Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 March 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how DareBox ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at www.darebox.app or use the DareBox mobile application.
1. Who We Are
DareBox is a family activity app that delivers fun, safe, real-world challenges to help families connect offline. Our registered contact email is hello@darebox.app.
2. What We Collect
Website (this site)
When you visit www.darebox.app, we collect only aggregated, anonymised analytics data using Plausible Analytics:
- Page views — which pages are visited and how often
- Referral source — how visitors found the site (e.g., Google search, direct link)
- Device type and browser — aggregated only; no individual device fingerprinting
- Country — country-level only; no city or precise location
Plausible Analytics is privacy-first and cookie-free. It does not track individuals, set cookies, or collect any personally identifiable information (PII). See Plausible's data policy for full details.
We also store your cookie consent preference in your browser's localStorage. This is a technical necessity for our GDPR compliance mechanism and does not contain any personal information.
DareBox Mobile App
If you use the DareBox mobile app, additional data may be collected as described in the in-app privacy notices and terms of service. Please review those documents for app-specific data handling.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use website analytics data solely to:
- Understand how visitors discover and use our site
- Improve the site's content and performance
- Measure the effectiveness of our app store download CTAs
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
Legal basis for processing (GDPR): We process aggregated analytics data under our legitimate interest in understanding how visitors use our site and improving the experience, in a manner that does not adversely affect your rights (Plausible Analytics is cookie-free, collects no PII, and requires no consent). The cc_cookie consent record is processed as strictly necessary to fulfil our GDPR obligations to provide a consent mechanism.
4. Third-Party Services
Plausible Analytics
Our website uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool based in the EU. Plausible is cookie-free and does not collect personally identifiable information. All data is aggregated and anonymised. Plausible loads on all visits — it does not require cookie consent because it sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
Firebase Hosting (Google)
Our website is hosted on Firebase Hosting, a Google service. Google may process traffic metadata (IP addresses, request logs) as part of delivering the site. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
5. Cookies and Local Storage
Our website does not set tracking, advertising, or profiling cookies. We set one strictly necessary cookie (cc_cookie) to store your cookie consent preference — it records only whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies, contains no personal information, and expires after 182 days.
For full details on all cookies and storage used by this site, see our Cookie Policy.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. The DareBox website is an adult-directed marketing site intended for parents, guardians, and adult decision-makers.
If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through our website, please contact us immediately at hello@darebox.app and we will take prompt steps to delete that information.
The DareBox app is designed to be used under parental supervision. Parents are responsible for supervising their children's use of the app.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
- Right to restrict processing — request that we limit how we use your data
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a portable format
- Right to object — object to processing of your data in certain circumstances
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@darebox.app. We will respond within 30 days.
EU/UK residents: You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
8. Data Retention
Analytics data collected via Plausible is retained according to Plausible's data retention policy. The cc_cookie consent cookie expires after 182 days, or earlier if you clear cookies or withdraw consent via the "Manage Cookie Settings" footer link.
We do not retain personal information from website visitors beyond what is described in this policy.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we process. Our website is served exclusively over HTTPS with security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options) to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
For significant changes to how we process personal data, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (such as a prominent notice on the site). Continued browsing does not constitute acceptance of material changes to data processing — we will obtain explicit consent where required by law.
