Privacy Policy

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you choose to provide.

Location Data

We collect your precise location (geolocation) when you:

• View reports to show you relevant nearby content
• Create reports to accurately record incident locations

Location data is essential for Spotta's core functionality and is only collected with your explicit permission.

Usage Analytics

We automatically collect usage data including:

• App interactions and feature usage
• Performance metrics and error reports
• Device information (type, operating system, browser)
• Session duration and frequency of use

Core Service Delivery

We use your location data to provide Spotta's core features: showing you relevant reports in your area and allowing you to create accurate incident reports.

Communication

Your email address is used to send you important updates about Spotta, security notifications, and service announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Service Improvement

Usage analytics help us understand how you use Spotta so we can improve the app, fix bugs, and develop new features that matter to you.

Data Sharing

We never sell your personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with partners to improve our services, but this data cannot be used to identify you.

Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services. Location data is typically stored for 30 days unless you choose to keep specific reports longer. Account data is retained until you delete your account.

Security Measures

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data both in transit and at rest. Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to provide our services.

Location Permissions

You can disable location access at any time through your device settings. Note that this will limit Spotta's ability to show you relevant nearby reports and create accurate incident reports.

Data Access and Deletion

You have the right to:

• Access all data we have about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Export your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@spotta.app. For immediate data deletion requests under GDPR, you can also email remove-me@spotta.app. We'll respond within 30 days.

Communication Preferences

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the link in our emails or updating your preferences in your account settings.

Analytics and Monitoring

We use PostHog for usage analytics and Sentry for error monitoring. This helps us understand how you use Spotta and improve the app. These services may collect device information, usage patterns, and error reports, but this data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Infrastructure

We use Supabase for our database and authentication services. Your data is stored securely on Supabase's infrastructure, which is SOC 2 compliant and follows industry security standards.
