Privacy

Last updated November 11, 2026

Short version: we collect as little as we can. There are no accounts, no ad trackers, and we never sell anything about you. Route 8080 is run by [your legal name or company], Canada. Questions or requests: road@route8080.com.

If you just drive by

• No tracking cookies. Your browser remembers a few settings on your own device (whether you closed the intro bar, and which signs you’ve already passed this visit), and nothing else.
• Honks: to allow one honk per person per sign per day, we keep a scrambled code made from your IP address, browser and the date. It can’t be turned back into your IP address, and it changes every day. We never store your IP address.
• Counts: we count visits, signs passed, clicks and honks to show real numbers on the road and to owners. These counts aren’t linked to you.
• Drivers online: while the road is open, your browser joins a live count with a random code that’s thrown away when you leave.
• Analytics and errors: Vercel Web Analytics counts page views without cookies. If something breaks, an error report (what went wrong and on which page, without your IP address) goes to Sentry so we can fix it.

If you rent a sign or fill a tank

• Your email, for receipts, approval news, gas warnings and, if you own a sign, a monthly road report. Every road report has an unsubscribe link.
• Your sign (name, pitch, logo, link and paint): public on the road, on its share image and on its badge, which is the point.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep Stripe’s payment IDs, the amount and the date.
• While you’re at checkout, the same kind of daily scrambled code as for honks limits how many miles one person can hold at once.
• When someone fills your tank, we tell you that it happened, never who did it.

The waitlist

If you join the waitlist, we keep your email (and the mile you’d like, if you picked one) to tell you when signs open. You can leave any time from the link in our emails.

Who helps us run Route 8080

• Vercel: hosting and page-view analytics (United States)
• Supabase: our database and logo storage (Canada)
• Stripe: payments
• Resend: sending email
• Sentry: error reports

Some of them store data outside Canada.

How long we keep things

We keep a record of every sign and payment, because we need it for accounting and taxes (in Canada, generally six years). Honk codes are only useful for a day. You can ask us to delete your email from anything we don’t have to keep, or for a copy of what we hold about you. We’ll answer within 30 days.

Still to fill: your legal name or company. This is written to Canada’s PIPEDA; the same practices broadly fit EU, US and UK rules, but check the wording if you can.
