Privacy Policy

Overview

Road Alert provides driver awareness alerts for road reports, official road alerts, fixed safety camera awareness, and weigh station approach alerts. This policy explains what information the app may collect and how it is used.

Information the app may collect

Road Alert may collect location data, report coordinates, report type, report text, timestamps, feedback messages, moderation status, app region, and basic service logs needed to operate and protect the service.

Location data

Road Alert uses location data to compare your device position with nearby alert locations. Background location may be used so alerts can work when the app is closed or not in use. When you submit a report, the report location may be sent to Road Alert so other drivers can be warned.

Reports and feedback

Community reports and feedback messages may be reviewed by Road Alert operations. Reports may be moderated, archived, removed, corrected, or used to improve alert quality.

How information is used

Information is used to provide road alerts, sync community reports, moderate content, improve report locations, respond to support requests, maintain service reliability, and protect against misuse.

Sharing

Road Alert does not sell personal data. Information may be processed by service providers used to host, operate, secure, or monitor the Road Alert service. Information may also be disclosed if required by law.

Official data sources

Road Alert may display information derived from official or public road data sources. Road Alert NZ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by NZTA, Waka Kotahi, Police, transport agencies, councils, or any government agency.

Retention and deletion

Road Alert keeps information only as long as reasonably needed for service operation, moderation, safety, support, analytics, legal, or security purposes. Privacy questions or deletion requests can be sent to roadalertnz@gmail.com.

Children

Road Alert is not directed at children. The app is intended for road users who can legally and safely use driver awareness tools.

Changes

This policy may be updated as Road Alert develops. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version.
