In all instances where we may collect children’s data (anyone aged under 18 years) we will seek to obtain the consent of the holder of parental authority. When consenting on behalf of a child, this can only be done by an adult aged 18 years+ with parental responsibility. This consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Players using the app must be aged over 13 years of age and should refer to the Beat the Street App Terms of Service and End User Licence, which can be found in the account settings section when you open the app.
Players must swipe at least two Beat Boxes within an hour to gain 20 points. However, they must ensure that they do not visit these two Boxes in under a minute as this will not award points. For further information on this rule please see How to Play.
You can only collect Gems if you are playing via the app or if playing with an app player as part of their family group. Gems are an app-only feature of the game and appear on an app-only leaderboard. Gems do not award points.
1. To collect Gems as a card player, you need to connect your account to the app player's account i.e. a family account and swipe their card on the app player's phone when the app player collects a gem.
2. You must be travelling with that player at the time of collection.
3. Find out more about Gems in the FAQs section of the website.
Prizes can only be sent to a valid UK address unless otherwise stated.
To be eligible for the main prizes, a team needs to have 12 team members unless otherwise stated, before the game enters its final week. Any teams that are smaller than the specified minimum number of players, will not be eligible for the main prizes and will feature on a separate small teams leaderboard.
Players will not be permitted to register their card or change teams in the final week of the game. If a player needs to change team in the last week of the game, they can email team@beatthestreet.me and their request will be considered.
Lucky Box Winners will be chosen at random from all valid entries from registered players. Winners will be contacted via email.
If a player cheats (i.e. who swipe multiple cards, drive between Beat Boxes or registers fake accounts), Intelligent Health will take action that we deem appropriate to uphold the integrity of the game, which in some cases will include disqualification or wiping cards and points.
The Beat the Street competition is open to employees or agencies of Intelligent Health and partners, their group company’s family members and anyone else connected to the prize draw. Such persons will be eligible to play the game and to win prizes however prize winners (including employees/spouse/children) will be required to donate prizes to a suitable nominated cause/person(s).
In the unlikely event of the prize (or one or more constituent elements) not being available, Intelligent Health and partners reserve the right to provide a similar prize of equal or greater value.
Prizes are non-exchangeable, non-transferable, and (if applicable) not redeemable for cash.
Occasionally Beat Boxes may be broken or vandalised. In the event of a box being down, we make a reasonable effort to fix or replace the Box as quickly as possible.
Occasionally, where a Beat Box may be vandalised on multiple occasions or stocks of Beat Boxes are low due to damage on other Boxes, we may have to take the decision not to replace a Beat Box.
In the event that a player misses out on points due to a Beat Box being broken, we unfortunately cannot add points retrospectively to a player's account.

1. Sometimes the accessibility or safety of an area can depend on the time of day or other factors such as a player's age or if they are playing unaccompanied.
2. If a player spots a Beat Box in a location that they think is unsuitable for safety or other reasons, please report this to our helpdesk team via the Help? widget who will investigate the issue further. When selecting Beat Box locations, we always try to consider the potential impact on safety and carry out a risk assessment for each location. In the instance that a player reports a location as being unsuitable, we will carry out another review of that location accordingly.
3. Gems have a 50 metre diameter so players should not have to travel anywhere that is inappropriate or unsafe to collect a Gem.

In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, Intelligent Health has put a number of safety measures into place to comply with government guidelines. In the event of increased government restrictions that disrupt gameplay, Intelligent Health will work with partners to ensure any new guidelines are met.
This is our policy on adding points to an individual or team account. Unfortunately we cannot award points deemed to be lost from non functioning Beat Boxes. The only time players can earn points individually or for their team is for certain events or promotions run by Beat the Street.
