In Simple Terms
We built Adventurous to be genuinely useful, not to harvest your data. The app works primarily on your device — your location, your preferences, your adventure history — and we don’t sell, share, or commercialize your personal information.
In the vast majority of cases, we know very little about you personally. What we do collect, we collect to make the app work better.
Who We Are
Adventurous is developed and operated by 3 Stags LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Round Lake Beach, IL.

Information We Collect
Location
Adventurous requests access to your location to generate your daily adventure recommendation. Your location is used on-device at the moment you request an adventure and is not stored on our servers. If you have enabled adventure notifications, the app may use background location access to notify you when you arrive near your adventure destination — this location data is processed locally and not transmitted to us.
Contacts
If you choose to set a profile photo using a contact’s image, Adventurous requests read access to your contacts for that purpose only. We do not read, store, or transmit your contacts list. The selected photo is stored locally on your device.
Usage Analytics
We use PostHog (posthog.com) to collect anonymous usage data that helps us understand how the app is being used and improve it over time. This includes events such as app launch, adventure generation, and in-app actions. Analytics data does not include your precise location or personally identifying information. PostHog’s privacy policy is available at posthog.com/privacy.
Preferences and App Data
Your app preferences — including day-type settings, distance preferences, notification settings, and appearance mode — are stored locally on your device and synced across your own devices via iCloud (Apple’s iCloud Key-Value Store). This data is associated with your iCloud account and governed by Apple’s iCloud terms and privacy policy.
Adventure History
Records of your past adventures (dates, locations visited, and votes) are stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. This data is not transmitted to our servers.
Apple Sign In
If you sign in to Adventurous using Sign in with Apple, Apple handles authentication and we receive only the information Apple provides (typically a unique identifier and, if you choose, your name and email). Your Apple credentials are never stored by us. Refer to Apple’s Privacy Policy for details on how Apple handles this data.
Notifications
Adventurous may send you local push notifications, such as daily adventure reminders or prompts to rate an adventure you visited. These notifications are scheduled on your device and do not require us to store your data on a server.
How We Use Information
- Location — to generate your personalized daily adventure
- Analytics — to understand usage patterns and improve the app experience
- Preferences — to remember your settings across app launches and devices
- Authentication — to identify your account if you choose to sign in
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as follows:
- PostHog — receives anonymized usage analytics as described above
- Apple — processes authentication (Sign in with Apple) and payments (App Store / StoreKit). We never receive or store your payment information.
We do not use advertising networks, analytics SDKs that serve ads, or third-party data brokers.
Subscriptions and Payments
Adventurous offers optional subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not receive or store your credit card or payment information. Subscription management is handled through your Apple ID settings.
Data Retention and Deletion
Most of your data lives on your device and in your personal iCloud account. You can delete Adventurous at any time, which will remove all locally stored data. To remove iCloud synced preferences, you can manage iCloud data in your device’s Settings app.
If you have signed in with Apple and would like your analytics data removed from PostHog, contact us at hello@3-stags.com and we will delete any data associated with your account.
Children’s Privacy
Adventurous is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@3-stags.com.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Adventurous after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
