Privacy

Plain-English summary of what we collect and why.

No accounts for visitors

You can browse and submit reports without signing up. A name on a report is optional — leave it blank to stay anonymous.

What we store

  • The content you submit: report titles, descriptions, encounter type, optional name, optional date/time, and the location.
  • Private tips, including a phone number if you choose to provide one, visible only to moderators.
  • A hashed (one-way) version of your IP address, used only to rate-limit spam and prevent duplicate flags. We do not store your raw IP.

Location

“Near me” uses your device location only when you tap it, and only in your browser to sort nearby spots — it is not sent to us or stored.

Moderation & abuse prevention

Reports are reviewed before appearing publicly. We use a captcha and rate limits to reduce spam. You can flag content or contact moderators via a private tip.

Third parties

Map tiles, geocoding and place lookups are served by OpenStreetMap-based providers and CartoDB; the database and auth are hosted on Supabase. Captcha is provided by Cloudflare Turnstile.

This site is for folklore and entertainment. To remove a report you submitted, use the private edit link shown when you posted it, or send a tip.
