Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 11, 2026
Lo-Fi Network LLC (“Lo-Fi,” “we,” “us”) operates Lo-Fi Local, Lo-Fi kiosks,
and related web pages and services (the “Service”).
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected and how it is used.
Information We Collect
-
Shop-submitted information:
Businesses that participate in the Lo-Fi network may provide information such as
business names, addresses, website or social links, images, descriptions,
promotional content, and contact information.
This information is used to display listings, updates, and related content
within the Lo-Fi network.
-
Interaction data:
When users scan Lo-Fi QR codes or interact with Lo-Fi pages,
the Service may record limited interaction events such as scans,
page visits, button taps, participation activity, timestamps,
and kiosk or shop identifiers.
-
Session and device identifiers:
Randomly generated session or device identifiers may be used to support
anonymous participation features, prevent abuse, and measure activity
across the network.
These identifiers are not used to build advertising profiles or perform
cross-site behavioral tracking.
-
Device and technical information:
Basic technical information may be collected to maintain reliability
and improve the Service, including browser type, device type,
operating system, app version, referring pages,
and general diagnostic or performance data.
How We Use Information
- To display shop listings and updates.
- To operate kiosk, QR, and local discovery experiences.
-
To support features such as events, crawls, scavenger hunts,
participation tracking, and community activity experiences.
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To prevent fraud, spam, abuse, or manipulation of the platform.
- To communicate with participating businesses.
Lo-Fi is designed to operate using anonymous interaction data
rather than personal user profiles.
Sharing
Lo-Fi does not sell personal information or use personal data
to build third-party advertising profiles.
Limited information may be shared with trusted service providers
that help operate the Service and related infrastructure.
These providers may include:
- Cloudflare (hosting, security, analytics, and content delivery)

-
Google services such as Sheets or Forms used for onboarding
or content management
-
Fully Kiosk Browser software used on certain in-store kiosk devices
These providers operate under their own privacy policies and terms.
Aggregated or anonymized interaction statistics
(such as scan counts, participation totals, or general activity metrics)
may be used to measure activity across the Lo-Fi network.
Information may also be disclosed if required by law.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as necessary to:
- Operate the Service
