phillumeni ("we", "the app") is a matchbook-collecting app where you save the places whose matchbooks you've found, rank them, and follow other collectors. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have over it. We keep this deliberately short and plain.
Your collection and rankings are visible to people who follow you — not to the public. Someone who doesn't follow you sees only your name, photo, and city. City and World leaderboards show average scores per venue across all collectors, never tied to your name.
We do not sell your personal information, and we don't share it with advertisers. We share data only with the service providers below, who process it on our behalf to make the app work:
You can permanently delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account inside the app. This immediately and irreversibly removes your profile, your collection and rankings, your follows, and the photos you uploaded. Shared venues you were the first to add remain on the map for other collectors, but are no longer linked to you.
We keep your information for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your data is removed as described above. Standard provider logs may persist for a short period as part of normal security and backup routines.
Your data is stored with the reputable providers listed above, encrypted in transit, and access is limited to what's needed to run the service. That said, no method of storage or transmission over the internet is ever 100% secure, so while we work hard to protect your information, we can't guarantee it absolutely.
You can view and edit most of your information inside the app, and you can permanently delete all of it by deleting your account (above). Depending on where you live — for example California and other US states — you may also have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, email wyethwest@gmail.com and we'll respond as the law requires.
We may disclose information if we reasonably believe it is required by law or legal process, or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, protect the safety of any person, or protect the rights, property, or security of phillumeni and its collectors.
phillumeni is operated in the United States and your information is processed and stored there. If you use the app from outside the US, you understand your information will be handled in the US.
phillumeni is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
If we make a meaningful change to this policy, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, note it in the app.
