Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 22, 2026 | Last Updated: August 2026

GoBagCheck ("we", "our", or "us"), operated by IT WebSmith Inc, is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information and family emergency preparedness data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit our website at gobagcheck.com or use the GoBagCheck application at app.gobagcheck.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum necessary information to provide you with functional emergency kit planning, supply tracking, and cross-device synchronization:

  • Account Credentials: When you register an account, we collect your chosen username, email address, and an encrypted hash of your account password.
  • Emergency Kit & Inventory Data: Custom go bag names, supply items packed, item expiration dates, household preparedness notes, and optional personal emergency contact numbers.
  • Technical & Usage Information: IP address, browser type, device information, and local storage state (such as dark mode preferences and session tokens).

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used strictly to deliver and improve the GoBagCheck experience:

  • To synchronize custom emergency kit inventories across your desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
  • To calculate overall preparedness readiness percentages and generate supply rotation alert notifications.
  • To format and render 1-page printable emergency binder sheets.
  • To send password reset requests and critical security alerts.

3. Data Protection & Sharing

We do NOT sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal emergency data.

Your emergency inventories and contact details are private to your account. We only disclose information if required to comply with applicable laws, legal process, or valid governmental requests.

4. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures, including SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, password hashing (bcrypt/wp_hash_password), and secure server infrastructure managed by IT WebSmith Inc.

5. External Recommendation Links

GoBagCheck may display recommendation links next to missing or expiring checklist items (e.g. Amazon search links). Clicking these third-party links takes you to external websites governed by their own privacy policies. We do not share your private checklist contents with third-party retailers.

6. Your Data Rights & Choices

You have full control over your data. You may inspect, edit, export (via JSON configuration download), or permanently delete your emergency bags and account information at any time within the application settings.
