Journeys, friends, and groups.

Journey drafts and Only me content are private. Friends content is visible to accepted friends; Public content is visible to visitors. A stop also follows its journey’s privacy. Private group posts and photos require approved membership. Group names, descriptions, and covers, and member profile details, are public. Journey photos use protected storage with short-lived links; someone who has already viewed or saved a photo may retain a copy.

Check-ins are optional, manually shared, timestamped, and rounded to an approximate area before storage. We do not track your live location. You can remove a check-in, remove friends, block members, report content, and delete your own journeys and posts. Blocking restricts signed-in interactions; public information remains visible to signed-out visitors. Photo location metadata is removed during journey uploads.

This notice explains how Mobile Residency handles information when you use this website. Questions or requests: mobileresidency@gmail.com.

What we collect and why.

We use your email and account authentication information to register you, sign you in, and send confirmation or password-reset messages. We store the profile details, listings, photos, saved rigs, messages, and reports you submit to provide those features and respond to misuse.

Messages and activity alerts.

We store your notification preferences, unread status, muted conversations and groups, and browser push subscriptions to deliver updates you choose. Push providers operated by your browser or device receive the subscription and encrypted notification payload. Lock-screen alerts use a generic activity message rather than private message text. You can disable push for a device or pause it across your devices in Notification settings. Sound, vibration, and app icon badges depend on browser and operating-system settings. Quiet hours pause external delivery. Optional read receipts are shared only when both participants enable them. Phone numbers or email addresses you choose to add to a chat are disclosed only when you send that message; recipients may keep a copy. Notifications are not guaranteed to arrive immediately.

Nearby discovery.

City and ZIP searches use GeoNames data. If you choose Use my location, your browser requests permission; coordinates are rounded to an approximate area before the search. Search areas can appear in the page URL and service logs. You can use a city or ZIP instead. OpenStreetMap receives connection information when maps load; Google Maps opens only when you choose a map or directions link. Community areas are approximate, and private member locations are not displayed.

Place listings, reviews, public discussions, and uploaded photos are public. Photos use public URLs, including photos in pending submissions. Members-only groups support text posts; that discussion text is limited to approved members and authorized operators. Saved places, membership requests, and reports are private to the relevant members and operators. Do not upload sensitive images.

Marketplace and Member Shops.

Published listings, seller display names, shop logos, cover photos, descriptions, general pickup information, seller-type labels, and city/ZIP areas are public. We calculate approximate straight-line distance from ZIP-area centers; we do not require your exact address or continuously track you. We store shop and listing drafts, favorites, private conversations, reports, and the version and time of Marketplace policy acceptance. Reports and moderation records support review, appeals, and abuse prevention; access is limited to the reporter where applicable and authorized operators. Contact details or meetup locations you choose to send in a conversation are shared with its participants. Marketplace and shop uploads are resized and re-encoded to remove embedded photo metadata, but visible addresses, faces, license plates, and other details in the image remain. All uploaded shop and listing images use public URLs, including drafts, archived listings, and removed photo references. Contact us to request removal of an uploaded image; cached or downloaded copies may remain with others. No buyer shipping address or member-shop payment card is collected by these features.

Public and private information.

Your display name, profile photo, location, biography, and published or sold listings may be publicly visible. Uploaded listing images and avatars use public image URLs, even when associated with a draft. Avoid uploading sensitive documents or precise personal locations. Saved rigs and conversations are restricted to the relevant members; reports are available to the reporter and authorized operators. Authorized operators and service providers may access information as needed to maintain the service, resolve issues, or investigate misuse. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted.

Optional launch notifications.

If you opt in, we store your email, selected launch, and shopping or selling interest. We use that information for the launch you requested, not partner promotions. Notification preferences in the footer let you withdraw requests saved in the same browser. If those controls are unavailable, email us. Any future launch email will provide a way to unsubscribe.

Payments.

When support payments are available, Stripe handles payment details within its checkout. We store the amount, payment reference, status, and refund information. Stripe may collect your email and information needed to process and protect the transaction. We do not receive your full card number. Support does not enroll you in marketing.

Providers and browser storage.

We use Supabase for accounts, data, and images; Resend for account email delivery; Vercel for hosting; Cloudflare for domain services; and Stripe for payments when enabled. Google Fonts and Unsplash may receive ordinary connection information when their fonts or images load. These providers process information under their own policies and may process it in the United States or other countries.

We use browser storage to keep you signed in, remember preview-bag selections and notification-withdrawal controls, and retrieve recent payment status. Infrastructure providers may record IP addresses, browser information, timestamps, and request logs to deliver the site and prevent abuse. Our public forms use temporary hashed request identifiers for rate limits. We have not added advertising or behavioral analytics trackers to this launch.

Retention and your choices.

We keep information while needed to provide the service, administer requests and transactions, investigate misuse, and meet applicable obligations. You can edit your profile, archive listings, pause your shop, remove saved items, and withdraw launch requests. Contact us for account deletion or other data requests; some records may need to be retained for security, transaction, or legal reasons. Backups may retain data until their normal rotation. Self-service account deletion is not yet available.

Children and changes.

Account features are intended for adults 18 and older. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us. We will update this notice when our practices change and identify the updated date here.

Listing conversations and demo practice.

Listing comments, replies, and like totals are public. A comment displays its author profile. Reports and moderator decisions are restricted to authorized operators. Deleted comment text is removed from the conversation; a placeholder and replies may remain. Do not include private pickup addresses or payment details in public comments. Demo profiles and their sample activity are fictional. Practice likes and comments in the demo are kept only in page memory and clear when the page reloads; they are not published to the community.

Short videos and their audience.

We store video descriptions, ownership, audience settings, processing status, comments and likes. Cloudflare Stream processes, stores and delivers uploaded videos; it receives the video, a member identifier, and connection information needed for upload and playback. Profile reels can be Only me, Friends, or Public. Listing videos follow the listing and shop’s availability. New uploads stay private drafts until you publish them. Protected playback and thumbnail links expire within five minutes; already-issued links and copies saved by viewers may remain accessible during that period or afterward for saved copies. Blocking restricts signed-in access; public reels can still be seen while signed out. Videos may disclose locations through their picture or sound. Removing a reel hides it immediately and queues its video for deletion; provider removal may be delayed while the service is unavailable.

Handles and promotion choices.

Your chosen handle and optional social links are public. Your account email is private; handle sign-in does not provide a public email lookup. For optional promotion we record the reel, account, agreement version and timestamp, selected platforms and destination, credit snapshot, review decisions, publication links and withdrawal requests. Selected public reels and credit are shared with the social platforms you authorize, where their own privacy policies apply. Pending requests wait until publishing is connected. Withdraw through Edit reel or contact us for removal requests.
