What we store

Without an account, nothing leaves your phone. Your stamps live in your browser's storage, and your position is only used on the page you are looking at.

With an account (sign-in by e-mail code, no password):

• your e-mail address, to sign you in;
• your trainer name, your country if you set one, and the avatar you picked;
• your stamps: the lid, the date you chose, an optional tip, and whether the "on site" check passed;
• the photos you add to a stamp. They are shrunk on your phone and their embedded location is removed before upload. We keep the photo's date only if you accept it as the find date;
• if you turn notifications on, the technical address your browser gives us to receive them. Turn them off any time from your trainer card.

We never store your GPS position. The "on site" check compares your position to the lid on your phone and only sends a yes or no.

Who sees what

Your trainer name, avatar, level, stamps, photos and tips are public: they appear on the lid pages, in the Hall of Fame and on your trainer card. Your e-mail address is never shown.

Where it lives

The site runs on Vercel and the database and photos are hosted by Supabase, both in Tokyo. Sign-in e-mails are sent through Resend. Tips may be translated and photos checked by an AI model (Anthropic) to help moderation; nothing personal is sent with them. We use the cookie-free analytics of Vercel and Fathom to count visits. The only cookie is the one that keeps you signed in.

Delete everything

Write to us from the contact page from the address of your account. We remove the account, the stamps, the photos and the notification subscriptions. Photos you remove yourself are deleted immediately.
