Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 6, 2026
Who we are
Union Current is operated by Alexander White ("we," "us," or "our"). This policy describes information handling through the Union Current app and website at https://www.union-current.com. Contact unioncurrentapp@gmail.com with privacy questions.
Union Current is an independent member community, not an official union service. App administrators review union-affiliation verification and challenge-coin submissions.
Information you provide
Account information includes your email address, account identifier and authentication information needed to create, secure and manage your account. Authentication is handled through our service provider.
Profile information may include your display name, photo, trade or classification, subtitle, home local, working local, journeyman year and work interests. Details you choose to share may be visible to other members.
Community information includes posts, comments, direct messages, connections, photos and reports you submit. Posts are visible in the areas where shared. Messages are available to recipients, who may copy or retain them.
Verification and awards: We process your application details, union member number where provided, proof images and review decisions. Proof images are intended for you and authorized administrators. Approved status and the submitted member number may appear on your profile. Earned coins you choose to display may appear on member profiles. Submit only necessary proof, and avoid government identification or unrelated sensitive information.
Saved account content may include job calls, cloud Notebook notes and attachments, comparisons, travel plans, alert preferences and calendar events. Free Job Notepad notes are stored on the device rather than synced to your account.
Support information includes contact details, messages and attachments you send when requesting help.
Technical information and permissions
We and our service providers process technical information needed to operate and protect the service, which may include IP addresses, device/browser details, request logs, authentication tokens and error information. Push delivery uses a device token associated with your account.
Camera, photo and file access is used when you choose to capture or upload content. Notification permission supports alerts and reminders. Change permissions in your device settings; disabling notifications can prevent reminders. Uploaded photos and files may contain metadata.
Nearby lodging sends the published jobsite address or city and state to Google Maps services. This feature does not request your current GPS location. External maps or directions follow the receiving provider’s settings and policy.
How we use information
We use information to authenticate accounts; provide profiles and connections; deliver messages, alerts and reminders; store and display content; support job discovery and planning; review verification and award submissions; administer Pro access; respond to support requests; investigate abuse; maintain security; troubleshoot; and meet applicable legal obligations.
Union-affiliation proof is used for requested verification features, not as a replacement for a union’s membership or dispatch records.
Subscriptions and payments
Subscription purchasing is currently being configured. When Pro purchasing is enabled, Apple processes iOS subscription payments. RevenueCat validates and restores purchases and determines active Pro access. Information may include your app account identifier, product and transaction identifiers, purchase/renewal dates, expiration/refund information, subscription status and related technical information processed by these providers.
We do not receive your full payment-card number from Apple in-app checkout. Deleting an app account does not cancel an Apple subscription; manage or cancel through Apple subscription settings.
Who receives information
Other members receive profile details and content you share or publish in member areas. Authorized administrators may access information needed for support, moderation, verification and award review. Saving private content does not itself publish it to other members.
Providers include Supabase for authentication, database and file storage; Apple for app distribution, payments and push delivery; RevenueCat for subscription management when enabled; Cloudflare for configured security/verification services; Google Maps Platform for lodging/mapping; and Wix for website hosting/services.
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process, protect people or the service, investigate fraud or abuse, or carry out a business transfer subject to appropriate protections. We may also share at your direction.
Union Current does not display third-party advertisements or use app analytics tools to track member activity. We do not sell personal information or share it with other companies for advertising. We use service providers to process information needed to operate the service, as described above.
Cookies and device storage
The app uses device storage for functionality such as sessions, preferences and on-device notes. Clearing browser or app storage may remove locally stored content.
We have not enabled website analytics, advertising pixels or other optional tracking integrations. Wix hosts this website and its images and videos, and may process technical information and use cookies or similar technologies needed for hosting, security and media delivery.
You can manage or clear cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies or device storage may affect website functionality.
Your choices and requests
Use available app controls to edit profile details and sharing preferences, choose displayed coins, manage saved content and remove supported proof images. Removing proof images does not necessarily remove an already approved status or award. Notification permissions can be changed on your device.
Request account deletion using the app’s account-deletion control, where available, or contact unioncurrentapp@gmail.com. We may verify your identity before acting. If deletion fails, contact us so we can investigate and complete the request.
Depending on your location and applicable law, rights may include access, correction, deletion, a copy of information, restriction or objection to certain processing, and withdrawal of consent. Contact us to exercise applicable rights. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing. You may also have a right to complain to a relevant privacy regulator.
Retention and deletion
We retain information as needed to provide requested features, maintain accounts, address support/security issues and meet applicable legal obligations. Retention depends on the information, purpose and legal requirements.
The account-deletion process is designed to remove your login, profile, saved account content, authored discussion posts, messages involving your account, connections, calendar records, notification/device records, and verification and award records. It first removes profile photos, beta screenshots, union-verification proofs, hall-visit proofs and cloud Notebook attachments from our storage. If cleanup fails, the app reports that deletion was not completed; please retry or contact us.
Shared discussion threads and administrative information such as published calls may remain after the creator or publisher account reference is removed. Copies independently saved by recipients and device-only notes or unsent content on other devices may remain.
Deleting your app account does not automatically delete your RevenueCat customer record. Contact unioncurrentapp@gmail.com to request assistance with subscription-data deletion. Apple and other providers may retain records under their own policies. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription.
We use daily Supabase database backups. Our current Supabase Pro plan provides a seven-day daily-backup window; deleted database information may remain in those backups until they expire. These database backups do not include uploaded storage files. This window is not a guarantee that every provider record, log or separately retained copy is deleted within seven days.
Under our standard Supabase Pro setup, platform operational logs are retained for seven days. We do not use Point-in-Time Recovery or a separate backup service.
Support emails and their attachments currently have no scheduled deletion period and are retained indefinitely unless manually deleted. Deleting your app account does not automatically delete support correspondence. Contact unioncurrentapp@gmail.com to request deletion of support correspondence; we may retain information where needed to meet applicable legal obligations or resolve disputes.
Security and processing locations
We use access controls and service-provider security features to help protect information. No system guarantees absolute security. Protect your credentials and avoid storing highly sensitive information unless appropriate for the service.
Information may be processed where we or providers operate, including the United States. Protections may differ by country. Our Supabase project is hosted in North Virginia, United States (us-east-1). Other providers may process information in other locations under their own policies.
Children
Union Current is intended for a professional trade community. Union Current is offered to users in the United States only at launch. The minimum age to use Union Current is 17. The service is not intended for anyone under 17. Contact unioncurrentapp@gmail.com if you believe a child’s information has been provided improperly.
Third-party services
When you follow external hall, property, map, payment or other links, that provider’s policy applies to its own processing. Review it before sharing information. Google Maps features are subject to Google’s terms and privacy policy, linked below.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as features or practices change. The effective date identifies the current version. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes.
