains how Contors LLC ("Contors," "we," "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use the Contors website and app (the "Service"). By using the Service, or by checking the box to accept it at sign-up, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: the name and email address you provide, and authentication identifiers. If you sign in with Google or with Apple, we receive a unique identifier and the email address associated with that sign-in; if you use Sign in with Apple and choose Apple’s private email relay, we receive only the relay address, not your real one.
Your map content: the markers, stands, routes, zones, notes, observations, photos, and journal entries you create, including their coordinates, and your Scout conversations — the most recent messages are saved with your account so the conversation survives closing the app, and so we can investigate problems you report. Where you add a photo you may take one with your device camera or choose one from your library; we access the camera or library only at the moment you choose to, and only to attach the image you select.
Precise location data: if you enable it, your device's GPS location, used to show your position, navigate, record the tracks you choose to record, and pull local weather and elevation. If you start a track recording in the mobile app, location continues in the background — including with the screen locked — until you stop the recording (see Section 4b). Precise geolocation is treated as sensitive information. You control this through your browser or device permissions.
Usage & device data: basic technical information needed to operate and secure the Service, such as app interactions, errors, last-saved timestamps, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser/device type, and log data.
Payment & subscription information: if you start a free trial or purchase a Paid Plan, the biller you purchase from collects and processes your payment details directly: Stripe on the web, Apple for in-app purchases on iOS, and Google Play for in-app purchases on Android. We receive and store only limited billing records — such as your subscription tier and status, trial and renewal dates, the last four digits and brand of your card, and your billing country. We never receive or store full payment-card numbers. For Apple and Google Play purchases we receive a purchase or transaction identifier and the subscription's product, status and expiry from the store so that we can unlock your plan, keep it current when it renews or lapses, and link it to your account; we use those identifiers only for that purpose.
Invitations you send: if you invite someone to Contors, or to a property you own, we process the email address you supply in order to send that one message, and we keep a record of the invitation so we can show you whether it was taken up. Invitees are not added to any marketing list and receive nothing further unless they sign up.
Email activity: we log the account emails we send you (for example, welcome, trial-ending, receipt, and password-reset messages) and their delivery status, so we can confirm delivery and avoid sending duplicates.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: provide, sync, secure, and maintain the Service; save and restore your maps; generate weather, elevation, and AI ("Scout") suggestions you request; process payments and manage subscriptions; communicate with you about the Service, including service and security notices; prevent fraud and abuse; comply with law; and improve the Service. We do not sell or rent your personal information, we do not use Your Content to train AI models, and Contors does not display third-party advertising.

3. Legal Bases (where applicable)

Where required (for example, in the EEA/UK), we process personal data on these bases: to perform our contract with you (providing the Service); your consent (for example, precise location); our legitimate interests (securing and improving the Service and preventing abuse); and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time, for example by disabling location access.

4. Location Data

Location is used to provide map and planning features (your position, navigation, local forecast, elevation) and — only when you turn it on — the live location sharing feature described below. To power map and planning features, coordinates may be sent to our map, weather, elevation, and geocoding providers. Coordinates you save as markers, routes, or zones are stored as part of your map content under your account. With your permission, we also read your device’s compass and motion sensors to show which direction you are facing on the map; this is processed on your device and is not stored or transmitted. If you use voice to log a sighting or dictate to Scout, your device’s built-in speech recognition converts your speech to text on the device; we receive only the resulting text, which is then treated as part of Your Content (for example, a journal entry). We do not record or store audio. You can disable location access at any time in your browser or device settings; some features may not work without it.

4a. Live Location Sharing

Live location sharing is off by default and exists so hunting partners on the same property can see one another on the map. When you turn it on for a property you choose, we transmit your device’s coordinates and heading, with a timestamp, to the members of that property map — and only to them. Each viewer must separately accept seeing your location before it is shown to them, and you can stop sharing at any time.

Shared positions are ephemeral: we keep one current position per person per map, overwritten as you move — we do not build a history or track of where you have been. Every share expires automatically at the end of the day (11:59 PM local time) even if you forget to turn it off, and expired positions are permanently deleted from our systems by an automated hourly job. A record that you consented to share with a particular person is retained so the feature works across sessions; you can revoke it at any time from the sharing screen.

Live location sharing is not a safety, emergency, or rescue service. Delivery of a position depends on cell coverage, device power, and app state, and can be delayed or unavailable without warning. Never rely on it to locate a person in an emergency — call emergency services.

4b. Track Recording & Background Location

Track recording is off until you start it. When you start recording a track, the app uses your device’s precise location in the background — including while the screen is locked or you are using another app — so the route you walk keeps recording with the phone in your pocket. Background location is used only while a recording is running, and it stops when you stop or discard the recording or turn location off. Your device may ask you to allow location “Always” for this; you can change that at any time in your device settings.

While a recording is running, its points are kept on your device only, so an unfinished walk can be recovered if the app closes; they are not sent to us. When you stop, you choose what happens: a saved track becomes a route on your map and is stored under your account like the rest of your map content, and a discarded track is deleted from your device. A recording that covers almost no distance is discarded automatically.

On iPhone, while a recording is running, the app shows a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and, on supported models, in the Dynamic Island, with the recording’s elapsed time, distance, speed, elevation, and climb. It is created and displayed by your device, and nothing is sent to us to show it. It is visible to anyone who can see your screen, even while the phone is locked, and it ends when you stop the recording. You can turn Live Activities off for Contors in your device settings.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies and local storage for essential purposes only — to keep you signed in, remember your settings, and cache map data so the app works offline. We also use two advertising tags: the Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms, Inc.) and the Google tag for Google Ads (Google LLC). They run on our website and in the web version of the app at app.contors.com — not in the iPhone or Android app. They measure how our advertising performs and help build ad audiences: they may set cookies and receive usage data such as pages viewed and approximate location, and they are told when someone creates an account, starts a free trial, or subscribes on the web, including the plan’s price. We do not use any other third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Separately, our website loads Rewardful, the service that runs our creator affiliate program: if you arrive through a creator’s affiliate link, it stores a referral identifier in a cookie for up to 30 days so that, if you then subscribe on the web, that creator can be credited, and the referral is linked to your purchase through our payment processor. It is not used for advertising. You can control cookies through your browser, but disabling them may affect how the Service works.

The app also keeps a few simple counts on your device — days since you installed it, how often you open it, and for how long — to decide when to ask whether you’d like to rate it. The rating prompt is Apple’s own: any rating or review you leave goes to Apple, not to us, and we record only that the prompt was shown.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only: (a) with service providers and data sources that process information on our behalf or supply data to operate the Service; (b) when you use sharing features — the "invite a hunting partner" link and live shared maps share a map only with the people you choose; (c) to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights, safety, and security; and (d) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

Our service providers and data sources fall into these categories:

Cloud hosting, database and authentication · Website and application hosting · Payment processing and subscription billing (Stripe for web purchases; Apple for in-app purchases on iOS; Google Play for in-app purchases on Android) · Transactional email delivery · Error and crash diagnostics (Sentry) · Artificial-intelligence processing — Anthropic, PBC (United States), whose Claude models power Scout and Buck Score · Weather and forecast data (the U.S. National Weather Service and Open-Meteo) · Satellite and topographic imagery, place search and geocoding (Google, Esri, the U.S. Geological Survey and the USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program) · Sign-in providers, if you choose to use one · Parcel boundary and landowner records (Regrid / LOVELAND Technologies, compiled from county assessor records) · Public federal and state map data, including U.S. government sources · Advertising measurement (Meta and Google Ads, on our website and web app only) · Road and building data around your property (OpenStreetMap, through public Overpass servers) · Web fonts (Google Fonts) · Creator affiliate referral tracking (Rewardful) · App distribution and mobile update delivery (the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, and our over-the-air update provider)

These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies, and act on our instructions. We will identify the specific provider in any category on request — email info@contors.com. We update these categories as our providers change; the version on this page is current as of the effective date above.

7. AI Processing (Scout & Buck Score)

When you ask Scout a question, your question and relevant information about your map — the property boundary, your stands, pins, routes, zones and journal notes, and the current weather and conditions there — are sent to Anthropic, PBC in the United States, whose Claude models generate the response. We ask for your permission in the app before anything is sent to Anthropic for the first time, and you can decline and keep using the rest of Contors. Some features also send an image of your mapped property — satellite or aerial imagery of the boundary you drew, not a photo of you or anyone else — so Scout can describe the ground; these images come from our mapping providers and are not retained after the response is produced. When you use Buck Score, the photo or photos you submit are likewise sent to Anthropic to produce the age and score estimate; we log technical details of each scan (such as image dimensions, processing time, and the estimate returned) to monitor accuracy and cost, but we do not retain the photos from ordinary scans. If you previously submitted a photo together with tape-verified numbers through the “Help calibrate Scout” feature, that photo and those numbers are retained as a private accuracy-evaluation record tied to your account and are deleted with your account. We do not use Your Content to train AI models, and Anthropic does not use data submitted through its commercial API to train its models. AI output may be inaccurate — see our Terms of Use.

7a. Parcel and Landowner Information

Pro and Unlimited plans can view parcel boundaries and the associated public land-ownership record — owner name, mailing address, parcel number, and acreage — sourced from Regrid from county assessor and recorder records. This information is public record. Contors does not create, verify, or correct it, and records may lag recent filings.

To limit repeat requests to our data provider, parcel records retrieved through the Service are cached on our servers. They are used only to answer requests within the Service, are never sold, and are not used for marketing. We do not provide landowner telephone numbers or email addresses.

If you are a landowner and believe a record about your property is inaccurate, the authoritative source is your county assessor; corrections made there flow through to our provider. To ask about information we hold about you, email info@contors.com.

7b. Public Land Information

The public-lands layer shows the boundaries and recorded public-access status of parks, forests, wildlife management areas, and similar areas, sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey Protected Areas Database (PAD-US). This is public government data. The access status shown (open, restricted, closed, or unknown) is recorded by that dataset and is not permission to hunt or enter; you must confirm the managing agency's current regulations and seasons. Contors does not create or verify this data, and it may be inaccurate or out of date.

8. Data Retention

We retain your account and map data while your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete your associated map data from active systems within a reasonable period, and we instruct our service providers to delete information they hold on our behalf. Some providers retain limited records for a period under their own retention schedules and legal obligations — for example completed payment and tax records, and email delivery logs. We may also retain certain information where we must do so to comply with law, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Backups are overwritten on a rolling basis. Unfinished track recordings are kept only on your device and are deleted from it when you save or discard them (Section 4b). Live shared positions follow the shorter schedule described in Section 4a: a single current position per person per map, expiring no later than end of day and permanently deleted by an automated hourly purge. To start a deletion, use Delete Your Account & Data.

9. Security

Your account and map data are stored with our cloud provider and transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Some data may also be cached locally on your device. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information.

10. Your Choices & Rights

You can view and edit your account and map data at any time in the app. You can delete your account and its associated data using "Delete my account & all data" in your account settings, or by submitting a request at contors.com/delete-account — that page is open to anyone and does not require the app or an active subscription. See Section 8 for the limited records we or our providers must keep. We acknowledge deletion requests within 7 days and complete them within 30 days, sooner where the law requires it. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email info@contors.com; we will respond as required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

11. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. In the past 12 months we may have collected the categories described in Section 1 — identifiers, customer records, internet/usage activity, precise geolocation, and the content you create — for the purposes in Section 2. We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not knowingly process the personal information of minors. You can exercise your rights via the methods in Section 10 — including our account and data deletion request form — may use an authorized agent, and we will verify requests as required by law.

12. International Users & Transfers

We operate in the United States, and your information will be processed and stored in the U.S. and other countries where we or our providers operate, which may have different data-protection laws than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., you consent to this processing.

13. Children

The Service is intended for adults (18+) and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

14. Do Not Track & Third-Party Links

We do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. The Service may link to third-party sites or services we do not control; their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

15. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above and, where appropriate, by additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
