1. Who we are

Flush Finder ("the Service") is operated by the Flush Finder team ("we", "us"), who acts as the data controller for personal data processed in connection with the Service.

2. Personal data we collect

  • Account data: email address, name, and authentication identifiers (including identifiers from sign-in providers such as Google and Apple).
  • User content: bathroom listings, ratings, reviews, and any other content you submit.
  • Approximate location: when you opt in, to surface nearby bathrooms.
  • Usage and device data: IP address, browser/device identifiers, pages viewed, and basic telemetry needed to operate and secure the Service.
  • Support communications: any messages you send us.
  • Transaction metadata: when you tip, our payment provider Paddle processes your payment. We receive a transaction record (amount, currency, status, timestamp) but do not see or store your full card details.

  • To respond to your support requests (legitimate interests);
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. Sharing of personal data

We share personal data with the following categories of recipients:

  • Service providers / subprocessors that host and operate the Service (database, authentication, analytics, error monitoring).
  • Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record, for processing payments, subscription management, invoicing, and tax compliance.
  • Sign-in providers (Google, Apple) when you choose to use them.
  • Authorities where required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property.

5. International transfers

Our providers may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

6. Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When no longer needed, data is deleted or anonymised.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, object to certain processing, and withdraw consent. EU/UK residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, and audit logging, to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to operate core features of the Service. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
