Privacy & Terms
Overdrive Radar helps people discover automotive events in Ventura County. This page explains how we handle information and the terms for using the website. Overdrive Radar does not offer user accounts, profiles, messaging, payments, or social networking features.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026. This policy describes how Overdrive Radar handles information when you use our website.
Information we collect
We collect only what is needed to operate a public event discovery site:
- Search and filter usage — queries, date ranges, event types, and location text you enter to retrieve results. We do not require an account, and this usage is not tied to a personal profile.
- Approximate device location — only if you choose to use device location for distance-based search. Location is sent with your request to calculate results and is not stored as a persistent user profile.
- Basic analytics — if analytics are enabled on the hosted site, we may receive aggregated usage data such as page views, referrers, and general traffic patterns. We do not use analytics to build individual user profiles.
- Technical information — standard browser and device data sent with web requests, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and timestamps. Hosting logs may retain this information for security and reliability.
- Contact inquiries — if you email us or use the contact form when a contact address is available, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your name, email address, and message content).
How information is used
We use collected information to:
- Provide search, map, and event listing features
- Improve website performance, usability, and reliability
- Maintain and correct event listings where possible
- Respond to questions, corrections, and feedback
- Understand general usage patterns and diagnose technical issues
We do not sell personal information. We do not use your data to operate accounts, memberships, messaging, payments, or advertising profiles because those features are not part of the current site.
Event information
Event listings on Overdrive Radar are compiled from publicly available sources, including organizer websites, venue pages, public social posts, and other community-visible listings. We may also receive corrections or tips from visitors.
Event details can change without notice. Dates, times, locations, admission rules, and cancellation status are controlled by event organizers, not by Overdrive Radar. You should verify important details with the official organizer or source before attending.
Third-party services
The site relies on third parties to function, including:
- Hosting providers — to serve the website and process requests
- Mapping services — map tiles from OpenStreetMap and CARTO, served through Leaflet; directions links may open Google Maps
- Analytics providers — only if analytics are enabled on the deployed site
These providers may process technical information according to their own policies when you interact with maps, external links, or hosted infrastructure.
Cookies
Overdrive Radar does not require login cookies because the site has no account system. The site may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, session reliability, or optional analytics. You can limit or block cookies through your browser settings, though some features may work less reliably if you do.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to a small public website, including HTTPS on the hosted site and limited access to operational systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Website purpose
Overdrive Radarprovides automotive event discovery and informational listings focused on Ventura County. The site helps you find cars & coffee, cruise nights, meetups, shows, and related gatherings. It is an information service only—not a social network, ticketing platform, or event organizer.

We make reasonable efforts to present useful and current information, but listings are provided “as is” and “as available.” Overdrive Radar does not warrant that any listing is complete, accurate, timely, or error-free.
Third-party events
Most events listed on Overdrive Radar are organized and operated by third parties. Overdrive Radar does not control and is not responsible for event operations, cancellations, venue conditions, safety, traffic, parking, conduct of attendees or organizers, or any outcome of your decision to attend an event.
