About the platform
SpotMyLost is a community-driven lost and found platform designed to help people report found items, search for lost belongings, and connect directly with each other. The platform acts only as a facilitator for sharing information and does not take possession of, verify, or handle any lost or found items.

- Post only items that you have genuinely lost or found.
- Avoid sharing sensitive personal data publicly (such as full ID numbers, bank details, or passwords).
- Update or remove your report once the item has been recovered or is no longer relevant.
SpotMyLost reserves the right to remove any report that appears false, misleading, suspicious, or in violation of these terms.
