Privacy & Data Security
We built Signal Bouncer because we're detectorists too. We understand that your site locations and finds are valuable — and private. Here's exactly how we protect your data.
Your Data Stays Yours
- We never sell, share, or give your data to third parties.
- Other users cannot see your sites, finds, or GPS coordinates — ever.
- We don't run ads and don't use tracking for advertising purposes.
- You can export all your data (sites, finds, photos) as a ZIP file anytime from Settings.
- You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.
GPS & Location Privacy
- You control whether exact GPS coordinates are stored — you can round them to ~1 km in Settings.
- When exporting data, you can choose to round or completely remove coordinates.
- GPS data is stored only on our server and is never sent anywhere else.
- We do not track your location in the background. GPS is only used when you choose to log a find or start a hunt.
Security
- All connections use HTTPS encryption.
- Passwords are hashed with bcrypt — we never store or see your password.
- We support passkey authentication for passwordless, phishing-resistant sign-in.
- Session tokens are short-lived and securely managed.
Site Sharing
- Sharing is always opt-in. You choose exactly which sites to share and with whom.
- You can revoke access to shared sites at any time.
- Nothing you add to Signal Bouncer is ever publicly visible.
Analytics
- We use minimal analytics (Google Analytics) to understand how the app is used — not to track individuals.
- We do not fingerprint browsers or create user profiles for marketing.
