When you create an account we store your name, email, and profile picture (provided by Google, Apple, or entered manually). When you report an issue we store the location you select on the map, category, description, and any photos you upload. We also store comments, votes, and meetup attendance.
Your data is used solely to operate bydapeople — displaying issues on the map, powering the leaderboard, generating community reports, and sending you service-related notifications (magic-link sign-in, meetup reminders). We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We request browser geolocation only to center the map near you. Your live location is never stored on our servers. The location saved with an issue is the pin you place on the map, not your device coordinates.

We use Google Maps (map display, geocoding), Google Sign-In / Apple Sign-In (authentication), and Google Translate (optional page translation). Each service has its own privacy policy. We do not send your data to any analytics or advertising platforms.
