WanderStamp — Privacy Policy

Effective 6 July 2026 · Sycamore Hill Studios

WanderStamp turns cities you visit into collectible postcards. It is built so that the least possible information about you ever leaves your phone.

What we collect

• Approximate location (city level). Your phone detects the city you are in on-device. Only the city/region/country name and a coordinate rounded to roughly 11 km are sent to our server to fetch or create that city's postcard. Your precise GPS location never leaves your device.
• An anonymous device ID. A random identifier created on first launch. It is not tied to your name, email, phone number, or advertising ID.
• Optional nickname. If you use social features you choose a public nickname. Other users can see your nickname, badge and city/country counts — never which places you visited. You can hide even the counts in Settings.
• Optional postcard notes. Notes you attach to cards you send are delivered to the recipient and stored with the sent card.

What we never collect

• No account, email, phone number, or contact list.
• No precise location history or movement tracks.
• No advertising identifiers; the app contains no ads and no third-party analytics.

How data is used and shared

Data is used solely to operate the app: generating postcards, awarding badges, delivering cards between users. We do not sell data or share it with third parties. Postcard artwork is a shared, non-personal artifact (the same card is shown to every visitor of a city). Data is stored in Microsoft Azure (United States) and encrypted in transit (HTTPS).

Blocking, reporting and moderation

You can block any user (they cannot contact you or see you) and report any received card. Notes are filtered for links and abusive language. Random-traveler mail can be switched off entirely in Settings.

Deleting your data

Settings → Delete my data permanently removes your collection records, profile, nickname, friend links, and inbox from our servers and from the device, immediately. No request form is needed. Uninstalling the app abandons the anonymous ID.

Children

WanderStamp is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
