ROYAL FLUSH: BATHROOM REVIEWS

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 15, 2026

Operated by Artisan Apps — Salt Lake City, Utah

1. Introduction

Artisan Apps (“Artisan Apps,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Royal Flush: Bathroom Reviews mobile application (the “App”), a crowd-sourced restroom discovery and rating platform. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you download, install, or use the App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the App and does not apply to information collected through other websites, applications, or services operated by Artisan Apps or third parties.

2. Information We Collect

We do not access your Gmail content, Google Drive files, Google Photos, Google Calendar data, contacts, search history, or any other Google account information. We request only the information necessary to create and maintain your Royal Flush: Bathroom Reviews account.

Future versions of the App may support Apple Sign-In. If Apple Sign-In is added, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect any information received through that authentication method.

3. Google Sign-In Information

Royal Flush: Bathroom Reviews uses Google Sign-In to allow users to create and access accounts. When you choose to sign in with Google, Google transmits to us only the information covered by the permissions you have granted and that our application has requested—typically your Google account identifier, email address, and name.

We do not receive, request, or store any other information from your Google account, including but not limited to Gmail messages, Google Drive contents, Google Photos, Google Calendar entries, your contacts, your search history, or your location history from Google services.

Your use of Google Sign-In is also governed by Google’s own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review those documents to understand how Google handles your information.

4. Location Information

Location information is central to the Royal Flush: Bathroom Reviews experience. We use location data for the following purposes:

To identify and display restroom facilities near your current location

To verify that you are in reasonable proximity to a restroom facility before allowing you to submit a rating or review, helping ensure that submitted ratings reflect genuine visits

To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including GPS spoofing, location falsification, and coordinated rating manipulation

To improve data quality and the overall accuracy of the platform

To improve App functionality and user experience

We may collect approximate or precise location information when permitted by your device settings and applicable operating system permissions. Disabling or restricting location permissions may limit certain features of the App.

Some features of the App, including the ability to view nearby restrooms and submit ratings, may not function correctly or at all if you have disabled location permissions for the App. You may manage location permissions at any time through your device’s operating system settings.

5. User Content

The App is designed to collect and display crowd-sourced information. When you submit ratings, reviews, comments, amenity information, accessibility details, graffiti ratings, or any other content through the App, that content becomes part of the Royal Flush: Bathroom Reviews platform and may be visible to other users of the App.

Your username may be displayed publicly alongside content you submit. You should not include personal information in usernames, reviews, comments, or other submissions that you do not wish to be publicly visible. Usernames may be modified, removed, restricted, or reassigned in accordance with our Terms of Service and moderation policies.

Content you submit is also subject to the license you grant to Artisan Apps under our Terms of Service. Please review the Terms of Service for a complete description of your rights and our rights with respect to user-submitted content.

Royal Flush: Bathroom Reviews does not currently permit users to upload photographs or other image files. We do not collect or store user-uploaded images.

6. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To operate and provide the App and its features

To authenticate users and maintain account security

To verify restroom visits and maintain the integrity of ratings and reviews

To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent submissions, GPS spoofing, rating manipulation, and other abuse

To enforce our Terms of Service and platform policies

To improve the quality, accuracy, and reliability of crowd-sourced restroom data

To analyze App performance, diagnose technical issues, and resolve errors

We will provide notice of such a transfer and any resulting changes to this Privacy Policy as required by applicable law.

8. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with or relies upon the following third-party services, each of which may collect or process information in connection with your use of the App:

Supabase. We use Supabase as a backend database and infrastructure provider. Information you submit through the App may be stored and processed using Supabase’s services.

Crash Reporting Providers. We may use third-party crash reporting tools to collect diagnostic information when the App encounters errors or crashes.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services with which the App integrates.

9. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law.

User-submitted content, including ratings, reviews, comments, and other restroom-related submissions, may be retained indefinitely as part of the crowd-sourced platform dataset, even after account deletion, unless you specifically request deletion of associated content.

Account information, including authentication records and profile data, is retained for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to support account recovery, resolve disputes, and fulfill legal obligations.

Location verification records and fraud-prevention records may be retained as long as reasonably necessary for security, enforcement, and abuse-prevention purposes.

Moderation records related to policy enforcement may be retained for the period necessary to enforce our Terms of Service and prevent repeat violations.

Technical and diagnostic data, including crash reports and usage logs, may be retained for the period necessary to diagnose and resolve technical issues.

When information is no longer needed for any of these purposes and is not subject to a legal hold or retention obligation, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

10. Security

Artisan Apps uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission, access controls, and secure infrastructure practices.

However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.

If you believe your account or information has been compromised, please contact us at the address provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

11. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed toward children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use the App or submit any information through it.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as promptly as reasonably practicable. If you believe we may have collected information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at the address below.
