RockWatch

Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 July 2026

RockWatch exists to fix issues, not to collect data. This page explains, in plain words, what we hold and why.

What we collect

When you report an issue we collect the report itself: category, description, photo, location pin and the time it was sent.

If you create an account we also hold your name and email address so we can send you progress updates.

For safety and moderation, every report is linked to the account that sent it — including reports posted anonymously — and we record technical details such as the IP address it was submitted from. This information is visible only to RockWatch moderators, is never shown publicly, and is used solely to deal with abuse or false reports.

What is public

Reports are public so the whole community can see and support them: the title, category, location, photo and status.

Your name and contact details are never shown publicly and are never attached to a report on the map or in the feed.

How your data is used

Reports are public by design, so the whole community — including Gibraltar officials — can see and act on them.

We never sell your data, and we never use it for advertising.

How long we keep it

Resolved reports stay public as a record of what the community has improved. You can ask for your reports or your account to be deleted at any time.

Your rights

Under Gibraltar GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you. Reach us through the contact form on this site (topic "Privacy & data") and we'll respond within 30 days.
