Privacy Policy


Thank you for using Forager.world!

Forager.world is a type of social network based on locations. Our products include our iOS and Android apps and our website (our “Products”). They allow you and others to share locations of items in the natural environment for others to enjoy later. We help people around the world come together to share and learn from each other. We provide a place to meet with friends and with new people with similar interests to learn, trade and share them with others.

When you use our Products, you provide personal information to us. We wrote this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) to help you understand what personal information we collect, how we use it and disclose it, how long we retain it, and what choices you have about it. This Policy does not cover information that does not identify you. Nor does it cover the practices of Forager.world users. Users who share information on Forager.world, or view information you share on Forager.world, might save that information outside of our Products using other tools.

You may have specific privacy rights in your province, state or region.
