Privacy & takedown
Milk Dragon Tracker is a student project for spotting the Milk Dragon on the Georgia Tech campus.
What we store
- Your @gatech.edu email, used only to sign you in. It is never shown to other users.
- Your username, shown on your posts.
- An optional profile picture, cropped to a square and saved without any photo metadata.
- Your sightings: the photo, the pin you placed, an optional caption and the time.
- Which posts you liked. Only you and the owner of each post you liked can see that it was you; everyone else sees a count.
- Reports you file: moderators see the reason, never who reported.
- Notifications about your own posts (likes, moderation). Only you can see them.
We do not store your IP address, device details or browsing history in the app.
Photos and location
- Every photo is re-encoded before it is saved. EXIF data, including GPS location, camera details and any other embedded metadata, is removed.
- The only location saved is the pin you choose, and it must be on campus. Your browser asks for your location only when you tap “Use my location”.
- Photos are stored privately and shown only through links that expire after one hour.
- Please don’t upload photos where other people are the subject. The Milk Dragon should be the star.
Services that see your requests
- OpenStreetMap serves the map tiles, so its servers see your IP address and which part of the map you view. See the OSMF privacy policy.
- The app is hosted on Vercel and stores data with Supabase; like any web host, they process requests (including IP addresses) to run the service.
- No ads, no analytics, no trackers.
Removing content
- Your own posts: open the post and choose Delete. The photo file is deleted with it.
- Your profile picture: Profile → ⋯ → Change profile picture → Remove. The file is deleted.
- Someone else’s post (for example, a photo of you): use Report on the post. Moderators can hide or remove it; a removed photo is deleted.
- Deleting your account, or any other request: email contact@milkdragontracker.com from your @gatech.edu address. Deleting an account removes your profile, sightings, likes, reports and stored files.
