Privacy

Your email address and display name. The neighborhood or community you chose. Anything you write: projects, updates, offers, asks, messages, and the photos you attach.

The record of what you did together — stars, join requests, contributions, the neighbors who confirmed them, and event attendance you declared yourself.

Your home address. It is never asked for and there is no field for it. When you use “locate me”, the coordinates are used to find your neighborhood; the position saved against your account is rounded to about a kilometre first, and only you can read it.

A precise pickup spot. Pins on offers and small-help asks are rounded to roughly 110 metres before they are saved, so one can show a street but never a doorway. A pin you choose to drop on a project is stored as you placed it — it marks where the thing is happening, so place it on the park, not on your door.

Any record of who viewed what. Project views are counted for the project’s owner and deduplicated per day; the raw rows are unreadable to everyone, including the owner, by database policy. There is no “who viewed your profile” anywhere and there will not be one.

No-show data. Saying “I’m in” to an event is a signal, not a promise, and nothing anywhere records whether you turned up.

Payment details. There is no money in the product — no marketplace, no ads, no sponsors buying your attention.

Every project declares its reach: your neighborhood only, your city, or anywhere. This is enforced in the database, not just in the interface — a project set to “neighborhood” cannot be read by someone outside it even if they know its address.

Private messages are readable only by their participants. Your impact score and your project analytics are yours alone; there is no leaderboard and no comparison between neighbors.

You can download everything you’ve written as a single JSON file, at any time, without asking anyone.

You can delete your account from your profile. Deletion is immediate and cascades: your projects, posts, stars, messages and photos go with it. It cannot be undone, and there is no grace period in which we quietly keep a copy.

The database and file storage are hosted on Supabase; the site runs on Vercel; the weekly digest is sent through Resend; map tiles come from Mapbox and OpenStreetMap. Cover-photo suggestions come from Unsplash. Idea shaping, if you use it, sends the text you typed to an AI provider to structure it.

None of them are sent your data to use for their own purposes, and nothing here is sold or shared with advertisers.
