Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-05

What we collect

When you use StreetShare we collect the email address and password you supply to create an account, the files you upload, and limited metadata about each upload (file size, type, and the time the file was created). For files captured with the in-app camera, we store EXIF metadata embedded in the image itself, which can include camera model and GPS coordinates. We do not request your device location separately.

How we use it

Your account information is used to authenticate you. Uploaded files are stored so they can be retrieved by anyone who scans the QR code or visits the share link. View counts and save counts are recorded so you can see basic engagement on files you uploaded.

Retention

Files uploaded on the free tier expire 30 days after upload and are automatically deleted from our storage and database. Files uploaded while you have an active StreetShare Plus subscription do not expire and are retained until you delete them, close your account, or your subscription ends (in which case files enter a 30-day grace period before reverting to standard 30-day expiry). Deleted files cannot be recovered.

Sharing

Anyone who has a share link can view and download the associated file. We do not sell your data. We do not share your account information with third parties except as required to operate the service (Supabase for storage, authentication, and database; Vercel for web hosting; Stripe for payment processing on the paid tier).

Deleting and exporting your data

You can delete your account at any time from Settings inside the mobile app. This permanently removes your account, all of your uploaded files (regardless of expiry), and all associated metadata from our systems within a reasonable timeframe.

To request a copy of your data (GDPR/CCPA), email support@refuge.ink from the email address on your account and we will respond within 30 days.
