Privacy
Antipode.site is built to feel global while keeping personal location data limited. Location permission is requested only when you choose to use your current position.
Location
Browser geolocation runs only after you request it. The app uses the coordinates to calculate and display the antipode. Heatmap storage rounds points into broad zones, so exact personal coordinates are not stored for public heatmap display.
Heatmap
Search-density heatmap data is stored in coarse 10-degree zones. It is designed to show broad interest areas, not individual people or exact points.
Daily Challenge
Daily Challenge uses a random device id saved in your browser to prevent repeated completions on the same device. The database stores challenge date, score, distance, guessed point, target point, and completion time.
Beat the Globe
Beat the Globe stores leaderboard submissions with the nickname you enter, mode, score, round count, average distance, combo stats, and completion time. Run verification also uses the anonymous device id.
Challenge a Friend
Friend challenges store the generated rounds, submitted player names, scores, average distance, round results, and completion time so the shared results page can compare attempts. No realtime tracking is used.
Local Browser Data
Recent points, preferences, nicknames, Daily state, and random device ids may be stored in localStorage. You can clear this from your browser site settings or by clearing site data for Antipode.site.
Third-Party Services
Antipode.site may call mapping, weather, geocoding, elevation, and Street View services to render the experience and enrich results. These services may receive request details needed to answer those lookups.
Analytics
Lightweight analytics are used to understand feature usage, such as game starts and completions. They store event names, mode labels, broad metadata, and timestamps. They do not store exact coordinates.
Error Monitoring
Optional error monitoring may collect technical details about crashes, such as browser, route, stack trace, and app version. It is used to fix bugs, not to build user profiles.
Data Removal
You can remove local browser data by clearing site data for Antipode.site. Public leaderboard entries and friend challenge attempts are shared by design; if removal tools are added later, this page will be updated.
