Technology & Platform Use

Last Updated: March 15, 2026

1. Location-Based Features

Stryked uses Apple Core Location and related system APIs for all location-based functionality:

• Location: Standard device location (e.g. GPS via Core Location). No custom positioning or GPS hardware.
• Visit detection: Apple’s built-in visit monitoring (CLVisit) to detect when you are at a place. We do not use custom geofence hardware, beacons, or transponder-based region monitoring.
• Proximity / “nearby”: Distance calculations in software using coordinates from Core Location (e.g. “nearby trophies,” radius and dwell logic). No hardware geofencing.
• Notifications: Apple’s local notification APIs, triggered from location updates via public APIs. No proprietary “geofence notification” system.

We describe these features in the app and in marketing as location-based features, nearby trophies, and visit detection. We do not use or claim proprietary “geofencing” or “proximity-based control” systems.

2. Maps & User Interactions

Maps and in-app interactions use standard Apple frameworks:

• Maps: Apple MapKit. Map taps and annotations use the platform’s standard map interaction APIs.
• Gestures: Standard system gestures (tap, long-press, swipe, pinch-to-zoom) via Apple’s SwiftUI and UIKit APIs. We do not implement custom gesture-recognition or proprietary interaction protocols.
