Privacy
Lodestar Stamp is a dated public-record receipt on named businesses. Assistants and people read it before they book, call, or pay. We publish dated facts. We do not approve bookings. Payment never touches the record.
What we operate
The Trust API and MCP tools are read-only. Callers look up receipts; they do not write the record through those interfaces. Public receipts and docs are meant to be read.
What is on the record
Receipts show business identity facts drawn from public sources (for example: whether the business appears real, at that address, licensed, and — when the city publishes it — inspection). Each field carries a source and verified-on / expires-on dates when we have checked it. Fields we have not checked say so.
What we do not sell
Nothing on the receipt is for sale. We do not sell receipt data, grades, or placement on the record. Payment never changes what the receipt says.
Payments
Card payments for Watching (and related paid products) are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on Lodestar systems. Stripe’s privacy terms apply to payment processing.
If you watch a business or write us, we use watch@lodestarstamp.com (and related Lodestar Stamp mail) to send Watching notices and operational replies. We do not use that mailbox for unrelated marketing blasts.
Logs and operators
Like most web services, our hosts may keep standard request logs (time, path, IP, user agent) to keep the service working and secure. Lodestar Stamp is operated by Banjo Ventures.
Product measurement
We use PostHog, hosted in the United States, to understand use of the site and receipts, checkout completion, and service reliability. We send selected events and operational counts. Browser journeys use an existing identifier stored in local storage; an identifier may accompany checkout so we can connect the journey with payment and delivery outcomes. Identifiers sent to PostHog are pseudonymous. We do not send email addresses, message contents, business names, or raw caller identifiers through this event integration.
Error reporting
When enabled, Sentry receives normalized service error categories, response status, environment, and software release identifiers. This integration does not send request bodies, customer email addresses, message contents, or raw error messages and stack traces.
Retention and choices
Our product-measurement integration honors browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Operational error reporting and essential hosting logs are separate. Analytics and error data are subject to the providers’ configured retention settings. Contact watch@lodestarstamp.com about access or deletion requests. We do not record browser sessions through these integrations.
