Information You Provide

Your Account Information. You provide your email address and basic information (including a profile photo to create an account.

Your Profile Photo. The KO-CHA! app requires that you capture a Profile Photo on signup. This Profile Photo is stored on third party servers and used within the app in the following ways:

1. In the Target Select Menu of other players within 50m of you, or searched for you via the Alias Search Bar, or you have recently Targeted and sent a ko-cha photo.

2. As an icon in the Main Viewfinder of other players who have targeted you.

3. As an icon in the Shot Gallery of other players you send your ko-cha photos to, so they can identify who has sent them the ko-cha.

4. In the Crowscreen Animation sequence created for each ko-cha you make.

5. In the Profile page of the app.

6. In the Revoked Steal image created when you revoke another users steal.

User Alias. The KO-CHA! app requires that you create a user alias on signup. This alias is linked to your Profile Photo and provided to other users in some of the same contexts as your Profile Photo, but not all. Your profile can be searched for within the app via your user alias, but your alias cannot be used to access any of your other information.

Your KO-CHA! headshot photographs. We only retain your 48 most recent KO-CHA! headshot photographs (referred to as ko-chas) in the ordinary course of providing the Service to you - the last 24 (‘kill’) photos you have captured and the last 24 (‘hit’) photos received from other players. The purpose for retaining these photographs is to provide you with a record of recent activity in the form of the ‘Shot Gallery’ feature of the app. As your photographs exceed this maximum of 48, the older ‘excess’ photos are deleted from our servers.

Location Data. KO-CHA! collects your Location Data solely for the purpose of enabling you to detect other users in your vicinity and to organise profiles in your Target Select menu, to make the selecting of targets easier. KO-CHA! does not use your Location Data for any other purpose. You can hide your phone at any time by selecting ‘Hide Me’ in Settings within the app or by fully closing the app.

Face Detection Data. KO-CHA! uses Face Detection software for locating animations within the app to create the user experience. This data is constantly refreshed and not retained, except in the form of the animation sequences that are created by the app for the user. No ‘Face Recognition’ is applied to this data, nor is any of this data stored, shared or used for any reason other than the stated purpose.

Customer Support Information. You may provide us with information in relation to a customer-service request for our support (e.g. your email address to enable us to reply to your query).

Information displayed to other users. Only your Profile Photo and User Alias is available for other users to view.

It is a fundamental feature of KO-CHA! that your User Alias and Profile Picture are available to other players (within 50m of your phone location) whilst you are signed into the app, to enable ‘Open World Play’. These players may not form part of your friendship group or even be known to you. If at any point you do not wish this information to be available to other players you understand that you will need to either cloak your phone using the ‘Hide Me’ button in Settings or log out of the KO-CHA! app to prevent this information being shared.
