Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2026
Dibs on Dirt, a service operated by Steven Christopher Vazquez, a sole proprietor doing business as CampWatch ("we," "us," or "our"), operates the campsite availability alert service at dibsondirt.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
What we collect
We collect only what's needed to run the alert service:
- Email address — required to send you campsite availability alerts.
- Mobile phone number — Dibs on Dirt does not currently offer SMS alerts, so we do not currently collect phone numbers for that purpose.
- Notification preferences — your timezone, digest time, and the campsite watches you configure.
- Push notification token — if you enable push alerts in the app, we register a device token with Firebase Cloud Messaging (a Google service) and store it with your account so we can deliver alerts to your device. We do not use the token for ads or tracking.
We do not collect payment information directly. Paid features are billed by RevenueCat on mobile (iOS and Android), which relies on the app store's payment processor, and by a third-party payment processor on the web. Neither we nor RevenueCat store your card details; billing is subject to those providers' own privacy policies.
How we use your data
Your information is used solely to operate the Dibs on Dirt alert service — to send you campsite availability notifications by email and push, and to manage your alert preferences. We do not sell, rent, or license your personal data to any third party.
Data sharing
We share your data only with infrastructure providers that are strictly necessary to run the service — for example, our email delivery platform, Firebase Cloud Messaging for push delivery, and RevenueCat for subscription and purchase management. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account yourself, any time, from account settings — the gear icon in the app, or the settings screen on iOS and Android. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.
Deleting your account removes your account record, watches, alert history, notification settings, and push device registrations. Subscriptions billed through Apple or Google are not canceled by deleting your account; cancel those in the relevant store's subscription settings. A web subscription is canceled as part of account deletion. Any remaining paid period is forfeited, since there's no account left to serve it.
Billing records are the one exception — we keep them as a financial and accounting record. They're keyed to a transaction, not to your account, and carry no personal data once your account is deleted.
You can also request deletion by contacting us at support@dibsondirt.com. California residents may contact us to request deletion of their data under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Cookies and analytics
We use PostHog for product analytics — to understand how the service is used and to improve it. PostHog may set cookies or use local storage to track usage events. Before you sign in, those events are tied to a random identifier generated in your browser or app. After you sign in, we identify them to your account ID and email address so we can diagnose problems on a specific account. We do not use advertising cookies or sell analytics data.
The Booking Mode drop-trigger feature also sends PostHog an event each time it arms, fires, or fails, so we can diagnose delivery problems during a live campsite release window. That event is tagged with your IP address as its identifier (not an account or device ID), which PostHog processes as any other analytics event.
