Last updated: January 15, 2026

Introduction

At reSentre, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use our service.

Information We Collect

Account Information

If you choose to create an account, we collect:

  • Email address (for account creation and communication)
  • Password (stored securely using industry-standard hashing)
  • Account preferences and settings
  • Your first name (optional) - only collected if you provide it

Check-in Data

When you create a check-in, we collect:

  • Emotional state and mood information
  • Location data (optional) - only collected with your explicit consent
  • Timestamp of the check-in
  • Any additional notes or information you choose to include

Important: Location data is completely optional and never required. We only collect or use your location if you explicitly provide consent. When you do choose to share location, we store accurate latitude and longitude coordinates internally to provide you with accurate location-based recommendations. However, your exact location coordinates are never displayed on our public map. For public display, we only use approximate locations (geohash) with approximately 1.2km precision to protect your privacy.

Anonymous Usage

You can use reSentre without creating an account. In this case, we assign you an anonymous identifier (stored in a cookie) to maintain your session and provide basic functionality. This identifier cannot be used to identify you personally.

Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use our service:

  • IP address (for security and service functionality)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information
  • Usage patterns and analytics (if you consent to analytics cookies)

Payment Information

When you make a purchase or subscription, payment information is processed securely through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We do not store your complete payment card information on our servers. Stripe collects and processes:

  • Payment card details (processed securely by Stripe, not stored by us)
  • Billing address and contact information
  • Transaction history and subscription details

Stripe's collection and use of your payment information is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We only receive information necessary to confirm payment completion and manage your subscription.

How We Use Your Information

Service Provision

Public Map (Optional)

If you choose to contribute to our public map, we use your check-in data to show general mood trends across areas. Your individual data and exact location coordinates are never displayed. The public map only uses approximate location data (geohash) and shows:

  • Approximate areas using geohash (approximately 1.2km precision, not precise coordinates)

Data Privacy Principles

Private by Default

All your check-ins and personal data are private by default. We do not share your individual data with anyone unless you explicitly choose to contribute to the public map.

Location is Optional

Location data is completely optional and never required. We only collect or use your location if you explicitly provide consent. When you do choose to share location, we store accurate latitude and longitude coordinates to provide you with accurate location-based recommendations. However, these exact coordinates are never displayed on our public map. For public display, we only use approximate locations (geohash with approximately 1.2km precision) to protect your privacy.

Aggregated Public Data

The public map only shows general mood trends in approximate areas. Individual check-ins can never be identified, and we only display areas with 3 or more check-ins.

Your Data, Your Control

You can export or delete your data at any time through your account settings. You have full control over your information.

Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Passwords are hashed using secure algorithms and never stored in plain text
  • Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS
  • Access to your data is restricted to authorised personnel only
  • Regular security audits and updates

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information (such as your email address or account details) to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent: If you choose to contribute to the public map, aggregated data may be displayed
  • Location-based insights and analytics: We may use aggregated, anonymised emotional and location data to provide insights about how specific locations or areas affect emotional states. This information may be used for research, analytics, and business consulting purposes. Individual user identities are never disclosed, and this data cannot be used to identify you personally. Only aggregated emotional patterns associated with specific locations are shared, without any personal information.
