At Retiree on the Go (referred to as "we", "us", or "our"), we are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors and subscribers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information in compliance with standard consumer protection guidelines, CCPA, and CAN-SPAM regulations.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Voluntary Subscriber Data: When you sign up for our weekly "On the Go" newsletter, we collect your email address and name. We operate a strict Double-Opt-In confirmation process to prevent unauthorized registrations.
• Contact Inquiries: When you submit a partnership, listing request, or support inquiry via our contact form, we collect your Name, Email, Phone Number (optional), Inquiry Type, and message content.
• Browser-Based Local Storage: To maximize user privacy and accessibility, your favorited activities, customized weekly schedules, language choices, and font size preferences are stored 100% locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Automated Abuse Prevention Logs: Our hosting servers automatically log standard network metadata (such as IP addresses, user agents, and submission timestamps) purely to enforce rate limits, block malicious scraping scripts, and prevent system abuse.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Deliver the weekly Charlotte Metro newsletter digests.
• Respond directly to your partnership proposals, listing suggestions, or support requests.
• Monitor API endpoints to block automated spambots and ensure platform stability.

3. Data Security and Third-Party Sharing

We implement a robust, industry-grade security system. All communication is encrypted via secure HTTPS protocols (SSL/TLS). Subscriber database storage is maintained on protected databases. We will never sell, lease, trade, or distribute your email address or form details to any third-party advertisers, brokers, or external entities.

4. Opt-Out and Rights to Deletion

Every newsletter we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link pointing to UNSUBSCRIBE_LINK_PLACEHOLDER. If you unsubscribe, your email is permanently flagged as inactive and removed from our active distribution lists. Under CCPA/GDPR guidelines, you may request full erasure of your contact records at any time by contacting us.

5. Children's Privacy

Our website is a directory targeted toward active retirees and seniors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 13 years of age, in accordance with COPPA.

6. Contact Information

For any privacy-related inquiries, data requests, or issues, please email us directly at: [email protected].
