Privacy

This map keeps as little as it can, for as short a time as it can.

What sellers share

When you add a sale, we keep where your pin is, what you're selling, your highlights line, your hours, the payment types you picked, your house number if you gave one, and whether you're open, closed or free at the curb. Shoppers see all of that on the map. We never ask for your name, phone number or email.

Your private link

Adding a sale gives you a private link that lets you change it. We store only a scrambled version of it, so not even the organizer can read it. Your phone also remembers it, so you can tap My sale on the map.

What shoppers share

Nothing. If you let the map use your location, it stays on your phone; we never see it. The sales you mark as visited are remembered only on your phone.

Reports and limits

If you report a sale, we keep the reason and your note. To stop spam, we keep a scrambled code made from your internet address, which can't be turned back into the address.

Maps

The map pictures come from CARTO and Esri, built on OpenStreetMap. Like any website, they see your internet address when your phone loads a map picture. Directions open in Apple Maps or Google Maps, under their own privacy policies.

When it's deleted

Everything sellers and shoppers sent is deleted at 4 PM on Saturday, October 10. There are no ads, no tracking and no cookies.
