Privacy Policy
This policy covers the “Phuket Rock Stars” mobile app (Thai: ร็อกสตาร์ภูเก็ต) and this support site.
Phuket Rock Stars is an unofficial, fan-run community app. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any artist, venue, TV show or broadcaster.
No accounts
The app has no sign-up and no login. We never ask for your email address, phone number or real name.
What is stored
- An anonymous id. The first time you open the app, a random id is generated and kept on your device. It exists only to stop the same device liking a post twice or checking in twice in a day, and to keep your points. It is not linked to you, and reinstalling the app replaces it with a new one.
- What you post. Messages, photo captions, chat messages, and the display name and country you type. This is public by design — do not put anything private in it.
- Photos you upload. Stored on Vercel Blob and reviewed before they appear. Do not upload photos of other people without their agreement.
- Your fan map pin. If you add one, the city you type is looked up by our server and placed at city level — never your exact location.
- Reports and blocks. When you report content or block a user, that is recorded with your anonymous id so moderators can act on it. Blocked users are also remembered on your device.
- IP address, briefly. Used only for rate limiting, to stop flooding. It is kept as a short-lived counter that expires within an hour and is never attached to your posts.
- Notification token. If you turn on notifications about new posts, the app registers with Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, which issues a random device token. We store that token and your app language so notifications can be delivered. Switching notifications off deletes it. Finale and daily reminders are scheduled entirely on your device.
What is not done
- No advertising, and no advertising SDKs.
- No tracking across apps or websites.
- No profiles built about you, and nothing sold or shared.
- No device location, contacts or device identifiers collected.
Who processes the data
The backend runs on Vercel. Posts and scores are stored in Upstash Redis, and uploaded photos in Vercel Blob. Notifications are delivered by Google Firebase Cloud Messaging. The fan map loads its map images directly from OpenStreetMap, which sees the request from your device under its own policy. This support site counts aggregate, cookieless page views with Vercel Web Analytics.
Reporting and removal
Every post, photo and chat message in the app has Report and Block buttons, and reports are handled within 24 hours. To have something you posted removed, or to ask what is stored about your anonymous id, email leerthaismetmij@gmail.com with the display name you used and roughly when. Requests are handled within 30 days.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. No personal detail is required to use it. If you believe a child has posted identifying information, email the address above and it will be removed.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
