Privacy Policy for Roadworks Radar
Last updated: 23 November 2025 1. Who we are Roadworks Radar (the “Service”) helps users monitor live and upcoming roadworks along their saved routes and areas. Our website is https://roadworksradar.uk (the “Site”). We are the controller of your personal data when you use the Site and Service. 2. What this policy covers This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use and share it, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018). If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Service. 3. Data we collect Account and identity data • Email address; name (if provided by Google when you sign in); profile image (if you sign in with Google). Usage and service data • Routes/areas you save (including addresses you enter, coordinates, route geometry, and derived H3 cells/centroids used for geospatial matching). • Notification preferences (e.g., evening digest on/off, frequency). • Logs, device and browser information (IP address, user agent) for security and debugging. Payments • We do not store full card details. Subscription billing is processed by our payment provider (currently Stripe). Stripe processes payment data as an independent controller/processor – see their privacy notice. Emails • Transactional emails (magic links, receipts) and digests are sent via our email provider (currently Resend). We store basic delivery metadata. Cookies and similar technologies • Essential cookies for session and authentication; limited analytics and performance logs (no invasive tracking). 4. How we use your data (lawful bases) • Provide and operate the Service (contract) – account creation, route matching, dashboards. • Billing and subscription management (contract) – via Stripe. • Email delivery (contract/legitimate interests) – magic links, receipts, digests you enable. • Security, fraud prevention and service improvement (legitimate interests). • Compliance with law and enforcement requests (legal obligation). 5. Sharing your data We share data only with service providers that help us operate the Service: • Stripe (payments and customer portal) • Resend (email delivery) • MongoDB Atlas (database) • Vercel (hosting) • Mapping/geospatial services used to render maps and compute routes (e.g., Mapbox) Roadworks data comes from third‑party sources (including the UK Department for Transport and local authorities). We do not sell your personal data. 6. Analytics (DataFast) We use DataFast (an analytics provider similar to Google Analytics) to understand how the Site and Service are used (e.g., pages viewed, device/browser, approximate location, on‑site events). Depending on configuration, DataFast may set cookies or collect IP addresses to generate analytics. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before setting non‑essential analytics cookies. You can opt out by rejecting analytics cookies in your browser/banner. Legal basis: our legitimate interests in service improvement and/or your consent (for cookies). DataFast acts as our processor and offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA). We will execute the provider’s DPA where required; see DataFast’s DPA for details (e.g., https://datafa.st/terms or the provider’s DPA page). 7. International transfers Our providers may process data outside the UK. We use providers that implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., UK Addendum to SCCs or equivalent) for international transfers. 8. Retention We keep your account and route data while you have an account and for a reasonable period afterwards, or as required by law. Payment records are retained per tax/legal obligations. You can request deletion of your account data – see Your rights below. 9. Security We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No system is perfectly secure; please keep your sign‑in method secure and report any suspected compromise. 10. Your rights Subject to conditions and exemptions in law, you may have the right to: access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and the right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk) or your local data protection authority. 11. Children The Service is not intended for children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. 12. Changes to this policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will notify you (for example by email or in‑app). Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated policy. 13.
