Cookies Policy
Last updated 5 October 2026 · Covers the saintstamp.sh website and the Saint Stamp app
The short version
- Saint Stamp does not use cookies — not on the website, and not in the app.
- The website stores nothing on your device.
- The app stores some information on your phone so it can work without signal and keep you signed in. Nearly all of it is essential for the app to work.
- No advertising, no tracking, and nothing is shared with advertisers.
1. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Websites and apps can also save information using other browser features, such as local storage, IndexedDB and a service worker cache. This policy covers all of them.
2. The website (saintstamp.sh)
- No cookies, no stored data, no analytics and no advertising trackers.
- Phones that installed an early version of Saint Stamp from this address still have it registered. A small script removes it and its stored files, then removes itself. It saves nothing.
- Our typefaces come from Google Fonts. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but your device does contact Google to fetch them, so Google receives your IP address.
3. The app (app.saintstamp.sh)
The app uses no cookies. It does store the following on your device:
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in session | Keeps you signed in, so you don't need a new code each time you open the app | Until you sign out |
| Your stamps | Your passport, available with or without signal | Until you clear the app's data or remove the app |
| Stamps waiting to send | Stamps scanned without signal, sent automatically when you're back online | Until they are sent |
| App files, walk information and map tiles | Lets the app, walk guides and trail map work offline out on the trails | Until you clear the app's data; refreshed when the app updates |
| Settings and saved copies | Your preferences, plus saved copies of your profile, pass and leaderboards so they appear instantly, even offline | Until you clear the app's data |
| Install preferences | Remembers whether you've installed the app, so we don't keep asking | Until you clear the app's data |
| Dates of use (signed-in accounts only) | The dates you opened the app, held until there's signal to send them — see our Privacy Policy | Until sent, then cleared |
What is essential
Everything in the table except dates of use is needed for the app to do what you asked: keep you signed in, hold your stamps, and work without signal. Dates of use helps us count how many people use Saint Stamp. It records dates only — never times — is never shared, and is never collected for guests.
4. Other services the app contacts
To show the trail map, text and photographs, your device fetches content directly from:
- OpenStreetMap and OpenTopoMap — map tiles;
- Google Fonts — typefaces;
- St Helena Tourism — walk photographs.
These services receive your IP address and basic browser details when your device contacts them. Saint Stamp does not use them to track you.
5. How to clear it
- Sign out — in the app, open Me and choose Sign Out. This ends your session on that device.
- Clear the app's data — in your browser's settings, find app.saintstamp.sh under site settings and clear its stored data.
- Remove the app — delete it from your home screen.
Before you clear anything: if you use guest mode, your stamps exist only on that device and clearing its data deletes them for good. If you have an account, your stamps are kept safely and come back when you sign in again.
If you block storage altogether, the app cannot keep you signed in or work without signal.
6. Changes to this policy
If we change what we store, we will update this page and the date at the top. We will not add advertising or tracking cookies without asking for your permission first.
