1. Information we collect
We collect account information you provide, including your name, email, phone number, business or employment details, and payment-related data required to process tips.
For independent operators, we also collect public-profile information, social-channel details, profile media, self-declared permit or licence references, category details, an 18-or-over attestation timestamp and policy version, application review records and reports submitted through Tipican. We do not store a second copy of date-of-birth data for the age attestation.
When app notifications are enabled, we collect device notification tokens and delivery status so we can send account and moderation updates.
2. Location information
Independent operators deliberately provide exact coordinates for live sessions and recurring schedule locations. We use those coordinates to show approved operators to nearby customers and to distinguish live from planned locations.
Tipican V1 does not collect background location. Location is captured only when the operator uses a foreground action to create, relocate or manage a location-based feature.
A live-session location is stored with that session. Ended and expired live-session records are deleted after 30 days. A recurring schedule location remains published until the operator removes the schedule slot.
3. How we use information
We use your information to operate Tipican: creating accounts, reviewing operator applications, publishing approved profiles and locations, processing and distributing tips, enabling payouts, handling reports, sending transactional email and app notifications, preventing misuse and providing support.
4. Sharing
We share necessary data with Stripe to process payments and payouts, and with service providers that help us host Tipican, deliver transactional email and send app notifications. Approved public-profile, live-location and schedule information is shown to Tipican users as part of the service. We do not sell your personal data.
5. Retention and your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. We may retain payment, moderation, security and legal records where required to operate the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or prevent abuse.
