Privacy
This policy covers the Hidden Post Finder website and the Android app published as com.hiddenpostfinder.app.
Website search
The search box runs in your browser. When you choose Find Posts, the page builds a Google query,
site:reddit.com /username/, and opens google.com/search in a new tab.
That username is not sent to a Hidden Post Finder server. The address bar on this site may keep
?u= so you can see what you typed. That value stays in your browser.
The site is static files on Firebase Hosting. Google’s hosting logs can include the usual request data, such as IP address and browser type. The website does not use an account, and the public pages do not set analytics cookies.
Android app
The app searches the same public Google results. It can store a short search history and saved usernames on the phone. That list is not uploaded as part of the app’s analytics. You can remove items in the app.
After the first search, the free app may show an ad before another search. Ads are served by Google AdMob
(publisher pub-8897968411496518). AdMob can use an advertising identifier under Google’s own policies.
Firebase Analytics receives a few event names only: search started, search completed, search failed, rewarded ad completed, and rewarded ad skipped. Those events are sent without the Reddit username and without the search text.
The app can schedule two local reminders, on Wednesday and Saturday evening, using the phone’s clock. Those notifications are created on the device. They are not push messages from a server.
What this tool does not do
- It does not ask you to sign in to Reddit.
- It does not read private messages, chat, or non-public accounts.
- It does not promise to restore deleted posts. It only opens public search results.
Children
Hidden Post Finder is not directed at children under 13.
