The app 300feet is operated by 300feet, Rurstraße 192, 52349 Düren, Germany (hereinafter “300feet,” “we,” or “us”). These Terms of Use govern the relationship between you as the user (“you”) and us as the app operator.
By creating a user account and/or using the app, you agree to these terms.
300feet accepts no liability for third-party content (e.g., incorrect offers by merchants). We strive to keep the app available but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. We make every effort to ensure smooth operation but cannot guarantee it. We are only liable for damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent conduct. We assume no liability for data loss, outages, or third-party damage where legally permissible.
You may delete your account at any time via the app or by email. If your account remains inactive for more than 12 months, we reserve the right to deactivate it.
Changes will be announced 14 days in advance. If you do not object, the new terms will be considered accepted.
Your city. Your moment. Your data – and how we handle it.
300feet is the app that shows you what’s happening around you right now. We make your city come alive – spontaneous events, exclusive deals, real encounters. To make sure you never miss out, we work with real-time data.
🧠 Example:
You’re sitting in a café, your phone vibrates: “A poetry slam starts next door in 10 minutes – today only!”
Without 300feet you’d never know. Thanks to GPS, you see it because you’re there – not because anyone is spying on you.
We collect only the data that’s truly necessary – and we tell you exactly why.
What we do:
During installation, we ask for permission to access your location and use it to show you relevant local content and offers.
🧠 Example:
You’re walking through town. A snack stand nearby suddenly offers “2 for 1 hotdogs.” If you’ve shared your location, 300feet shows you instantly.
If not, you won’t see it.
Important: We don’t store where you’ve been and we don’t track you.
What we do:
We store how you use the app – e.g., which scratch cards you open, which posts you like, or which deals you activate.
This information is important to correctly assign rewards and ensure fair challenges.
🧠 Example:
You collect Bit-Feet-Cents by liking content or scanning QR codes. We store, for instance: “Lisa opened 4 scratch cards today – earned 17 Bit-Feet-Cents.”
Without that information, we wouldn’t know what to credit you.
Description: Users can win daily prizes or join challenges through “digital scratch cards.”
🧠 Example:
Tom opens the app in the morning, scratches a card – and wins 250 Bit-Feet-Cents.
At month’s end, the user with the most Bit-Feet-Cents receives 10 000 extra.
Acceptance means:
Participation conditions apply to each competition.
Fair Use Policy – e.g., no manipulation or multiple accounts.
Description: Users collect Bit-Feet-Cents through actions such as QR-code scans, purchases, or Wows.
Acceptance means:
Understanding of the collection logic.
Acknowledgement that Bit-Feet-Cents are valid only with partner businesses.
Automated or manipulated activity (e.g., artificial Wows, fake accounts) is prohibited and may lead to account suspension.
What we do:
We record your device type, language settings, and app version. This helps us detect technical issues and improve the app.
🧠 Example:
If your iPhone 6 crashes when opening scratch cards, we know the problem affects only certain devices and can deliver targeted updates instead of guessing.
What we do:
You can post photos, text, or status updates – but only if you choose to.
🧠 Example:
You post a picture of your new favorite café with the text “Hidden Gem – must try!”
People nearby see it – but only because you chose to share it publicly. What you don’t post remains private.
Description: Users can post contributions (e.g., photos of favorite places or purchases) and receive feedback (Wow, compliments).
🧠 Example:
Jasmin posts a photo of the sunset with the hashtag #MyDüren. She gets 150 Wows → featured locally.
Acceptance means:
You grant the app a non-exclusive right to use your content.
You take responsibility for your posts (no insults, no advertising for third parties).
No hate, no violence – we stand for genuine respect.
You agree to use the app only in accordance with applicable laws and these Terms of Use. In particular, it is prohibited to:
In case of violations, we reserve the right to delete posts, reset points, or permanently exclude users. In serious cases, we may take legal action.
2.5 Recommendations (QR System)What we do:
When you invite others via QR code, we record that you are the referrer – so you receive your reward.
🧠 Example:
Your sister scans your code, installs the app, and both of you receive Bit-Feet-Cents.
We store that connection, but she can’t see your other activity.
Description: The app analyzes your behavior (e.g., which deals you click) to send you suitable offers.
🧠 Example:
Max often clicks on vegan café offers.
In the future, he receives notifications for vegan specials nearby.
→ This is based on usage profiling.
Description: Reviews of stores or places are publicly visible.
🧠 Example:
Felix rates an ice cream shop with 4 stars: “Friendly service but a bit pricey.”
Acceptance means:
Avoid false statements.
Do not misuse reviews for defamation or revenge.
Operators reserve the right to moderate or delete content.
Description: Top users (by Bit-Feet-Cents, posts, or purchases) may appear on public leaderboards.
🧠 Example:
In the app, it says: “Rank 1 this month: @NinaR with 52,000 Bit-Feet-Cents – congratulations!”
Acceptance means:
You consent to your username being published on leaderboards.
Conditions such as “Bit-Feet-Cents only through legitimate interaction” apply.
You are responsible for respecting third-party rights (e.g., image rights) when posting content.
We only use your data for features you actively use or for content we’ve promised you.
🧠 Example:
You’re at an open-air festival. 300feet shows you which food trucks are offering discounts today – because you’re there.
But we don’t analyze things like “How long did she stay at the vegan stand?”
And most importantly: We don’t sell your data to advertisers.
You always have full control over your data. We help you exercise your rights easily:
| 🛡️ Right | 📌 Everyday Example |
|---|---|
| 4.1 Access | “What data do you have about me?” – We send you an overview. |
| 4.2 Correction | “My name is saved incorrectly.” – You can change it yourself immediately. |
| 4.3 Deletion | “I want my account and all data deleted.” – One click is enough. |
| 4.4 Restriction | “No more push notifications, please.” – Just disable them in settings. |
| 4.5 Withdrawal | “I no longer want to share my location.” – Turn off GPS permission, done. |
📩 Contact:
privacy@300feet.com – We respond quickly and personally.
Your data is technically secured, transmitted in encrypted form, and stored only as long as necessary.
🧠 Example:
You’re in the park and open the app. 300feet detects your approximate location and shows you the nearest ice cream shop with a discount.
As soon as you close the app, the location data is deleted. We don’t keep movement profiles.
All connections run over HTTPS – just like online banking.
We deliberately avoid:
🧠 Example:
We don’t secretly request your location.
If you turn it off, it stays off — period. No trick questions. No grey areas.
When you allow location access, you get:
🧠 Example:
You’re walking through the old town in the evening.
The app notifies you: “Live DJ on the roof at ESS:BAR – free entry for 300feet users only!”
You’re there, you experience it — because you shared your location, not because we track you.

A 13-year-old user needs parental approval to register.
Acceptance means:
You confirm that you meet the required age or that consent exists.
Providing false information may lead to account deletion.
Description: Local businesses can post offers through a merchant account.
🧠 Example:
A café posts a flash offer:
“Happy Hour from 3–4 p.m. – 1 coffee free with every cake.”

You are responsible for legal compliance (e.g., no misleading advertising).
The app may reject or edit your offer (e.g., for inappropriate language).
