Privacy Policy

Who can have an account

Accounts are only for adults 18 and older. Kids don't need an account: anyone can browse the map. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has made an account, please tell us and we'll delete it.

What we collect

• Account: your email address, a password (stored securely, we can't see it), a first name or nickname, and your confirmation that you're 18 or older.
• Pits you add: name, address, map location, surface, type, hours and any photo you upload.
• Check-ins: which pit and what time. Check-ins disappear from the app 3 hours after their start time and are deleted within a few days.
• Play sessions and RSVPs: sessions you post, and whether you're going, maybe or can't make it.
• Points and trophies you earn.
• Feedback and reports you send, including which screen you were on and your phone or browser type.
• Notifications: if you turn them on, a technical address your phone gives us so we can send them.

Your location

If you allow it, your phone's location is used in your browser to center the map near you. When you check in, we compare your location with the pit's to award points, then throw your location away. We never store where you are.

Who can see what

• Everyone: approved pits, play session times and places, and how many people are playing or going.
• Logged-in members: also see nicknames of people who checked in or RSVP'd, and trophy counts.
• GagaMap admins: can see members' email addresses and activity to keep the app safe (for example, reviewing pits and reports).
• Never shown to other members: your email address, your points total, or your location.

Play session pages are kept out of search engines like Google.

Emails and notifications

We email you to confirm your account, reset your password, and (if you're going to a play session) remind you the day before. Every reminder has a one-tap link to turn reminders off, and you can change this any time in your account. Phone notifications are off until you turn them on.

Services we use

We use a few trusted companies to run GagaMap. They only use your information to provide their service to us:

• Supabase: our database, accounts and photo storage.
• Vercel: hosts the website, and counts visits (which pages are viewed, the kind of device, and the website that sent you). This uses no cookies, doesn't identify you, and we remove any private codes from page addresses before they're counted.
• Resend: sends our emails.
• OpenStreetMap: map images and address lookups, requested directly by your browser.
• Cloudflare Turnstile: checks that sign-ups come from real people, not bots.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account any time in Account → Delete my account. This permanently removes your account, nickname, check-ins, RSVPs, play sessions, points and notification settings. Pits you added stay on the map without your name, so other families can still find them.

Changes and questions

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. Questions or requests? Send them through our feedback page.
