Privacy notice
NomadShare is a non-profit community project. We collect as little as we can, share it with no one for marketing, and delete it when you ask.
What we store
- Account: email address, sign-in identifier, hashed password (handled by our authentication provider).
- Profile: display name, handle, avatar URL, optional Couchsurfing handle.
- Listings you publish and their approximate location (coordinates are rounded before being shared publicly).
- Messages you send to other users.
- Exchange history and points-ledger entries.
Why we store it
To operate the platform: let you sign in, show your listings to others, deliver messages, track exchanges, and moderate against the listing rules.
Who can see it
- Other users see your public profile fields and the listings you publish.
- The other party of a conversation or exchange sees the messages and details of that exchange.
- Platform staff can access data to investigate abuse reports and moderate content.
- We do not sell, rent, or share personal data for advertising.
Who processes it for us
- Lovable Cloud — hosting, database, authentication, edge compute.
- Google Maps — place search and map tiles. Your IP address is visible to Google when maps load.
- Lovable AI Gateway — automated screening of new listings.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies needed to keep you signed in. We do not run third-party advertising or behavioural analytics, so there is no cookie banner to dismiss.
Retention & deletion
We keep your data while your account is active. To delete your account and associated data, email meowtogetfood@gmail.com from the address on your account. Because the platform is volunteer-run, please allow up to 30 days. Messages you sent to other users may remain visible to them after deletion.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete the data we hold about you by emailing the address above. Depending on where you live (e.g. EU/UK, California), you may have additional rights under local law — we will honour those on request.
Children
NomadShare is intended for adults. Do not use the platform if you are under 18.
