● Trust & privacy
A recovery network sees where you lost things, what they're worth, and who might be selling them. FoundWall is built to hold all of that lightly — coarse locations, cautious matches, and evidence that stays yours.
Location rounded ≥1.5 km · serials & chips hidden · data held in Canada
Every notice snaps to a zone at least 1.5 km across. We store the rounded area and publish the rounded area. An exact GPS coordinate is never published — to neighbours, on the map, or in the listing.
Enough for the block to keep an eye out. Never enough to point a stranger at your door.
This is the rule the resale-board watch is being written against, published while we build it. When a listing looks like your item we bring it to you worded as a possibility, with the reasons laid out. We never message the seller and we never label anyone a thief. The judgement stays yours, and so does the evidence.
Serial numbers and microchip IDs are what prove an item is yours — so they are the first things we lock away. They are stored for you and surface only when you choose to release them. Every conversation happens in-platform; your phone and inbox are never on the wall.
Notices, photos and stored identifiers live on Canadian infrastructure and are governed by Canadian privacy law. Built Canada-first, with a French interface planned.
You can request an export or a deletion from the Privacy Centre at any time. Deletion runs through a reviewed workflow rather than an instant wipe, and records under legal hold, security or backup retention are kept until they lawfully expire — the policy sets out exactly which.
A tip is a lead; what an officer can act on is a record with dates on it. Your notice already holds the case ID, the coarse area, the reported date, the photos and the identifiers you kept private — readable on one page and ready to quote in a report. A one-click downloadable summary is on the roadmap; the panel here shows the fields it would carry.
Nothing is ever sent to police, a seller or anyone else on your behalf
