Any unauthorized use, replication, distribution, or modification of application materials is strictly prohibited.
Acceptable Use & Verification Vouching
Directory reviews, storefront verifications, and proximity vouching require active GPS confirmation. Submitting false data or attempting to bypass verification protocols is grounds for immediate account termination.
Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data you share with the movement.
GPS & Location Processing
Our proximity checks are processed client-side. The app requests GPS coordinates solely to verify your physical presence within 100 meters of a business when submitting storefront verification requests. Physical location coordinates are not persistently tracked or stored on our servers.
SMS Authentication & Registration
We use phone numbers solely for SMS verification to prevent database spam. Your credential data remains private and will never be shared with third parties.
