Effective July 26, 2026 · Applies to gettagtime.com and the Tag Time iOS beta
Tag Time is a small, independent project operated by TenFifty LLC. This page explains — in plain language — what we collect, why, and what your choices are. If anything here is unclear, email hello@gettagtime.com and a human will answer.
The website and the waitlist
This website has no analytics scripts and no advertising trackers. If you join the beta waitlist, we collect the email address you enter, for exactly one purpose: contacting you about the Tag Time beta.
- Waitlist emails are stored with MailerLite, our email service provider, and are subject to a confirmation step (double opt-in).
- If our email service is unreachable from your network, the form falls back to a signup stored with Netlify, our website host, and we transfer it to the waitlist manually.
- Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing is immediate. You can also ask us to delete your address entirely.
- Our host (Netlify) keeps standard server logs (IP address, request time) to operate the site, as virtually every website's infrastructure does.
The Tag Time app (beta)
The app is currently an invite-only beta distributed through Apple TestFlight (Apple's own terms cover TestFlight itself). If you use the app, here is what it works with:
- Account: the email address you sign in with, plus your username, display name, and avatar if you set them. Stored with Supabase, our backend provider.
- Precise location — the heart of the app. While the app is open, it reads your location continuously to show the map, measure distances, unlock nearby content, and place the AR view. We don't read your location in the background. Importantly, location is part of the content itself: every tag you create stores the coordinates it's pinned to, and when you unlock a tag by being there, we record that visit — which is, in plain terms, a history of places you've physically been while using Tag Time. Both live on our servers as part of your account.
- Content you create: tags (text, photos, video, audio) and the location they're pinned to. Photos are re-encoded to strip embedded metadata (such as EXIF location data) before upload. Video is not yet stripped this way, so a video you upload may still carry the capture location its camera recorded. Uploaded media is stored with Supabase and served from web links — the app's visibility settings control who can discover your content, but anyone who has a media link can open it, as with most social apps.
- Visibility: each tag is private, followers-only, or public — your choice per tag, changeable later. Be aware that a public tag is discoverable by strangers who are at or near that location, together with your username.
- Social activity: follows, likes, comments, saved tags, and journeys you build are stored so the features work, and are visible to other users where the product shows them (e.g. a comment carries your username).
- Camera, microphone, photo library, motion: used only for the features that need them (creating content and the AR view), each behind the standard iOS permission prompt.
- Crash and performance reports: if the app crashes or misbehaves, a technical report (device model, OS version, what the code was doing) goes to Sentry so we can fix it. These reports aren't used for advertising or profiling.
- Place search: when you search for a place or the app resolves an address, the search text and relevant coordinates are sent to Google (Places service) to return results. Address lookups also use OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service, which our server queries on your behalf.
- Snapping a tag to a building. When you drop a tag, the app sends those coordinates directly from your device to OpenStreetMap's Overpass service to find the building or feature you're standing at, so the tag lands on the right spot rather than on raw GPS. Because this request goes straight from your device, OpenStreetMap sees it the way any website you visit would — including your IP address. We send no account information with it.
- Nearby events shown in the app come from Ticketmaster; we send them no personal data — only the area to look up events for.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data, ever.
- We don't share your data with anyone except the service providers named above, who process it on our behalf.
- We don't run ads or ad tracking.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account (and the content that belongs to it) from inside the app, or email hello@gettagtime.com and we'll do it for you — waitlist entries included.
Children
Tag Time isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll update this page and the effective date above, and — for anything significant — tell beta users directly.
