The Spot is run by Wyatt Eiden LLC Eau Claire, WI 54701, United States. For anything on this page, email support@thespot.page.
What we hold
- Your photo, once you pick one. It's re-saved in your browser before it's sent, which strips information the file carried, such as where it was taken.
- The name you type. It's shown publicly with your photo unless you choose to hide it. If you hide it, visitors see "Someone" and only we can see the name.
- Your email address, from your wallet (Apple Pay or Google Pay) or from the payment form.
- What happened with your submission: the amount, the time, whether it went up, and the payment's reference at Stripe.
- Ordinary web logs kept by our hosting, including IP addresses, for security and to keep the site working.
We never see or store your card details. They go from your device to Stripe.
What we do with it
- Show the photo and name on the site, if your photo is picked.
- Take payment, place and release holds, and pay refunds.
- Email you about your own submission: that you're in line, that your photo is up, that it came down, or that a hold was released. We don't send marketing email.
- Keep out bots and fraud, and keep records we're required to keep for tax and accounting.
Who else is involved
- Stripe takes the payment and sends your receipt. Stripe has its own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare hosts the site, stores the photos, checks you're not a bot, and sends our email. The bot check runs invisibly on every visit, using Cloudflare Turnstile; see Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum. Turnstile doesn't use your information for advertising and doesn't track you across sites.
Nobody else. We don't sell your information and we don't share it for advertising.
How long we keep it
- Rejected or taken-down photos: the file is deleted.
- Photos that went up: kept while the site runs, as part of the record of the spot.
- Payment records: kept as long as tax and accounting rules require, usually seven years.
- Web logs: kept for a short period by our hosting.
Your choices
- Hide your name with the checkbox before you pay.
- Ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing support@thespot.page. We may have to keep payment records even after deleting the rest.
- Ask us to take your photo down, at any time.
Your browser
We don't use tracking or advertising cookies. The site saves a reference to your own submission in your browser so it can show you what happened to it, and Stripe and Cloudflare set what they need for payments and bot checks.
Children
The site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
