Location is never needed to join, read, or use the community. No GPS history, analytics, ad tracking or third-party map scripts are included.
Location stays in browser memory, only after you click Use My Location and grant the browser permission. Clear Location removes the marker. No precise coordinates are sent to TICINO’s application. Your browser or operating system may use an external location provider.
TICINO uses one essential authentication and form-protection session cookie. It is HttpOnly and SameSite Strict, Secure on HTTPS, without a persistent lifetime. Sign out destroys the session and expires its cookie; the sign-out landing page does not create a new one.
Public venue listings, reviews, discussions, broad profile details and optional member-visible external app links are stored only when submitted. Accounts store a password hash and pseudonym; email is optional. Delete your reviews or clear app links from your profile. Private messages are stored in server-private application data accessible only to the participants through the app, but they are not end-to-end encrypted.
No remote map tiles, trackers, dating-app sign-ins, exercise imports, payment SDKs or third-party embeds are loaded. Clicking a member’s external link leaves TICINO; that service may collect its own data. Provider-specific consent and production security review will be required before any future integrations.
