Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 7, 2026

1. Introduction

The RAD Network ("we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of our members and is committed to protecting the information provided through The RAD Network Members website and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to members.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use the Platform and which features you choose to participate in.

3. Location Information

Certain RAD Network features may use location information.

For example, location-based games, scavenger hunts, challenges, or check-in features may ask your device for its current geographic location to determine whether you are within a designated area.

Location information may be used to:

  • Determine whether a member is within a designated geofence

  • Prevent fraudulent or inaccurate check-ins

  • Support location-specific contests or experiences

You can deny location permission through your browser or device settings. However, doing so may prevent certain location-based features from working.
