Privacy Policy

    Last updated: September 24, 2026

    1. Introduction

    NJRadar helps people discover events, local businesses, and editorial content in New Jersey. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

    2. Information We Collect

    • Account information: email address, name or display name (if provided), and profile information returned by Google when you use Google Sign-In.
    • Authentication data: authentication and session information handled through Supabase Auth.
    • User-submitted content: event submissions, profile data, messages, or form responses that you choose to send.
    • Technical data: IP address, browser or device details, logs, and cookies or session data needed for login and security.
    • SMS registration information: mobile number and, if you choose to provide them, your name and email address. We also keep the date, source, and exact disclosure associated with your consent. Joining the SMS list does not create an NJRADAR account.
    • Editorial content: blog and editor content created or managed by NJRadar admins and authors.

    3. Google Sign-In

    If you sign in with Google, NJRadar may receive basic account details such as your name, email address, and profile image, depending on Google's OAuth response. We use this information to create or log in to your NJRadar account and to secure your session.

    4. How We Use Information

    • Create and manage user accounts and login sessions.
    • Provide NJRadar features and event discovery tools.
    • Save user preferences for account features (including planned features).
    • Protect the platform, users, and services from abuse or fraud.
    • Respond to support requests and user messages.
    • Manage subscriptions to the launching-soon NJRADAR weekly event roundup and preserve consent or opt-out records.
    • Improve NJRadar's product experience and reliability.
    • Manage event listings, blog posts, and editorial content.

    5. How We Store and Protect Information

    NJRadar uses Supabase for authentication, database, and file storage, and Vercel for hosting and deployment. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information, but no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

    6. Sharing of Information

    • We do not sell personal information.
    • We may share information with service providers needed to run NJRadar, such as Supabase, Vercel, and Google Sign-In services.
    • We do not share mobile information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. SMS opt-in data and consent are not shared with third parties for those purposes.
    • When SMS messaging launches, service providers may process mobile information only as needed to operate and deliver NJRADAR's messaging program.
    • We may disclose information when required by law or when needed to protect NJRadar, users, or the public.

    7. SMS Choices and Support

    The weekly event roundup is a recurring automated marketing program and is separate from customer-initiated support conversations. It is launching soon; joining now records your subscription but does not mean a message has been sent.

    Once messaging launches, reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Until SMS support is activated, contact support@njradar.com.

    8. Cookies and Sessions

    NJRadar uses cookies, local storage, and session storage as needed for authentication, account sessions, security, and core app functionality.

    9. Third-Party Links and Event Listings

    NJRadar may link to third-party event pages, venues, ticketing platforms, organizers, and other websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third parties, not NJRadar.

    10. User Rights and Choices

    • You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data where applicable.
    • If you used Google Sign-In, you can stop using it and revoke app access through your Google Account settings.
    • You can contact NJRadar with privacy requests.
    • Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under New Jersey or other applicable law.

    11. Data Retention

    NJRadar keeps personal data only as long as needed to operate the app, maintain security, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce terms. If deletion is requested, we will delete data where legally and technically possible.

    12. Children's Privacy

    NJRadar is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

    13. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
