Turf Warz is a location-based mobile game for dog owners. When your dog marks their spot on a walk, you claim a circular territory zone on a shared neighborhood map. Territory decays over time unless defended, rivals can flip your claims, and players level up, join packs, and compete on global and local leaderboards. Available in early access on iOS and Android. ## About Turf Warz - **Name**: Turf Warz - **Legal name**: Turf Warz LLC - **Founded**: 2026-03-08 - **App**: Turf Warz - **Instagram**: https://www.instagram.com/turfwarzmedia - **X**: https://x.com/turfwarzmedia - **TikTok**: https://www.tiktok.com/@turfwarzmedia - **Facebook**: https://www.facebook.com/people/Turf-Warz/61575409404762/ - **YouTube**: https://www.youtube.com/@turfwarzmedia - **Reddit**: https://www.reddit.com/user/turf_warz/ --- # Waitlist Privacy Policy Privacy policy for the Turf Warz waitlist. # Waitlist Privacy Policy Effective Date: March 24, 2026 This Privacy Policy explains how Mike Lamb ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you join the Turf Warz waitlist.
