Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026

This policy explains what information Discover Old Florida, LLC (“Discover Old Florida,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers both the Discover Old Florida mobile app (iOS and Android) and our website at discoveroldflorida.com. We keep it plain-English on purpose. If anything is unclear, email us at hello@discoveroldflorida.com.

The short version

  • We collect only what we need to run your account, the map, check-ins, loyalty, and events.
  • We use your precise location only at the moment you check in at a venue — never continuously, never in the background, and we never sell it.
  • Photos and reviews you post are public and are reviewed by our team before or after they appear.
  • We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t use it for third-party advertising.
  • The mobile app contains no analytics or tracking SDKs. Our website uses Google Analytics.

Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a display name. You can optionally add a profile photo. We use a secure authentication provider (Supabase) to manage sign-in.

Content you share

You can post reviews (a rating, optional text, and optional photos) and photos to a partner’s timeline. This content is public — it can appear in the app and on partner pages on this website, alongside your display name. Our team moderates submissions, and we may hide or remove content that breaks our guidelines. You can delete content you’ve posted.

Check-ins and location

When you check in at a participating venue, the app reads your device’s precise location a single time, at that moment, to confirm you’re actually there. We store a record of that check-in (including the location reading and the points awarded) to run the loyalty program and to prevent abuse. We do not track your location continuously, we do not collect location in the background, and we do not sell location data. The app also shows your position on the map while you have it open; that happens on your device and isn’t stored.

Loyalty and redemptions

We keep your points balance, check-in history, and reward redemptions so the loyalty program works and so you and participating businesses can see what’s been redeemed.

Notifications

Push notifications are opt-in. If you allow them, we store a device push token so we can send the alerts you’ve chosen. You control which types you receive (for example event reminders and area news) in the app, and you can turn push off any time in the app or your device settings.

Email

We send transactional emails related to your account and activity (for example sign-in and account messages). If you opt in, we also send an occasional newsletter. We use Brevo to deliver email. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter any time using the link in any newsletter or by emailing us — transactional messages continue as needed to operate your account.

Website analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics 4, which sets cookies and identifiers to help us understand how the site is used (for example which pages are popular). The mobile app does not include any analytics or tracking software.

Information collected automatically

Like most online services, our servers keep basic technical logs (such as IP address and device or browser type) to operate the service, keep it secure, and diagnose problems.

How we use your information

  • Create and manage your account and profile.
  • Show the map, partner pages, events, and content you and others post.
  • Verify check-ins and award loyalty points.
  • Send notifications and emails you’ve chosen to receive.
  • Moderate content and keep the community and service safe.
  • Measure and improve how our website is used.
  • Meet legal, security, and fraud-prevention obligations.

How your information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited ways:

  • Service providers who run parts of our service on our behalf: Supabase (hosting, database, authentication, and photo storage), Brevo (email delivery), and Google Analytics (website usage measurement). They may only process your data to provide their service to us.
  • Publicly, by your choice — reviews, photos, and your display name that you post are visible to anyone in the app and on this website.
  • Legal reasons — if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Discover Old Florida.

Data retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. Content you post stays until you or we remove it. Check-in and loyalty records are kept while your account is active so the program works. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information, except where we need to keep limited records to comply with the law.

Deleting your account

You can delete content you’ve posted at any time in the app. To delete your entire account and the personal information associated with it, email us at hello@discoveroldflorida.com from the email address on your account, and we will delete it within 30 days. We are also adding a self-service account-deletion option directly in the app.

Your privacy choices

  • View and update your profile in the app.
  • Turn push notifications on or off, and choose which types you receive.
  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter any time.
  • Delete content you’ve posted, or request account deletion (above).

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. To make a request, email us at hello@discoveroldflorida.com.

Children’s privacy

Discover Old Florida is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, email us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Where your data is processed

Discover Old Florida, LLC operates in the United States, and your information is processed and stored there.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and significant changes will be reflected here.
