Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 27, 2026

WalkOnAlerts ("we", "us", "our") operates the WalkOnAlerts mobile application. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

Device information. When you open the app, we generate a random device identifier and authentication token. These are not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, or any personal account. We also store your device platform (iOS or Android).

Push notification token. If you enable notifications, your device's push token (provided by Apple or Google) is stored on our servers so we can send you ride alerts. This token is not personally identifiable.

Location data. When you grant location permission, the app reads your GPS coordinates to determine which theme park you are in and to calculate walking times to rides. Your coordinates are sent to our server with API requests but are not stored in our database. Location is used only in real time and discarded after the response is sent.

Notification preferences. Your alert settings (which notification tiers are enabled, minimum downtime threshold, and which parks you subscribe to) are stored on our servers and linked to your device identifier.

Purchase status. If you purchase a Day Pass, Trip Pass, or Annual Pass, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple or Google. We never receive your payment details. We do store your subscription type and expiration date, linked to your device identifier, so we can verify your access.

Information We Do Not Collect

• No name, email address, or personal account information
• No payment or financial information (purchases are handled entirely by Apple/Google)
• No contacts, photos, or other device data
• No browsing history or advertising identifiers
• No tracking across other apps or websites

How We Use Your Information

• Send push notifications when rides reopen at parks you subscribe to
• Calculate walk times from your current location to rides in the park
• Detect your park so we can show relevant ride data automatically
• Respect your preferences for which alert types you want to receive

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties. Period.

Our servers communicate with Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver your ride alerts, and with Apple App Store / Google Play Billing APIs to verify purchases. No other third-party services receive your data.

Data Retention

Your device registration and preferences are retained as long as you use the app. Notification delivery logs (which alerts were sent to your device) are retained for up to 90 days for debugging and deduplication purposes, then deleted.

If you delete the app, your push token becomes invalid and you will stop receiving notifications. You may request deletion of your device registration by contacting us at the email below.

Data Security

All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS encryption. Device authentication uses a randomly generated secret token that is stored securely on your device and never displayed or shared.

Children's Privacy

WalkOnAlerts does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app does not require any personal information to use.

Your Choices

• Location: You can deny or revoke location permission at any time in your device settings. The app will still work but cannot calculate walk times or auto-detect your park.
• Notifications: You can disable push notifications in your device settings or within the app's preferences screen.
• Data deletion: Contact us to request removal of your device registration and all associated data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
