Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

When you use the site we may collect:

• Account data — email, username, password (stored encrypted), and optional profile details such as a display name or avatar
• Content you submit — events, local issue reports, descriptions, locations, photos, and votes or other interactions
• Technical data — browser type, device information, approximate location when you use map features, and basic usage data to keep the site running securely
• Cookies — essential cookies for login and preferences; see section 6 below

The site is not intended for anyone under 16.

2. How we use your data

We use your data to:

• Create and manage your account
• Display events and local issues on the platform and map
• Respond to contact and support requests
• Keep the site secure and prevent abuse
• Improve the service based on aggregated usage

We process data to provide the service you signed up for, for our legitimate interests in running a safe platform, and — where required — with your consent (for example, optional notifications).

3. What is public

Content you post — such as event listings, issue reports, descriptions, and locations — may be visible to other users. Your email address and account credentials are not shown publicly.

4. Who we share data with

We use trusted providers to operate the site, including Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), and Mapbox (maps). They process data on our behalf only as needed to provide those services.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect users and the platform. We do not sell your personal data.

5. Security and retention

Data is transmitted over HTTPS and passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing. Access to personal data is limited to what is needed to run the service.

We keep account data while your account is active and delete or anonymise it after you close your account, except where we must retain information for legal reasons. Public content you posted may remain on the site but will no longer be linked to you after deletion.

6. Cookies

Essential cookies are used for login, session management, and security. Disabling them may stop parts of the site from working.

We may use anonymised analytics to understand how the site is used. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

7. Your rights

Under Guernsey data protection law you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion in certain circumstances
• Object to or restrict some processing
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, contact us and select "Privacy Policy / Data Rights" as the inquiry type.

8. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
