The Litter Picker Tracker (LPT) is one of my personal projects which I deliver through ootv.co.uk (ootv). This privacy policy will explain how ootv uses the personal data that you provide when you use my web apps.
In summary: ootv will only collect personal data that you provide. Your email address is used for password resets and contacting you in the case that you win a prize. If you choose to enable it, your email address is also used for two-factor authentication codes. Your postcode is used so that ootv can see the geographic areas that users have signed up from. If you choose to provide it, you can set a username which will be shared with the members of teams that you join. ootv only collects cookies that are necessary for the app to function. The minimum age to use the full app is 16. People under the age of 16 can still have an account but their account will have some limiations, and it must be set up by their parent/guardian.
There is a single privacy policy that covers all ootv tools. You are creating an account for all of the tools (even if you intend to only use one), and so this privacy policy is inclusive of:
- The Litter Picker Tracker (LPT)
- Graves Park Pitch & Putt (GPPP)
- Dog Sh*t Rockets (DSR)

What data do we collect?
ootv collects the following data:
- Personal identification information (email address, post code, date of birth, an optional username). The date of birth is required so that we can screen users for children.
- For children, the app will only collect the email address of their parent/guardian, a username (which is also set by the parent/guardian) and the child's date of birth.
- For LPT - Details of bags of litter that you have picked, including optional images
- For GPPP - Details of rounds of golf that you have played
- For DSR - Details of fuels you've created, and data from motors that you've tested
How do we collect your data?
You directly provide data to ootv. We collect data and process data when you:
- Register online, or update your account details
- Attempt to log in
- For LPT - Record a bag of litter, or update one
- For GPPP - Record a round of golf
- For DSR - Record or update a fuel or motor burn
How will we use your data?
ootv collects your data so that we can:
- Keep the app secure
- Help you to keep your account secure (by sending two-factor authentication codes)
- Contact you, in the case that want to reset your password or that ootv needs to contact you about changes to you privacy policy or the terms and conditions
- For LPT - Contact you, in the case that you win a prize
- Children cannot win cash prizes. They can only win prizes where they pick a charity to donate to, or where the prize is for an organisation such as a school.
- Analyse the anonymised geographic location of our users (via postcodes)
- Child accounts do not have postcodes associated with them, so this does not apply to children.
- For LPT - Share your username with other users, if you choose to join a team
- For the avoidance of doubt, a child's username is set by their parent/guardian and cannot be edited by the child. The child's username may be shared with other users if the child chooses to join a team.
- For GPPP - Share a temporary username with other users, if you choose to join their round
- A child will also set their temporary username when they join a round. This temporary username is only shared with other members of that specific round (so members can see who's score is whose), and the temporary username is deleted as soon as the round is completed.
- For DSR - We will not share your data
How does ootv store your data?
Your data is stored on a cloud server.
ootv will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes it was collected for, unless you delete it yourself, or ask us to do it on your behalf.
- Access logs are stored for one month before being automatically deleted.
Marketing
ootv will not use your data for marketing or provide your data to anyone else for marketing purposes.
