4. Who Sees Your Data

Other campers: Your name, position, trust level, and online/away status are visible to others in your line. You control what's visible on your profile (camp history, positions, hours).

Sponsors and partners: They receive aggregate data only — line size, average camp time, demographic breakdown (if you opt in). They never receive your GPS location, phone number, chat messages, or any personal information.

Venues: Venue partners see aggregate safety data framed positively (e.g., "100% of campers verified safe overnight"). They do not see individual user data or incident details.

Law enforcement: We will only share personal data with law enforcement when required by valid legal process (court order, subpoena). We will notify you unless prohibited by law.

You have the right to opt out of non-essential data collection. You have the right to correct inaccurate information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@campline.app.

6. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Campline is designed to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If you are a resident of the EU or California, you have additional rights regarding your personal data. Contact us for details.
