Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-03

We collect the minimum data required to operate the valet ticketing and tipping experience. We don’t sell your personal information.

What we collect

  • Ticket info you or staff enter (name, vehicle info, ticket number, status).
  • Contact info if you choose SMS (phone number in E.164 format).
  • Payment metadata for tipping/charges (handled by our payment processor).
  • Basic usage logs for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.

How we use it

  • Create and manage valet tickets.
  • Send ticket links by SMS when enabled.
  • Process tips and update ticket balances.
  • Support staff operations (status updates, checkout, receipts).
  • Detect fraud/abuse and keep the system stable.

SMS / text messages

  • If a ticket is created in phone mode, we may text the guest a ticket link.
  • Message delivery depends on the carrier and may fail or be delayed.
  • You can opt out by replying STOP (where supported).
  • We store message status (queued/sent/delivered/failed) for auditing and debugging.

Payments

  • Card payments are processed by our payment processor (e.g., Stripe).
  • We do not store full card numbers.
  • We may store payment IDs, status, and amounts for receipts and reconciliation.

Sharing

  • We share data with service providers only to operate the app (SMS + payments + hosting).
  • We may disclose information if required by law or to prevent fraud/abuse.
  • We don’t sell personal information.

Retention

  • We retain ticket and payment-related records for operational and accounting needs.
  • We may retain logs for security and troubleshooting.
  • If a property requests deletion, we’ll follow applicable requirements and constraints.

Security

  • We use access controls and audit trails.
  • No system is perfect — but we aim for practical, modern security standards.

Your choices

  • Use manual mode to avoid SMS.
  • Request a copy or deletion where applicable.
  • If you’re a property/operator, you control what you enter on tickets.
