Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

NJ Alerts ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect administrative contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses, for the purpose of infrastructure monitoring and operational alerts.

1. Information Collection

We collect contact information (such as administrator names, email addresses, and mobile phone numbers) when it is voluntarily provided through our registration, alert preference, or support forms. Phone numbers are collected only when an administrator chooses to provide them and may optionally be used for SMS alert delivery.

2. SMS Consent & Optionality

SMS alerts are optional. Administrators may register and use non-SMS features of NJ Alerts without providing a phone number or opting in to SMS messaging.

SMS notifications require separate, explicit, and voluntary consent, which is obtained via an optional checkbox on the alert preferences page. Only administrators who actively opt in will receive SMS alerts.

3. Mandatory Carrier Non-Sharing Clause

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

4. Use of Information

Phone numbers are used only to transmit SMS alerts to administrators who have provided consent.

5. Data Retention & Security

Contact information is stored securely and retained only while an active administrative relationship or alert subscription exists. You may request full removal of your contact information by contacting support at admin@nj-alerts.net.

6. Opt-Out & Contact

Administrators may opt out of SMS alerts at any time by replying STOP to any message. Reply HELP for assistance. For questions about this policy or to request data removal, contact Nicholas Justin at admin@nj-alerts.net.
