General Terms of Use

HouseNumber is only available on the iOS App Store and compatible with iPhone devices running iOS 15 and above.

The application displays building numbers in augmented reality. To enable this, the necessary data is provided through API’s, offered by Apple, TomTom and HERE.

Additionally, the application embeds a third party framework¹, to implement the display of augmented reality objects based on physical locations.

HOUSE+ Terms of Use

HouseNumber offers the subscription service HOUSE+, providing two additional benefits compared to the base version of the service. Those benefits consist of:

• Infinite HouseNumbers:
  This refers to the fact that there is no daily limit concerning the number of HouseNumbers that can be requested by the user.

• Faster detection:
  After having pointed the camera at a building, the Detect button, responsible for requesting HouseNumbers, appears faster on screen.

HOUSE+ is offered as an auto-renewing monthly subscription tied to an Apple ID account. Payments are processed through the Apple App Store using the payment method linked to the user’s Apple ID. One may access the applicable “in-app” purchase rules directly from Apple’s own Terms and Conditions. HOUSE+ can be cancelled at any time by going to the respective subscription management page in the App Store app.

HouseNumber offers a 24 hour free trial of HOUSE+, which is not guaranteed to be repeatable by the user at a later time.

Privacy Policy

HouseNumber takes user privacy very seriously. In fact, the iOS application was designed in a way that it does not collect or share any user data at all, nor does it connect to any server to transfer information². The exact same statement holds for the only embedded framework¹. HouseNumber and all its features can be used without the requirement of a user account, which guarantees complete anonymity while using the service. The application relies on the following two permissions to be able to offer its core service:

• Camera access is required to generally enable the augmented reality experience and to display the physical surroundings to the user.

• Precise location access is required to be able to show HouseNumbers that are physically nearby and thus of interest to the user.

Both permissions are solely used for the indicated purposes.

² An exception could arguably be Apple’s In-App Purchase system, which naturally needs to store HOUSE+ upgrades for a given Apple ID.
