Clear rules for a useful Arizona calendar.

Privacy

Useful data, kept proportionate.

Arizona Now is designed for event discovery, not behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information, build cross-site advertising profiles, or require an account to browse public events.

Information you provide

• Organizer inquiry: name, work email, organization, website, market, event volume, optional public calendar feed URL, and the problem you want solved.
• Event submission: event facts, organizer name, contact email, source or ticket link, and optional image link.
• Business profile submission: public business facts, official link, private contact name and email, and your relationship to the business.
• Google sign-in: verified account identifier, name, email, and profile image supplied by Google when you choose to sign in.
• Planner request: the text you enter plus the current event records offered to the planner. Planner prompts are not added to Arizona Now’s analytics collection.

Information collected automatically

The app records a limited set of first-party product actions—such as event views, saves, shares, source-link clicks, planner runs, and form starts—without a user ID, advertising ID, or stored IP address in the analytics record. Account and contact fields are used for ownership, moderation, and support and are not included in public listing API responses. Normal server security logs may include IP address, request path, status, and timing. Browser storage keeps saved events, location preferences, and drafts on your device.

How information is used

We use the information to operate and secure the service, review submissions, send the edition requested, respond to organizers, measure aggregate product usefulness, report campaign actions, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.

Service providers

Depending on configuration and the feature you choose, Arizona Now may use Google for sign-in, Stripe for hosted payment, an AI provider (xAI or OpenAI) for source-constrained copy processing, Open-Meteo for weather, ipwho.is for approximate location, and Zippopotam.us for ZIP lookup. AI requests send only the request and supplied event facts; do not put sensitive personal information in them.

Retention and choices

Operational records are kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, security, financial records, disputes, and legal requirements. You can browse without an account, clear local browser data at any time, unsubscribe from email, or request access, correction, or deletion using the contact below.

Do not submit private events, attendee lists, health information, precise home addresses, or other sensitive personal data.

Cookies & local storage

No tracking cookies. Your device keeps your picks.

Arizona Now does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies and does not use third-party analytics cookies. What the browser app stores and why:

• Local storage (this site only): saved events, location and weather preferences, draft submissions, navigation state, and — if you sign in — a cached copy of your Google profile and owner tokens for postings you manage. This data stays in your browser; clearing site data in your browser removes it.
• Strictly necessary third-party cookies: if you choose Google sign-in, Google sets its own cookies to authenticate you; if you start a paid checkout, Stripe sets cookies on its hosted checkout page for payment security and fraud prevention. Neither runs unless you use that feature.
• Service worker cache: pages and assets are cached on your device so the app loads fast and works offline. Clearing site data removes the cache.

Because no non-essential cookies are set, there is no consent banner to click through. If a future feature requires non-essential cookies, this notice and an opt-in will ship with it.

Terms of Service

The agreement for using Arizona Now.

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Arizona Now (“the service,” “we”) governing your use of this website, its apps, and its APIs. By using the service you accept these terms, the posting terms, the advertising standards, and the privacy notice on this page. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 to submit content, request organizer access, or purchase placement. You are responsible for activity under the Google account you use with the service and for keeping access to it secure. We may suspend or terminate access that violates these terms, abuses the service, or creates risk for users.

The service and your use of it

Arizona Now is a discovery and listing service for public Arizona events, activities, and plan-supporting businesses. You may use it for personal, non-commercial browsing and for authorized posting and promotion of your own events and business. You may not scrape at scale, harvest contact data, probe or overload the infrastructure, bypass moderation or rate limits, misrepresent identity or affiliation, or resell service data without written permission.

Intellectual property

The service — including its software, design, branding, generated artwork, and editorial compilations — belongs to Arizona Now or its licensors. Submitted content stays yours under the license in the posting terms. Event facts (dates, times, places) are facts; the curated compilation, copy, and presentation are protected.

Disclaimers

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. Event details change without notice; verify with the linked official source. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Arizona Now and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service or attendance at any listed event. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid the service in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Indemnity

If you post content or run a promotion, you agree to defend and hold the service harmless from claims arising out of your content, your event or business, or your breach of these terms.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Claims must be brought within one year of the events giving rise to them where the law allows.

Changes, severability, and termination

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the effective date above, and continued use after a change is acceptance. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Sections that by their nature survive termination — licenses for published records, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute terms — survive.

Posting terms

Post facts you are authorized to share.

By submitting an event or business profile, you confirm that you are at least 18, the posting is legitimate, the facts are accurate to the best of your knowledge, and you have authority to provide the text, links, logos, and images submitted.

What may be posted

Public Arizona events and plan-supporting business profiles from businesses, venues, governments, nonprofits, institutions, and community organizers are eligible. A free listing does not guarantee publication, ranking, newsletter placement, or promotion. Arizona Now may verify, edit for clarity, deduplicate, delay, reject, label, expire, or remove a record to protect accuracy and users.

Content license

You keep ownership of your content. You grant Arizona Now a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, format, excerpt, display, distribute, and create accessibility or social-display versions of submitted content for operating and promoting the event service. You may withdraw this license for future use by requesting removal, subject to legal recordkeeping.

Prohibited content

• Illegal, deceptive, unsafe, discriminatory, harassing, or sexually exploitative material.
• Copyrighted images, trademarks, or text you lack permission to use.
• Malware, impersonation, fake ticket links, pyramid schemes, or misleading scarcity and pricing.
• Private gatherings, personal data, or listings that misrepresent sponsorship, availability, location, or affiliation.

Third-party events and links

Event details, tickets, business hours, prices, availability, accessibility, weather, road conditions, and cancellation status can change. Arizona Now is a discovery service and is not the event producer, venue, ticket seller, business operator, or insurer unless explicitly stated. Confirm material details with the linked official source before attending, booking, or purchasing.

Accounts and availability

You are responsible for access to the Google account used to manage a post. Guest posts may not be editable by the submitter. The service is provided as available and may change or experience interruption. To the extent allowed by law, Arizona Now is not liable for indirect losses or for the conduct, cancellation, safety, or quality of a third-party event.

Advertising standards

Promotion buys distribution—not endorsement.

Paid placements are labeled “Sponsored” or otherwise clearly identified. Payment does not make an event or business verified, improve its factual confidence, erase safety or moderation rules, or guarantee editorial inclusion.

Ranking and delivery

Sponsored inventory may receive agreed city, category, date, or placement distribution. Organic relevance and user filters remain meaningful, and sponsored content does not silently impersonate an organic recommendation. Campaign scope, dates, price, and any delivery target must be recorded before a paid campaign begins.

Measurement

Campaign reporting may include event-detail views, saves, shares, planner matches, and outbound ticket or RSVP clicks. These are product actions, not guaranteed attendance, ticket sales, unique people, or independently audited impressions unless the order says otherwise. Invalid or automated traffic may be removed.

Payment, cancellation, and make-goods

Live card payments are fulfilled only after server verification from the payment provider. The applicable order controls timing, cancellation, refund, and delivery. If Arizona Now materially fails an agreed delivery commitment, the ordinary remedy is a reasonable extension, replacement placement, account credit, or refund of the undelivered portion. No self-reported payment can activate a campaign.

Founding prices are experiments until the audience and delivery gates in the product strategy are met. Arizona Now will not publish invented reach claims.

DMCA & IP takedowns

Copyright complaints get a real process.

Arizona Now respects intellectual property rights and follows the notice-and-takedown process of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). Most listing imagery is site-generated or used under a documented source license; if something of yours appears here without permission, tell the designated agent and it will be addressed promptly.

Designated agent

Send copyright notices through the DMCA takedown form (preferred — it is triaged automatically) or by email to the designated agent: Stephen Abbott, DMCA Designated Agent, Arizona Now — stephenabbott20@gmail.com. The agent's mailing address and phone are on file in the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory registration for this service.

What a complete notice includes

• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list).
• The URL or precise location of the material on Arizona Now.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

What happens next

Every notice becomes a tracked takedown ticket. An automated pipeline matches the identified URLs against the content catalog, and once the designated agent approves the notice, the same pipeline removes the material and records exactly what was removed — so takedowns are executed expeditiously and auditably rather than by hand. Rights holders who use GitHub may file the structured notice directly at the takedown form; emailed notices are entered into the same pipeline by the agent.

Credible notices result in prompt removal or disabling of the identified material, notification of the poster where possible, and a record of the action. The poster may submit a counter-notification under § 512(g) with their contact information, identification of the removed material, consent to jurisdiction, and a good-faith statement under penalty of perjury; material may be restored in 10–14 business days unless the claimant files a court action. Accounts that repeatedly infringe are terminated. Knowingly false claims can make the sender liable for damages under § 512(f).

Trademark, publicity-rights, and other non-copyright IP complaints go to the same agent with the same details; they are handled on the corrections timeline rather than the DMCA statutory process.

Corrections & rights

Accuracy beats keeping a card live.

Organizers and attendees can report a wrong date, cancellation, unsafe link, duplicate, rights concern, or misleading sponsorship. Include the event URL, the specific correction, and a source that supports it. Credible cancellation, impersonation, fraud, privacy, and copyright reports are prioritized; a record may be hidden while reviewed.

For a copyright report, follow the DMCA process above. False reports may carry legal consequences.
