Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account information: your email address and an account identifier. If you sign in with Google, we may receive basic Google account details such as your name, email, and profile picture as made available by Google and our authentication provider.
• Discovery history: places you mark as visited or save to a Want to Go list, whether a visit was recorded as new or historical, an optional visit date, and timestamps needed to maintain your record.
• Technical information: authentication cookies and session data required to keep you signed in. Our hosting and authentication services may process technical information such as IP addresses, device/browser information, and request logs for operation and security.

Quested does not currently require GPS verification, precise location permissions, or payment information to record a discovery. We do not sell personal information or use advertising trackers. For signed-in beta users, we record limited product events such as session starts, onboarding visits, saved discoveries, and collection milestones to understand how Quested is used. We do not currently use third-party behavioral analytics cookies.

How we use information

We use this information to create and secure accounts, keep your discoveries, saved future adventures, and visit history, calculate progress across collections, show earned milestones, operate and improve the beta, investigate reliability or security issues, review voluntarily submitted feedback, and understand beta engagement. A single saved discovery can count toward multiple collections without requiring duplicate records.

Beta feedback

If you submit feedback through Quested, we store your selected category, message, account identifier, and submission time. Feedback is visible to the Quested team, not to other users. Please do not include sensitive personal information in your feedback.

Who processes information

Quested uses Supabase for authentication and storage, Google when you choose Google sign-in, and Vercel for website hosting. These services process information as needed to provide their functions under their own applicable terms and policies. Our catalog also loads some photographs from Wikimedia Commons, which may receive requests from your browser. We do not currently sell your personal information.

Account access, visibility, and security

Your recorded discoveries and Want to Go list are associated with your signed-in account and are not intended to be publicly visible to other Quested users in the current beta. The database uses account-based access rules to restrict discovery records. No internet service can promise absolute security, so please avoid entering sensitive personal details into places not intended for them.

Retention and your choices

You can update or remove individual recorded visits and Want to Go bookmarks from their discovery pages. Account information and remaining visits are generally retained while your account is active. Service providers may keep temporary logs or backup copies for their operational retention periods. A self-service account deletion feature is not yet available in the beta.

To request an account export or deletion, or ask a privacy question, email us at quested.support@gmail.com. We will review requests and may need to verify account ownership.

Children

Quested is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect their personal information. If you believe a child has submitted account information, please email quested.support@gmail.com.

Updates

As Quested evolves, we may change this policy, including when we introduce features such as public profiles, photo uploads, optional GPS verification, or analytics. We will update the effective date above when the policy changes and provide additional notice when appropriate.
