Privacy Policy

Effective: March 4, 2026

StreetSpot ("we," "our," or "the App") is a real-time vendor discovery platform connecting street vendors (Founders) with nearby customers (Finders). This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you interact with StreetSpot.

01Location Data Collection (GPS)

StreetSpot relies on GPS-based location data to provide its core functionality. We collect location information differently depending on your role:

Founders (Vendors)

GPS coordinates: Collected when you explicitly tap 'Go Live' to pin your location on the map.

Precision: We use device-native geolocation APIs. Coordinates are accurate to approximately 10 meters.

Duration: Your pinned location is stored in-session only. When your closing time is reached or you go offline, your pin is automatically removed.

Background tracking: StreetSpot does NOT track your location in the background. GPS is only accessed when you explicitly request it.

Finders (Customers)

Map center: Your location is requested only when you choose the locate control. The map uses it to center in your browser; map tile requests go to the tile provider.

No storage: The app does not send the locate result to its own server. If you choose to pin a spot or go live, its coordinates are kept in the browser's current app state.

02Vendor Mapping & Public Profiles

When a Founder goes live, the following information is displayed publicly on the StreetSpot map and is visible to all Finders:

Business name: The vendor name you provide during login.

Description: Your short vendor description (up to 120 characters).

Pinned GPS location: Displayed as a map marker to help customers find you.

Closing time: Shown alongside a countdown timer so customers know your availability.

Gold status: If you are a Gold subscriber, your pin receives a distinctive gold marker and appears in the Featured Vendors section.

All vendor map data is ephemeral. When your session ends or your closing time passes, your pin and associated information are permanently removed from the map. We do not maintain a historical record of vendor locations.

03Information We Collect

StreetSpot collects the minimum data necessary to operate:

Data Type	Purpose	Retention
Business name	Map display	Session only
GPS coordinates	Pin placement	Until closing time
Closing time	Auto-removal	Session only
Payment info	Gold subscription	Handled by Stripe

This website's vendor dashboard does not provide a verified account sign-in. Do not treat a name entered in the dashboard as a verified identity. The support email is used only when you choose to contact StreetSpot.

04Data Protection & Security

We employ the following measures to protect your data:

Encryption in transit: Use StreetSpot over HTTPS. Security and request logging at external providers are governed by their own policies.

Browser storage: Some tools save favorites, parking, spots, reviews, messages, travel records, and claim requests in this browser's local storage. These records are not synced to a StreetSpot account or shared across devices.

Payment security: The plan links open Stripe-hosted checkout. This website does not collect card details or verify or record a completed payment in a StreetSpot account.

Third-party access: We do not sell, share, or provide your data to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes.

Map tile provider: The map uses OpenStreetMap tiles. Tile requests are sent to its tile service, which may process request metadata under its own policies.

05Payments & Subscriptions

The vendor dashboard contains links to Stripe-hosted plan checkout. Those links leave StreetSpot and are governed by the checkout provider's terms:

Checkout: Plan links open a Stripe-hosted checkout page. StreetSpot does not receive card details through this website.

Status: This website has no payment webhook or authenticated subscription state, so a return to the site does not verify payment or activate a plan.

Stripe's handling of your payment information is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy.

06Your Rights & Choices

You have full control over your data on StreetSpot:

Opt out of GPS: Deny or revoke location permissions in your browser/device settings at any time. The app will still function but cannot pin your location.

Go offline: Toggle your live status off at any time. Your pin and all associated data are immediately removed from the map.

Data deletion: Use browser settings to clear locally stored feature data. Account deletion requests can be sent to support; self-service deletion is not available because no account backend is configured.

Cookie usage: StreetSpot uses sessionStorage for temporary state management only (vendor ID, business name). No tracking cookies are used.

07Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
