Privacy Policy

When you make an account: your name, email, and password. If you add a phone number, that too.

About your business: whatever you put on your page — name, address, hours, photos, description, products, events. This is public by design. That’s the point of a directory.

When you pay: payments run through Stripe. They handle your card details and we never see or store your card number. We keep a record that a payment happened and what it was for.

When you use the site: pages you visited, roughly when, what browser you used, and your IP address. We use this to keep the site working and to see what’s broken.

When something crashes: we use Sentry to collect error reports, which can include what you were doing when it happened.

Anyone can add a spot to the harvest map without an account, and we designed it to collect as little as possible.

Locations are deliberately imprecise. The database physically cannot store a house-level coordinate — spots are recorded to roughly a block. We chose that so the map could never point strangers at a specific door.

We don’t collect a name, an email, or an account for a spot. If a spot is on your property and you’d rather it wasn’t listed, there’s a link on every one, and it comes down immediately. No account, no argument.

That map is published openly under the Open Database Licence, so anyone can download and use it. The download includes only what’s already visible on the map — never the private record of what’s been taken down or reported.

If you subscribe to The Good News, your email address lives with Buttondown, who send it. They’ll ask you to confirm before you’re really on the list, and every email has an unsubscribe link that actually works.

Stripe, for payments. Buttondown, if you subscribe. Supabase and Vercel, who host the site and the database. Sentry, for error reports. Mapbox, which draws the maps.

That’s it. We don’t sell your data, we don’t share it with advertisers, and we don’t run ads.

We’ll hand over information if the law genuinely requires it, and we’ll tell you unless we’re not allowed to.

Your page, your listing, your reviews, and your events are meant to be found. Search engines and AI assistants will index them. That’s what you’re paying for.

Some fields are yours to control. You choose what’s public on your page, and whether your location shows exactly or approximately.

See what we hold on you. Fix it if it’s wrong. Export it. Delete your account, which removes your content from the site.

Email hello@locallane.app and we’ll do it. We’re a small company, not a support maze.

Your account information for as long as you have an account, and a while after in case you come back. Payment records for seven years, because tax law says so. Error logs for a few months.

LocalLane is for adults. We don’t knowingly collect anything from anyone under 13, and if we find out we have, we delete it.

We use encrypted connections, we don’t store card numbers, and access to the database is restricted. No system is perfectly safe, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. If something goes wrong that affects you, we’ll tell you.

We’ll update this when things change, and we’ll date it so you can see. If a change is significant we’ll tell you rather than quietly editing.
