Information collected automatically. When you use the Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, device identifiers, referring pages or websites, pages or screens viewed, links clicked, search queries, dates and times of visits, approximate location derived from IP address, app interactions, session information, crash and diagnostic information, and general usage and performance information.

We may use cookies, pixels, software development kits (“SDKs”), local storage, and similar technologies to collect some of this information.

Family Fun Guide may offer location-based features, such as finding activities, events, restaurants, parks, attractions, or businesses near you.

With your device's permission, our mobile application may access location information to provide these features. Where required by your device or applicable law, we will request permission before accessing precise location information.

You may disable location access through your device settings. Certain location-based features may not function properly if location access is disabled.

We may also determine an approximate location from information such as your IP address without accessing your device's precise GPS location. We do not sell precise geolocation information.

We may use information to:

• Operate and maintain Family Fun Guide
• Provide personalized recommendations and content
• Help users discover activities, businesses, events, products, services, and resources
• Provide search and location-based functionality
• Maintain user accounts and saved favorites
• Maintain business accounts and listings
• Process transactions
• Send newsletters, promotional or informational emails
• Send text messages where you have provided the appropriate consent
• Send push notifications where permitted
• Promote Family Fun Guide businesses, sponsors, advertisers, events, guides, and partners
• Administer contests, promotions, or giveaways
• Respond to questions and customer service requests
• Analyze how people use our Services and improve our website and applications
• Develop new features and measure advertising and content performance
• Detect fraud, abuse, security threats, and technical problems
• Protect Hive Vibe, Family Fun Guide, our users, and others
• Enforce our agreements and policies
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations

We may also use information in an aggregated or de-identified form that does not reasonably identify an individual.

Hive Vibe does not sell or rent parent or consumer personal information or contact lists to participating businesses, sponsors, advertisers, or data brokers for their independent marketing purposes.

For example, if a parent subscribes to Family Fun Guide using an email address or mobile telephone number, purchasing an advertisement or sponsored listing from Family Fun Guide does not give a business access to that parent's email address or telephone number.

Instead, Hive Vibe may promote that business through Family Fun Guide's own communications and platforms. For example, a sponsored business may be featured in a Family Fun Guide newsletter, text message, social media post, push notification, article or guide, on FamilyFunGuide.com, or in the Family Fun Guide mobile application.

The communication remains a Family Fun Guide / Hive Vibe communication unless we clearly tell you otherwise.

Although we do not sell parent or consumer contact information as described above, we may disclose information in limited circumstances necessary to operate our business.

Service providers. We may provide information to companies that perform services for us, including providers of website and application hosting, cloud storage and databases, email delivery, text-message delivery, push notifications, payment processing, analytics, customer support, security and fraud prevention, software and technology infrastructure, and professional services. These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services.

When you direct us to share information. We may share information when you intentionally request or authorize us to do so. For example, if a feature allows you to contact a business directly and you choose to submit your information to that business, the information you submit may be provided to that business.

Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, subpoena, or governmental request; protect the rights or property of Hive Vibe, Family Fun Guide, users, or others; investigate suspected fraud or illegal activity; protect someone's safety; or enforce our agreements.

Business transactions. Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or sale or transfer of all or part of Hive Vibe or Family Fun Guide. Any successor's handling of personal information will remain subject to applicable law and the privacy commitments applicable to the information at the time of the transaction.

Users may choose to receive Family Fun Guide newsletters, recommendations, promotions, event information, sponsored content, announcements, and other communications by email. Promotional emails may include information about businesses that advertise with, sponsor, or otherwise participate in Family Fun Guide.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message. We may continue to send non-promotional communications when necessary for an account, transaction, security issue, or service you requested.

Where offered, users may choose to receive Family Fun Guide text messages. By opting in, you agree to receive the categories of messages described when you subscribe, which may include informational and promotional messages from Family Fun Guide or Hive Vibe. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP. You may reply HELP for assistance where supported.

We will not provide a user's mobile telephone number to participating Family Fun Guide businesses merely so those businesses can independently market to that user. Additional SMS terms or disclosures presented when you enroll also apply.

If you use a Family Fun Guide mobile application, we may ask permission to send push notifications regarding events, recommendations, activities, guides, promotions, sponsored content, and other Family Fun Guide information. You can control push notifications through your device settings.

Family Fun Guide and our technology providers may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember preferences, understand usage, improve performance, prevent fraud, and measure marketing effectiveness.

Some technologies may be provided by third-party analytics, advertising, social media, or technology providers. Where applicable, users may be provided with choices regarding non-essential cookies or tracking technologies. Browser and device settings may also provide controls for certain cookies and tracking technologies.

Family Fun Guide is supported in part through advertising, sponsorships, featured listings, affiliate relationships, and other commercial partnerships.

A business's payment to Family Fun Guide does not provide that business with access to Family Fun Guide's parent or consumer database.

Where required or appropriate, we may identify paid relationships using disclosures such as Sponsored, Advertisement, Featured, Paid Partnership, or similar language.

We may use aggregated statistics to tell businesses how their advertising performed. For example, we may report that a listing received a certain number of views or clicks without providing the business with the identities or contact information of individual parents who viewed the listing.

Family Fun Guide may participate in affiliate marketing programs. Some links to products or services may be affiliate links. If you make a qualifying purchase after using an affiliate link, Hive Vibe may receive a commission or other compensation.

Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay unless specifically stated. We will provide disclosures regarding affiliate relationships as required by applicable law.

Family Fun Guide helps users discover independent businesses, organizations, attractions, events, products, and services. Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, reservation systems, ticketing platforms, online stores, social networks, or other services.

Once you leave Family Fun Guide or intentionally provide information directly to another company, that company's privacy practices apply. Hive Vibe does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, or practices of independent third parties.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.

Family Fun Guide is designed to help parents, guardians, caregivers, and other adults discover family-friendly activities, businesses, products, events, and resources.

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not create Family Fun Guide accounts or provide personal information directly to us. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 in a manner prohibited by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information to us may contact us using the information at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Users and businesses may have opportunities to submit photographs, reviews, comments, listing information, or other content.

Do not submit photographs or personal information about another person unless you have the right and appropriate permission to do so.

Businesses are responsible for ensuring that they have appropriate rights and permissions for photographs, logos, descriptions, and other materials they upload to Family Fun Guide.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no website, application, database, network, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should notify us if they believe their account has been compromised.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain accounts, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, satisfy contractual requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain appropriate business records, and comply with applicable law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected. We may retain aggregated or de-identified information for longer periods where permitted by law.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information. You may contact us to request that we:

• Provide information about personal information we maintain about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete certain personal information
• Address concerns regarding our use of your information
• Assist with applicable privacy rights

Certain information may need to be retained where permitted or required by law. We may take reasonable steps to verify a request before processing it.

You may also independently unsubscribe from promotional emails, opt out of marketing texts, disable push notifications, adjust device location permissions, and adjust browser or device privacy settings.

We will not discriminate against a consumer for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

Privacy rights vary by state and may change over time. Where a state privacy law applies to Hive Vibe or Family Fun Guide, we will honor the rights provided by that law.

Depending on applicable law, those rights may include rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of certain personal information and rights relating to certain forms of targeted advertising, profiling, sharing, or sale of personal information.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit rights that cannot legally be limited.

Some browsers and devices offer “Do Not Track” or other privacy preference mechanisms. Because standards and legal requirements concerning these mechanisms may vary, our response may depend on the technology involved and applicable law.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will process the signal as required.

If businesses or users purchase products, listings, advertisements, sponsorships, subscriptions, or other services through Family Fun Guide, payments may be processed by a third-party payment processor.

Hive Vibe may receive transaction-related information but may not directly receive or store complete payment-card information when payment information is submitted directly to the payment processor. The payment processor's privacy policy and terms also apply to its processing of payment information.

Family Fun Guide may maintain accounts on social media platforms. When you interact with Family Fun Guide through a social media platform, information may be processed both by Hive Vibe and by the platform according to its own privacy policy.

Information you make publicly available through social media may be visible to others.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our Services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate or required by law.

Your continued use of the Services following an updated Privacy Policy is subject to applicable law.
