Privacy Policy

Nothing here is optional background collection — each item appears only because you did something to trigger it.

Your account

When you create an account we keep your email address and a scrambled (hashed) copy of your password — never the password itself. If you sign in with Google or Lovable instead, we receive the name, email address and profile picture that provider shares with you in the sign-in prompt, and you can see the same thing in that provider's settings. Our three founders also carry a “curator” flag so the app can show them the editing tools; nobody else can give themselves that flag.

Spots you save

Your saved (hearted) spots are stored in your browser's own storage on your device, filed under your account so two people sharing one phone don't mix lists. We cannot read your saved list from our servers — it is written and read only on your device. Clearing your browser storage or signing out removes it.

Messages you send us

The “Thinking of moving to Colorado Springs?” form sends the name, email address, moving timeline and note you type straight to our founders as an email, with your address set as the reply-to so they can answer you directly. Business owners who tap the partnership link on a spot card open their own email app — the app itself stores nothing from that.

Payments

If you buy a membership or a business buys a sponsorship, the payment is handled by Stripe. We are told what you paid for, when, and the email attached to the purchase. We never see or store card numbers, expiration dates or security codes.

Map and address services

The map pictures you see are served to your device by Stadia Maps, which therefore receives your IP address and the page being viewed — the same as any image loaded from another website. Curators can search an address while editing a spot; that search text goes to Google Places. Neither service is used to build a profile on you.

Content our founders publish

Spot names, addresses, hours, notes and the videos our founders film are public parts of the map. They belong to the business or to our founders — they are not your personal data.

If something breaks

When a page fails to load, a short technical note (which page, which browser, what failed) may be recorded so we can fix it. It is not used for marketing and is not sold.

• Sell, rent or trade your personal information.
• Run advertising networks, ad pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies.
• Read your GPS location. The app has no location permission and never asks for one.
• Collect contact lists, photos, files, or anything else from your device.
• Send you marketing email you didn't ask for.
• Know your religion, health, race, orientation, or anything else of that kind — we don't ask and don't store it.

We use a small number of services to run the app. Each one sees only what its job requires, under a business contract that forbids reselling your data.

• Hosting, database and sign-in. Runs the app, stores accounts, serves spot details and founder-uploaded videos.
• Stadia Maps. Serves the map tiles you see, including the Clean, Streets and Terrain styles.
• Google Places. Looks up an address, coordinates and hours when a founder edits a spot.
• Stripe. Processes payments for memberships and business sponsorships.
• Email delivery. Sends moving inquiries to the founders, plus password-reset and account emails to you.

• Your account stays until you ask us to delete it, or until you stop using the app and the account lapses.
• Moving inquiries sit in the founders' email for as long as the conversation is useful — tell them to delete it and they will.
• Your saved spots stay on your device until you unlike them, sign out, or clear your browser storage.
• Purchase records are kept as long as accounting and tax rules require.

Wherever you live, you can ask us for the following and we'll do it — usually within 30 days, and free of charge. If you're in California, Colorado or another state with a consumer privacy law, these are your legal rights, not just courtesies.

• Know what we hold about you — we'll send a copy of your account details and any messages you've sent us.
• Correct anything wrong, such as an old email address.
• Delete your account and everything tied to it.
• Opt out of sale — there is nothing to opt out of; we do not sell personal information and never have.
• Object or complain — tell us first, and if you're still unhappy you can raise it with your state attorney general or consumer protection office.

To make a request, email us from the address on the account so we know it's really you. If we can't verify you, we'll say what we need rather than guess.

Email us from your account's address and say “delete my account.” We then remove your sign-in record, your curator flag if you had one, and anything else tied to that account. Your saved spots vanish with the account on your device; you can also clear them yourself from your browser settings.

Two small things survive deletion: payment receipts we're legally required to keep, and videos our founders filmed, which are their own work rather than your data.

We'll update the date at the top of this page. For anything meaningful — new data, a new purpose, a new partner — we'll also say so inside the app before it takes effect, and a membership renewal will always point back to the current version.
