Website submissions

The contact form sends your name, email address, general location, topic, and message to a private organization inbox. Only designated organization administrators can read these requests. Messages are available in the inbox for 180 days, then deleted during routine cleanup. You may ask for earlier removal. No account is required, and submitting a request does not subscribe you to a mailing list. To request a correction or deletion, email the address below with your request reference. Do not submit medical records, financial account information, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive information through the public form.

Watershed Eye accounts

Passwordless sign-in is provided through Supabase and uses your email address, a secure sign-in session, and basic account timestamps. Restoring What Was Lost stores a separate member record so verified reports and service history can remain connected if the sign-in provider changes.

Reports, photos, and location

Watershed Eye stores the photo, coordinates, time, report category, project review, and completion history needed to assess and coordinate a report. Public summaries of approved ordinary field reports show the report category, general setting, reporting month, and cleanup status. Specifically authorized report photographs and edited field descriptions may also appear on public report pages. Other submitted evidence, exact locations, and member details remain limited to signed-in members with the appropriate project role. Private household-support reports are excluded from public summaries. A private household-support photo and exact location are restricted to the reporter and project leads and are not sent for automated image analysis.

Community profiles and messages

Your bio, profile photo, skills, contact visibility, private-message permission, volunteer-recognition permission, and newsletter permission are controlled separately. Contact details are never public. Messages are visible to the sender and recipient unless one is reported for a private project-lead safety review. A reported item is copied into the review record so it cannot be changed before review.

Sharing and outside services

Information is not sold or used for unrelated marketing. It may be shared with a project partner, emergency service, public agency, or contractor only when reasonably needed to assess or complete the request, protect someone, comply with law, or operate the service. Account authentication is processed by Supabase; automated image analysis may be provided by OpenAI for ordinary field reports. Private household-support images are excluded from automated analysis. Cloudflare hosts the application and private evidence storage. Google Fonts supplies typefaces. Watershed Eye’s field map uses map data served from this website by default and does not contact a commercial map provider during ordinary viewing. If you choose Aerial, your device requests imagery from Kentucky’s public KyFromAbove service. Choosing an attribution or external-map link sends ordinary connection information, and for an external-map link the selected location, to that provider.

Retention and choices

Account and community records are kept while the account or project remains active. Ordinary field records may be retained as project history, grant evidence, or a legal or safety record. Under retention policy 2026-08-24-v1, closed or rejected private household-support reports are automatically stripped of photos, exact locations, free text, and member identity after 90 days; only a non-locational monthly project summary remains. This policy version uses one fixed 90-day window; any future exception or legal hold must have its own documented, reviewable audit record before this notice changes. You can download a personal record export and track correction, access, restriction, content-removal, or deletion requests inside Watershed Eye. You may also withdraw optional recognition or newsletter permission.

Privacy, correction, export, and deletion requests may be sent to brandon@restoringwhatwaslost.com. Include only enough information to locate the record.
