Privacy Policy for TicketRadar

Last Updated: January 24, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to TicketRadar (hereinafter referred to as "the Application"). We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy is intended to explain what information we collect, use, store, and share when you use our Application, as well as the rights you have regarding your information.

Information We Collect

To provide and optimize our services, we collect the following types of information:

1. Location Information

Precise Location Information: We collect your device's precise geographic location (latitude and longitude). This is essential for the core functionality of the Application.

Purpose of Collection:

• To display your current location on the map

• To calculate the distance between you and traffic alert points

• To filter and display alerts within a 10-mile radius of your location

• (Important) To determine if you have entered a predefined alert zone (default 3 miles, adjustable from 1-10 miles) while the Application is in the background, and to send you relevant push notifications. For this purpose, we request background location access permission

• To reverse geocode your location into street names for more accurate alert information

2. Device & Technical Information

Anonymous Device Identifier: Upon first launch, the Application generates an anonymous Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and stores it in your device's SharedPreferences. This ID cannot be traced back to your personal identity.

Purpose of Collection: To associate your device with its settings (such as alert range) and push notification token, enabling our backend services (Firebase) to function correctly.

Push Notification Token (FCM Token): To send you alert notifications, we collect the registration token generated by the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service.

User Preferences: We collect your in-app alert notification range setting (alertRangeMiles, 1-10 miles) and notification toggle status to provide a personalized experience and accurate notifications.

3. Subscription & Usage Information

Application Install Date: We retrieve your application installation date through system APIs to calculate the 90-day free trial period.

Subscription Status: We verify your subscription status (whether you are an active subscriber) through Google Play Billing service. We do not collect, process, or store any personal payment information related to your Google account, such as your name, credit card number, or billing address. All transactions are securely handled by Google Play.

Daily Usage Limits: We record daily alert submission counts on your device locally (maximum 3 alerts per day for non-subscribers). This information is stored only on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.

4. User-Generated Content

Alert Reporting: When you report an alert, we collect the following information:

• Geographic location (latitude and longitude) of the alert

• Timestamp

• Street name

• Alert type (Parking Meter, Parking Violation, or Street Cleaning)

• Sender's anonymous device ID

This information will be shared with other users to enable the community alert feature. Your personal information will not be directly associated with or displayed to other users with this alert.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Providing Core Services: Displaying maps, alert locations, and calculating distances

• Sending Alert Notifications: Sending you real-time push notifications based on your location and configured alert range

• Managing Trials and Subscriptions: Determining whether you are within the 90-day trial period or have an active subscription to manage access to features

• Trial Period Reminders: Sending you reminder notifications when 60 days, 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day remain in your trial period

• Maintaining and Improving Our Services: Monitoring and analyzing usage trends to improve the functionality and stability of the Application

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We promise not to sell your personal information. We only share your information in the following circumstances:

Third-Party Service Providers:

• Google Firebase: We use Firebase as our backend service, including Firestore Database (for storing device information and alerts) and Firebase Cloud Messaging (for sending push notifications). Your anonymous device information, location, and preferences are stored on the Firebase platform.

• Google Maps: We use the Google Maps SDK to display maps and perform geocoding (converting coordinates to street names).

• Google Play Billing: Used to process subscription payments. All payment information is handled directly by Google.

• Firebase App Check (Play Integrity): Used to verify the authenticity of the Application and prevent unauthorized access.

Community Sharing: Alert information you voluntarily report (location, time, type, and street name) will be displayed to other users of the Application.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or mandatory governmental request.

Data Storage and Security

We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or destruction:

• Your anonymous device ID, subscription status cache, and user preferences are stored in Android's SharedPreferences

• All communication with our backend servers (Firebase) is encrypted (SSL/TLS)

• Subscription purchase verification uses RSA signature validation to ensure transaction security

• Street name cache is periodically cleared of expired data to protect your location history

Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and as permitted by applicable law.

• Alert Data: Only alerts from the current day are displayed; expired data is automatically filtered out

• Device Registration Data: When your trial period ends and you have not subscribed, your device information will be removed from our servers

• Subscription Status Cache: Updated every 24 hours

• Anonymous Device Information and Settings: This information is retained as long as you continue to use the Application. It will be deleted upon your request or when unsubscribing after the trial period ends

Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your information:

Location Information: You can manage location access for the Application at any time through your device's "Settings" > "Apps" > "TicketRadar" > "Permissions" > "Location". You can choose:

• Allow all the time (recommended for full background notification functionality)

• Allow only while using the app

• Deny

Please note that restricting location access will affect the accuracy and timeliness of alert notifications.

Push Notifications: You can manage notifications through:

• The notification toggle in the Application's "Settings" page

• Your device's "Settings" > "Apps" > "TicketRadar" > "Notifications"

Alert Range: You can adjust the alert notification range (1-10 miles) in the Application's "Settings" page.

Data Deletion: If you wish to delete the anonymous information related to your device stored on our servers, please contact us using the contact details below. Alternatively, after uninstalling the Application, your device information will be automatically deleted from our servers when your trial period ends or subscription expires. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable timeframe after verification.

Children's Privacy

This Application is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you within the Application or by other appropriate means. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for the latest information.
