Scope
This policy covers USBorderWait.com, TiemposDeGarita.com, Border Times wait cards, public APIs, alerts, newsletters, advertiser forms, private business areas, and support contacts.
Privacy Policy
How USBorderWait.com handles traveler alerts, forms, advertising, wait cards, analytics, payments, push notices, and account data.
Information you provide
We collect information you choose to submit, such as email address, phone number, alert threshold, newsletter signup, contact message, business profile, advertiser copy, billing selection, and support details.
Crossing data
Waits, lanes, weather, traffic, history, maps, and local guidance are public traveler information. They are not private user records and may be indexed, summarized, embedded, or shared with attribution.
Device and usage data
We may process IP address, browser, device, page URL, referrer, timestamps, cookie or session values, public session identifiers, event type, and rough location signals needed for region selection, security, analytics, and abuse prevention.
Alerts and push notices
Alert recipients and push subscription keys are used for requested notices, verification, delivery, frequency limits, unsubscribe, STOP handling, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention. Web push requires browser permission and can be disabled in the browser.
Advertising analytics
Sponsored placements may record impressions, clicks, calls, WhatsApp clicks, coupon views, page context, package selection, and aggregated performance reports. Sponsor reporting should use aggregate or business-relevant metrics, not raw personal contact lists.
Payments
Payments and subscriptions are handled by payment providers such as Stripe. We store business, package, subscription, invoice, customer, and webhook identifiers needed to operate billing, but we do not store full card numbers.
Cookies and local storage
We use cookies or similar storage for sessions, language, preferences, analytics, forms, rate limits, security, push notification state, and private account access.
Cookie policyService providers
We may share data with vendors that help run hosting, tunnels, databases, email, SMS, WhatsApp, push notifications, payment processing, fraud prevention, analytics, logging, support, and security. They should use data only for assigned service work.
No sale of alert lists
We do not sell alert recipient lists. If future advertising or analytics activity counts as a sale or sharing under a privacy law, we will provide required opt-out controls before using it that way.
Retention
Records are kept as long as needed for service delivery, legal compliance, security, audits, billing, disputes, tax records, product improvement, and abuse prevention. We may aggregate, de-identify, or delete older records when they are no longer needed.
Your choices
You can stop alerts, unsubscribe from email, deny browser push permission, clear cookies, avoid optional forms, and request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection when law grants those rights.
Privacy rightsChildren
The service is intended for general travelers and local businesses, not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Security
We use separate public and private areas, signed sessions, rate limits, provider webhooks, audit logs, and limited data collection where practical. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.
Security policyChanges
We may update this policy as features, providers, legal requirements, or business operations change. Continued use after an update means the updated policy applies.
Contact
Send privacy, correction, deletion, security, or advertising questions through contact. We may need to verify requests before disclosing or changing account data.
