How We Process Your Data

Your privacy and security are our top priorities. Here's a clear, easy-to-follow guide on how we handle data.

Anonymous by Design

If you're submitting a case or helping identify locations, we don't collect ANY personal information about you.

What does "anonymous" mean?

  • • No account required to submit cases or location guesses
  • • No email addresses collected from submitters
  • • No names, IP addresses, or tracking cookies
  • • Your identity remains completely private

When We DO Collect Data

We only collect personal information in specific situations where it's necessary:

Moderators & Admins

What we collect: Email address (through secure authentication)

Why we need it: To operate the platform and review submissions

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (we need trusted moderators to keep the platform safe)

How long we keep it: While your account is active

Contact Form

What we collect: Name, email address, and your message

Why we need it: To respond to your inquiry

Legal basis: Consent (you voluntarily provide this information)

How long we keep it: 2 years

Moderator Applications

What we collect: Name, email address, and application details

Why we need it: To process your application

Legal basis: Consent (you voluntarily apply)

How long we keep it: 2 years

How Images Are Stored

Two Separate Storage Systems

Original Images (Private)

  • • Stored in secure, private storage
  • • Only accessible by administrators (NOT moderators)
  • • Store owners receive time-limited access keys for their specific locations
  • • Never shown to public

Blurred Images (Public)

  • • Victims are blurred before publishing
  • • Visible to community for identification
  • • Stored in public storage
  • • Protected victim identities

Important: Moderator Access Restrictions

Moderators can NEVER access original (unblurred) images. They only work with blurred versions to protect victim privacy while reviewing and approving cases. Only platform administrators and verified store owners (via secure access keys) can view original images.

Why this matters: Original images are kept secure for potential law enforcement use and verified store owners, while blurred versions allow the community to help identify locations without compromising victim privacy.

Security Measures

Row Level Security (RLS)

Database access is controlled at the row level. This means users can only see data they're authorized to view.

Cryptographic Access Keys

Store owners receive secure time-limited access keys to view original images, preventing unauthorized access.

Admin Logging

Every admin and moderator action is logged with timestamps for accountability and security audits.

Encrypted Storage

All data is stored using industry-standard encryption provided by our secure database provider.
