Privacy Policy

Effective: October 3, 2026 · NAD By Jp · northamericandriving.org · Contact: [email protected]

What we collect

Account data: your chosen username, a salted password hash (we never store your password itself), and — if you provide it — your email address, used for verification, password reset and service notices.
Panel telemetry: while the panel runs, we record game state needed to operate the community economy — speed, odometer, wear, enforcement state, positions/route progress, and economy transactions (jobs, purchases, fines).
Linked accounts: if you link Discord or Steam, we store the corresponding account IDs to verify membership and sync roles.
Payments: subscriptions are handled by PayPal. We receive order confirmations and your subscription tier status. We never see or store card or bank details.
Server logs: like most web services, our server and CDN (Cloudflare) may log IP addresses and basic request metadata for security, abuse prevention and operations.

Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising, analytics or third-party tracking cookies. To keep you signed in, the website stores your session token in your browser's local storage (and staff/admin keys for staff tools). This is essential functionality — without it you would have to log in on every page. You can clear it at any time by using your browser's "clear site data" option or by logging out.

How we use data

Operate your account, the panel, the phone screen, the forum and the server-side economy.
Verify eligibility, prevent cheating and enforce fair play (including bans and anti-exploit checks).
Send service messages (verification, password reset, billing or security notices).
Keep the service secure, debug problems, and comply with the law.

What we do NOT do

We do not sell or rent your personal data.
We do not run third-party trackers, ad networks or cross-site profiling.
We do not read your personal files; the panel talks only to this website's API and only with your account token.

Who we share with

Only the providers needed to run the service: PayPal (payments), Discord and Steam (if you link them), and Cloudflare plus our hosting infrastructure (traffic and security). We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the service and its members from abuse. We do not share your data for advertising.

Retention

Account data is kept while your account exists. Telemetry used for the live economy is pruned automatically on a short schedule (about 7 days for raw telemetry; active sessions are cleared after about 7 days of inactivity). Aggregated balances and ownership records remain while your account exists. You can request deletion at any time (see below).

Security

We use HTTPS/TLS and reasonable technical measures to protect data, and access to the backend is restricted. If we ever suffer a breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law, including the Texas data breach notification statute (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §521.053).

Your choices and rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your account information by contacting us at [email protected] from your account email (we may verify your identity before acting). Texas residents have the additional rights provided by the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, including the rights to know/access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of personal data, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale of personal data — we do not engage in either. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To appeal a decision, reply to our response and we will review it.

Children

The service 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 data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date; continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
