Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

SkipQueue ("we", "the app") is built to respect your privacy. This policy describes what we collect, what we don't, and your rights.

What we collect

• Approximate device location — only while the app is open, only to show places near you. Not stored long-term.
• Anonymous wait-time reports — when you submit a report, we store the place, the reported status, and a randomly-generated anonymous ID that lives only on your device. We cannot link any report to a real person.
• Place data cache — to reduce API costs, we cache Google Places details (hours, photos, ratings) in our database for up to 90 days. No user data is in this cache.

What we do not collect

• We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any account details. The app has no accounts.
• We do not store your precise GPS coordinates.
• We do not sell, share, or rent any data to third parties.
• We do not include analytics or tracking SDKs.

Third-party services

• Google Places API — SkipQueue's server proxies place data (names, hours, photos, ratings) from Google Places API. Google's terms and privacy policy apply to that data. The API key is stored server-side only and is not included in the app binary.
• Supabase — used to store anonymous reports and the place-details cache. Subject to Supabase's privacy policy.

Accuracy disclaimer

Wait times shown in SkipQueue are user-reported and may be inaccurate, outdated, or missing. SkipQueue makes no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information in the app. Do not rely on the app for time-critical or safety-critical decisions.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SkipQueue and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of time, wasted trips, or missed opportunities, arising from your use of or reliance on the app.

No warranties

The app is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Your responsibility

You use the app at your own risk. You are solely responsible for verifying any information from the app before making decisions based on it.

Children

SkipQueue is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.

EU Users / Data Subjects (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection law, including the right to access, correct, or erase personal data we hold about you, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

SkipQueue does not collect account information, persistent identifiers, or data that directly identifies you. If you submit a wait-time report, that report is stored without your name or contact details. If you believe we hold any personal data about you, contact us at SkipQ.feedback@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.

The legal basis for any incidental data processing is our legitimate interest in operating the app (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We do not transfer personal data outside the EEA except as required to operate on cloud infrastructure (Supabase, hosted in the US). Where such transfers occur, they are covered by the provider's standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed.

Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, except that EU data-protection rights described above are governed by applicable EU/UK law.
