Last updated: 16/07/2026 — Version 2.3
1. Data Controller
The Data Controller for the personal data collected via this Site and the Amazed application is:
Amazed S.r.l.
Registered office: Via Volturno 5, 20900 Monza (MB), Italy — VAT: 14657960960 — REA: MB-2798911 — Share capital: € 10,000.00 fully paid — Website: amazed.tours — General email: privacy@amazed.tours — Certified email (PEC): amazed@pec.it
For any request concerning personal data processing, the Data Controller can be contacted at the addresses above.
2. Data Protection Officer (DPO)
The Data Controller has not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO), not being required to do so under Article 37 of the GDPR.
3. Scope of application
This Notice describes the processing of personal data carried out by the Data Controller through:
- the Site amazed.tours (browsing, online survey, waitlist subscription, contact requests);
- the Amazed Application (Account registration and management, Tour purchase and use, gameplay functionality, geolocation, internal virtual currency).
Where a specific provision applies only to the Site or only to the Application, this is expressly indicated.
4. Types of data collected
4.1 Data voluntarily provided via the online survey (Site)
Email address (optional); submission timestamp; site language used; source of arrival; gender; age range; country of origin or residence; travel habits; preferences and opinions about the Amazed product; purchase interest, price preferences and purchase modalities; any additional information voluntarily provided in free-text fields.
4.2 Data voluntarily provided via the waitlist subscription form (Site)
Email address; city of interest (optional); site language used; source of arrival.
4.3 Registration and Account data (Application)
Email address; username and/or nickname; identifiers provided by Single Sign-On providers used (e.g. Google, Apple); device identifier (device ID); preferred language.
4.4 Gameplay data and Application usage
Tours purchased and in progress; progress along the path (completed stages, solved riddles, hints used); playing times; scores; balance and movements of the internal virtual currency (Pin Points); Account preferences and settings.
4.5 Geolocation data (Application)
Device location data, processed exclusively to verify the User's proximity to Tour stages during an active gameplay session. Location processing occurs only after the User grants authorization at device level, revocable at any time from device or Application settings.
4.6 Payment data (Application)
Data necessary to manage Tour purchases. Complete payment instrument data (e.g. card number) is neither collected nor stored by the Data Controller: it is processed directly by payment service providers (e.g. Stripe) and/or stores (Apple App Store, Google Play). The Data Controller retains only data relating to completed purchases (e.g. order ID, amount, transaction status).
4.7 Data automatically collected during browsing and use
IP address (in obfuscated form, not stored in cleartext, for security purposes, abuse prevention and aggregated statistical analysis); browser/device User-Agent; referring URL (referer); standard HTTP headers; server logs; usage data collected for statistical purposes (pages/screens visited, visit duration, interaction events, device type, operating system, browser, language, country estimated from obfuscated IP).
Usage data collected for statistical purposes is processed subject to the User's consent. Without consent, no collection and no storage on the device takes place. Once consent is given, a pseudonymous identifier stored on the device (local storage) is assigned, allowing interactions to be correlated within the same session and across different sessions, in order to reconstruct use of the Service in aggregated form. This identifier is not linked to the User's Account or to other identifying data, and is not used for individual profiling or behavioral advertising. Details are provided in the Cookie Policy.
The Service does not collect data belonging to special categories under Article 9 GDPR. The User is nevertheless invited not to enter sensitive information or information exceeding the purposes of the Service in free-text fields.
5. Purposes of processing
Personal data is processed for the following purposes:
5.1 Online survey (Site)
Collection of opinions and feedback; statistical and market analysis; service improvement.
5.2 Waitlist subscription (Site)
Management of subscription and sending of communications relating to product launch and service availability in the indicated city. Subscription may take place through the Site's form or, optionally, at the end of the survey.
5.3 Registration, Account management and Service provision (App)
Account creation and management; provision of the Service; management of purchases, Tours, gameplay progress and internal virtual currency; User support.
5.4 Geolocation (App)

Prevention of fraudulent activities, abuse and automated attacks (rate limiting, anti-spam); ensuring the correct functioning of the Site and Application.
5.7 Statistical analysis of usage
Collection of data on Site and Application usage, in pseudonymized form and analyzed in aggregated form, in order to understand its use, identify malfunctions and improve the user experience. Data is not used for individual profiling or behavioral advertising.
6. Legal basis for processing
The legal basis varies according to the purpose:
- Purposes 5.1 (survey), 5.2 (waitlist) and geolocation 5.4: free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent of the data subject (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), expressed respectively by the voluntary submission of data and, for location, by authorization at device level. Consent is revocable at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before revocation.

- Purposes 5.6 (security) and 5.7 (statistical analysis): legitimate interest of the Data Controller (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in the protection of the Service, prevention of abuse and improvement of user experience, within the limits in which the data is statistical, not linked to a persistent identifier and free of individual profiling.
- Any legal obligations (e.g. tax, accounting): compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
The data subject has the right to object at any time to processing based on legitimate interest by writing to privacy@amazed.tours.
7. Processing methods and security
Data is processed with electronic and IT tools, using infrastructures developed and managed by Amazed S.r.l. and its Data Processors, in compliance with technical and organizational security measures provided for by Articles 25 and 32 of the GDPR.
In particular, the Data Controller adopts:
- encryption of data in transit (HTTPS / TLS);
- encryption of data at rest in the databases used;
- rate limiting systems to prevent abuse;
- data access limited to authorized personnel and designated Data Processors;
- Row Level Security policies on databases, which prevent unauthorized access to data even in case of compromise of public credentials.
8. Data recipients and Data Processors
Personal data will never be sold or transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.
Data may only be communicated to entities acting as Data Processors pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, on the basis of specific appointment contracts that guarantee GDPR compliance. In particular:

- Resend Inc. (United States): sending service emails and operational communications.
- PostHog Inc. (United States; EU instance with data processing in Frankfurt, Germany): collection and statistical analysis of usage data. PostHog uses local storage on the User's device (LocalStorage) with a pseudonymous identifier that allows correlating interactions during the same session and across different sessions. Traditional cookies are not used. Details are provided in the Cookie Policy.
- Keycloak (self-hosted on Amazed S.r.l. infrastructure): authentication system and user Account management. Since the system is hosted directly on the Data Controller's infrastructure, no third-party communication takes place for this purpose.

- Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC (United States) — Site only: statistical analysis of web traffic via Google Analytics 4. Data is processed according to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Note: some of the services listed are indicated in view of the full operability of the Application and are not active as of the date of this version: in particular in-app purchases through the Apple App Store and Google Play, which presuppose the native app not yet released. The list will be updated at the launch of the related functionalities.
Data may also be communicated to expressly authorized employees and collaborators of Amazed S.r.l., and to competent authorities where required by legal obligation.
The updated list of Data Processors is available on request by writing to privacy@amazed.tours.
9. Data transfers outside the EU/EEA
Some of the providers indicated in paragraph 8 (in particular Vercel, Resend, PostHog, Stripe and partly Upstash) are based in the United States of America or may process data outside the European Economic Area. For PostHog analytics data processing, storage takes place in the provider's EU instance (Frankfurt, Germany); the parent company nevertheless remains subject to US jurisdiction.
In all cases of extra-EU transfer, Amazed S.r.l. ensures that the transfer takes place in compliance with Articles 44-49 of the GDPR, through appropriate safeguards, in particular:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) approved by the European Commission with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914;
- EU-US Data Privacy Framework, where the provider has adhered to it;
- additional technical and organizational measures, including encryption and pseudonymization.
The data subject may request a copy of the safeguards adopted by writing to privacy@amazed.tours.
10. Retention period
- Survey data: for the time strictly necessary for the purposes and, in any case, no longer than 24 months from collection.
- Waitlist data: until consent revocation or product launch completion, and in any case no longer than 24 months from subscription in the absence of interactions.
- Account and gameplay data: for the entire duration of the Account; upon Account deletion, data is deleted or anonymized, except for data that must be retained for legal obligations (e.g. purchase data for tax and accounting purposes, retained for legal terms).
- Geolocation data: processed only during gameplay session and not retained as location history beyond what is necessary for the game to work.
- Security data and server logs: no longer than 30 days, except in case of need for investigation of abuse.
- Statistical analytics data (PostHog): no longer than 12 months, after which they are irreversibly deleted or anonymized.
- Data for aggregated and completely anonymized statistical analysis, no longer traceable to the data subject: may be retained for longer periods.
After these terms, data will be irreversibly deleted or anonymized.
11. Provision of data
The provision of data requested in the survey is optional; failure to provide mandatory data makes it impossible to complete and submit the survey. The email field in the survey is optional.
For waitlist subscription, the provision of the email address is necessary.
For the use of the Application, the provision of registration data is necessary to create the Account and use the Service; failure to provide it prevents its use. The provision of geolocation data is necessary for location-based gameplay features: in the absence of authorization, such features are not available.
12. Minors
The Service is intended for Users who have reached the age of 16. Users under this age may use the Service exclusively under the supervision and with the consent of a parent or guardian. Should the Data Controller become aware of having processed data of a minor in the absence of valid consent, it will proceed to delete it.
13. Data subject rights
The data subject has the right to:
- Access their personal data (Art. 15 GDPR);
- Obtain rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR);
- Obtain deletion of their data (Art. 17 GDPR, right to be forgotten);
