Restroom Report is designed to help people find and rate public-access restrooms while collecting only what is needed to operate the service.

Information you provide

When you submit a location, rating, comment, feedback request, or account information, we may store that content and basic information needed to associate it with your contribution.

Location information

If you allow location access, Restroom Report uses your approximate or precise location to show nearby restrooms and help confirm that ratings come from people near a location. Browser permission is optional and can be changed in your device settings.

What we do not collect

Device storage

The web app may temporarily store preferences, cached app files, and contribution history on your device for performance and offline use.

Practice reviews and verdict cards

Practice reviews stay on your device. They do not create public ratings, change your profile, or require location access. The website’s mascot jokes and scenes use prepared content.

If you choose to share or download an illustrated verdict card, it contains a prepared joke and Restroom Report branding. Your name, location, written note, and rating history are excluded from that card. Sharing happens only after you choose a destination in your device’s share controls.

Optional on-device quips in the iPhone app

If you enable on-device AI quips in a compatible native version, Apple’s local model remixes a prepared joke about a selected answer category. Your identity, location, written note, and review history are excluded from that model input. This feature makes no cloud AI requests. Quip requests and generated replies are not stored in our analytics or database.

The option is off by default. Prepared replies cover unavailable, slow, or rejected generation. Generated side remarks do not change your saved review or profile, and illustrated share cards keep their prepared verdict.

Cookies and analytics

Restroom Report uses Google Analytics (through Firebase) to understand how the web app is used, such as which pages are visited and how often. This sets analytics cookies in your browser. These cookies are not loaded until you accept them in the cookie banner shown on your first visit; declining keeps them off. Signing in still works either way, since authentication uses its own cookies that are required for the service to function and are not affected by this choice.

You can change your analytics choice at any time by opening this link, which brings back the cookie banner.

Service providers

We may use providers such as mapping, hosting, analytics, authentication, and database services to operate Restroom Report. These providers process information under their own privacy terms.

Your choices

You can deny location access, decline analytics cookies, clear browser storage, or contact support to request help with your data.
