What we store
Your email address and handle, the plates you spot, your stories and their blurred photos, the hearts you give, the reports you send, the people you block, and your notifications. We also keep the summaries written from published stories, and their history.
Photos
When you add a photo, the original is sent for plate detection and is never stored by our application. Only the blurred version is uploaded, and location data is removed before anything is saved.
What the AI sees
Our safety checks use AI to review each new plate, each story before it's published, and each handle, so they see submissions before anyone else does. Separately, the AI reads published stories to write The Story So Far. It's shown your photo once, to find the plate, and it never sees your email address.
Analytics
We use PostHog to understand how the site is used. It receives which pages were viewed and which actions were taken, tied to an account id. It never receives story text or contact details. Deleting your account deletes that data too.
Blocking
Blocking someone hides their stories from your view. It doesn't remove their contributions from the shared plate summary.
Deleting your published stories and your account
You can delete any of your published stories. Deleting your account removes your handle and your published stories from the site. Plates you've spotted stay in the collection. This can't be undone.
