Who we are
Passport NWA is a restaurant loyalty platform serving Northwest Arkansas, operated from Bentonville, AR. Contact: hello@passportnwa.com.
What we collect
- Account info you give us: email, username, display name, phone number, bio, avatar
- Activity on the app: check-ins (stamps), posts, photo uploads, receipts, rewards redeemed, companions
- Device and session data: IP address, browser, timestamps (for security and anti-abuse)
- If you sign up as a restaurant owner: business name, EIN, role, contact phone, and a verification document
Why we require a phone number: account security, recovery, anti-fraud, and future two-factor authentication. We also use it to send service messages (receipt updates, redemption confirmations). We do not send marketing texts unless you've separately opted in.
How we use it
- To run your account and show your passport, stamps, and posts to you and other travelers
- To verify restaurant owners and prevent fraud
- To send transactional emails (account, receipt review outcomes, redemption confirmations) — these cannot be turned off while you have an account
- To send marketing emails or texts only if you've opted in. You can change this anytime in Settings.
- To improve the product (aggregate analytics only; we never sell individual data)
Who sees what
- Public: your username, display name, avatar, bio, stamps, public posts, companions count, points
- Private: your email, phone number, payment info, uploaded receipts, verification documents
- Restaurants you visit see aggregated check-in data and — for receipts you submit — your username and uploaded receipt image
Third parties
We use these vendors to run the service:
- Supabase — database, auth, file storage
- Vercel — web hosting
- Resend — email delivery
- Google Places — restaurant data
We don't sell your data to anyone.
Your choices
- Turn marketing emails or texts on/off anytime in Settings
- One-click unsubscribe from any marketing email
- Delete your account anytime — we'll remove your profile, check-ins, posts, and photos within 30 days
- Request a copy of your data: email hello@passportnwa.com
