Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Jet Mobile App ("Jet", "we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website at https://www.jet-around.com/. Please read this policy carefully. By using Jet, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

2.1 Information You Provide

• Account Information: Email address, display name, profile picture, and optional bio. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address, name, and profile image from Google.
• Profile Data: Birthdate (used for age verification), gender, pronouns (optional)
• Social Links: Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook URLs (optional)
• Preferences: Taste categories (food, drinks, nightlife, events), notification settings, location settings, and profile visibility settings
• User Content: Saved favorites, direct messages and images you send to other users, and connection (crew) requests
• Search Activity: Venue and deal searches you run in the app

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Location Data: Precise GPS location (only when you grant permission) to show nearby deals and venues and to power the live activity map
• Approximate Location: If you decline precise location, we may derive an approximate city-level location from your network/IP address so the map can open somewhere useful
• Device and Browser Information: Device and browser type, operating system, and app/session identifiers
• Usage Data: Screens viewed, features used, deals and venues tapped, search queries, and interaction timestamps
• Push Subscriptions and Tokens: Web push subscription endpoints and native device tokens used to deliver notifications, plus delivery receipts (sent, delivered, opened)

2.3 Data Linked to You

The following data may be linked to your identity:

• Contact Info (email)
• Location (precise and approximate location)
• User Content (favorites, messages, images, profile content)
• Identifiers (user ID, device/push identifiers)
• Usage Data (app interactions, search history)
• Purchases (subscription status; card details are handled by Stripe and never reach our servers)

3. How We Use Your Information

• Core Functionality: Display nearby deals, venues, and personalized recommendations
• Location-Based Services: Show deals on the map, and send proximity alerts when you enter an area around a venue with an active special (geofencing), if you enable them
• Aggregated Activity Maps: Combine location points from many users into the heatmap and flow-path layers that show where activity is concentrated
• Push Notifications: Alert you about updates to your favorite venues and deals, connection requests, new messages, and account or service notices
• Social and Messaging: Let you find discoverable users, send and receive connection requests, and exchange direct messages and images
• Subscriptions: Provision paid tiers and confirm entitlement through our payment processor
• Analytics: Understand usage patterns to improve the app experience (first-party only; no advertising networks)
• Communication: Send service updates, respond to inquiries
• Safety & Security: Detect fraud, enforce terms, protect users

4. Location Data

Location data is central to the Jet experience. Here is how we handle it:

• Purpose: Show deals near you, display your position on the map, send location-based deal alerts
• Collection: Only when you grant location permission; you control this in your device settings
• Background Location: If enabled, we may collect location in the background to send proximity alerts for nearby deals
• Precision: We collect precise location for accurate map display. Points are smoothed and rate-limited before storage, and coordinates are obfuscated (reduced in precision) after 7 days
• Aggregation Safeguard: Heatmap cells and flow-path segments shown to other users are only rendered when enough distinct users contribute to them (a minimum of three), so individual movement is not exposed. Your own recent activity remains visible to you.
• Retention: Precise location history is retained for up to 30 days to power live features. After 30 days, points are moved to a historical archive used for trend analysis and are no longer used for live display.
• Opt-Out: You can disable location sharing at any time in your device settings or in the app's location settings. Turning it off stops new collection; existing points age out on the schedule above.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Third parties that help us operate the app (hosting, analytics, email delivery)
• Other Users: Your display name, avatar, and bio may be visible to other users if you enable discoverability, and are visible to users you have connected with regardless of that setting. Messages and images you send are visible to their recipients.
• Aggregated Data: De-identified, aggregated activity data (such as heatmap density) that does not identify you individually
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

6. Third-Party Services

Jet uses the following third-party services:

• Mapbox: Map display and geocoding (Privacy Policy)
• Google Places: Venue information and images (Privacy Policy)
• Supabase: Authentication and data storage (Privacy Policy)
• Stripe: Payment processing for subscriptions (Privacy Policy)
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google): Delivery of native push notifications (Privacy Policy)
• Browser Push Services: Web push notifications are relayed by your browser vendor's push service (for example Google, Apple, or Mozilla)
• Resend: Transactional and verification email delivery (Privacy Policy)
• Google Sign-In: Optional authentication provider (Privacy Policy)

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.

7. Data Retention

• Account Data: Retained while your account is active; deleted within 30 days of an account deletion request
• Precise Location History: Retained up to 30 days for live features, with coordinates obfuscated after 7 days
• Archived Location Data: After 30 days, location points are moved to a historical archive used for aggregate trend analysis
• Messages and Images: Retained until deleted by a participant or until the account is deleted
• Notification Records: Delivery and read receipts retained to power your in-app Alerts inbox and to prevent duplicate sends
• Search History: Retained for your account until you clear it or delete your account
• Analytics and Security Logs: Retained for a limited period to improve the service, enforce rate limits, and investigate abuse

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information:

• Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Row-level security policies for database access
• Automated security scanning of our code and dependencies
• Rate limiting and audit logging on sensitive endpoints
• Access controls limiting employee access to personal data

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Tracking and Advertising

Jet does not track you across other apps or websites for advertising purposes. We do not use the Apple IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) or participate in ad networks. Analytics data is used solely to improve the Jet app experience.

11. Push Notifications

If you enable push notifications, we collect your device token to send you:

• Deal alerts when you are near participating venues
• Friend requests and social activity
• Important account and service updates

You can disable push notifications at any time in your device settings or the app.

11a. Messaging and Social Features

Direct messages and images you send are stored so they can be delivered and displayed in your conversation history. They are visible to you and the recipient, and to our staff only where necessary to investigate abuse, comply with law, or operate the service.

• Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share sensitive information such as payment details or government identifiers.
• Your profile is shown in discovery only when discoverability is enabled; users you have connected with can always see your profile.
• Deleting your account removes your profile from discovery and deletes your messages from your account.

11b. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and browser storage (localStorage, sessionStorage, and a service worker cache) to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and dismissed prompts, cache map assets for performance, and support offline behavior. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can clear this data through your browser settings, though doing so will sign you out and reset your preferences.

11c. Connected Applications

If you authorize a third-party application to connect to your JET account, that application receives only the access you approve at the time of authorization. You can revoke access at any time from your account settings or by contacting us. We are not responsible for how an authorized third-party application uses data you permit it to access.

12. Children's Privacy

Jet is intended for users 18 years of age and older. The app surfaces venues and specials that may involve alcohol; alcohol may only be purchased and consumed by persons of legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected data from anyone under 18, we will delete it promptly.

13. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international transfers in compliance with applicable law.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the app and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Jet after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
