Privacy

What we collect

• Account basics — when you sign in with Google or Apple we store your name, email address, and profile photo. That's the whole identity: no phone number, no address, no government ID.
• Your contributions — check-ins (conditions, crowd, who-for, an optional note and photo), spot ratings, saved spots, and alert subscriptions. A check-in records the spot and time you chose to post — we do not track your location in the background, ever.
• Photos — uploaded photos are stored with our storage provider (Cloudflare R2) and shown publicly on the spot's page, attributed to your name.
• Technical basics — a session cookie to keep you signed in. To stop spam, some actions (like sending feedback) are rate-limited using a short-lived, non-identifying hash of your connection's IP — deleted automatically within the hour, never linked to your account. No advertising trackers, no analytics that identify you, no fingerprinting.

What we never do

• We don't track your location data. The app can open your nearest spot using your device's location, but that stays on your phone — never stored, never logged, never used to follow where you've been.
• We never sell your data. To anyone. In any form.
• We never show your email publicly or share it with schools.
• We never post anywhere on your behalf.

Who processes data for us

Firebase (sign-in), MongoDB Atlas (database), Vercel (hosting), Cloudflare R2 (photos), Open-Meteo (forecast data — receives no personal data at all).

Your controls

• Spot alerts are strictly opt-in, one spot at a time. They arrive only as push notifications in the app — there is no email alert channel. Turn any of them off from the bell on a spot, or from My alerts on your profile.
• Delete your account: open your profile and tap Delete account. This erases your account and everything attached to it — your check-ins and their notes, your photos (removed from our storage), your ratings, your follows, and your alert subscriptions and notification tokens. It happens immediately and cannot be undone. Prefer that we did it for you? Email us and we will.
• Delete a single check-in or photo: there is no self-serve control for this yet — email us and we'll remove it for you.
