Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 2, 2026
CarryAwareNJ (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) provides situational awareness tools for users in New Jersey, including location-based alerts and user-reported information.
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how it is used.
1. Information We Collect
Location Data
CarryAwareNJ uses your device’s location to provide proximity-based alerts for restricted or sensitive locations.
- If you grant “Always” location permission, the app may access your location in the background to deliver timely alerts when you approach relevant locations.
- We do not store or retain your historical location data.
User-Submitted Content
If you submit a location or report, we may collect location details, including address or coordinates, and optional notes or comments. This data is stored in Firebase Firestore and may be visible to other users.
Device & Usage Data
We may collect limited diagnostic and usage data through Firebase, including app performance information, crash logs, and basic usage analytics.
Contact Information
If you use the feedback email feature, your email and message are sent through your email provider. We do not separately store this information.
2. Authentication
CarryAwareNJ currently uses anonymous authentication. Future versions may include Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In.

- Respond to user feedback and support requests
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
- User-submitted reports may be visible to other users of the app.
- We use Firebase (Google) to store and process application data.
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard tools and services to help protect information. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Choices
