You

Your account.

A claim issues a six-digit code once, and today the only copy of yours is in the browser you claimed from. Signing in reads it back out of the claim itself, on any device.

What we see about you

Signing in tells this site one thing: that you can read mail sent to the address you gave. That address, and an account id Privy issues to go with it, is all we get — there is no Google or X account attached, because an emailed code is the only way in. We do not keep an account record of our own; there is no users table here. Your email is stored in one place, on the claims you have already made, because a claim has always needed one.

There is not much waiting behind the sign-in. No card has been bought, redeemed or shipped, and signing in does not change where you stand — the proof page keeps the running count of what has actually happened. The practice claim on the drop map works today and issues a real receipt with no physical prize behind it.

Why signing in is the point

A pickup code is shown once, in a dialog. A claim now writes you a receipt carrying that code, but there is no mail provider account behind this project yet, so the receipt is recorded rather than sent and no email has gone out. The browser keeps a copy in local storage, which is per-browser and per-device: a private window, cleared site data or a new phone and that copy is gone. The claim row itself never went anywhere, and this page is what reads it back.

It matches on email, though, not on your account id. Claims predate sign-in here and the claim form still asks for an address, so a claim made under a different address will not appear above. Use the same address you sign in with when you claim and it will.

The claim form does not check that the address typed into it belongs to whoever is typing, so the reverse holds too: if somebody else enters your address, their claim is listed here. That is a real gap and it is worth knowing about before it matters. It is why this page never returns a postal address on the strength of an email match, even after sign-in. Only the private key saved with the winning browser’s receipt can unlock one. The pickup code shown to the host cannot unlock a home address either.

Where your cards get posted

A claim asks for no postal address. It happens while you are standing at the drop with the phone in your hand, and every extra field there is one more way to fail a claim you already earned — so the question comes after, once the win is yours. Until it is answered there is a card with nowhere to go.

Add or change it from the address panel attached to the receipt in the browser that made the claim. That receipt holds a private key which never appears on this account page or at the host desk. Every version is kept rather than overwritten until you delete it — a label may already have been printed from the old one. What we do with it, and who else ever sees it, is on the privacy page.
