Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information KidsEventsThisWeek.com collects when you visit, how we use it, and what choices you have. We've written it in plain English because the legalese versions nobody reads don't actually help anyone.
What We Collect
We collect very little. Here's what happens when you visit:
- Basic analytics: Page views, general location (country/state level), browser type, referring URL, and time on page. This helps us understand which cities and events are most useful to people.
- Cookies: We use a small number of cookies to make the site work and to power analytics. They don't track you across other websites.
- Emails you send us: If you email us at [email protected], we keep that message to respond to you. We don't add you to any mailing list unless you specifically ask to be added.
We do not collect your name, address, phone number, or payment information. There's no account to create, no form to fill out, and no subscription required to use the site.
How We Use It
The analytics data helps us figure out which city pages to build next, which event types are most popular, and whether the site is actually working well for people. That's it.
We don't use your data for advertising. We don't build profiles. We don't share or sell anything to third parties.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. The ones we use fall into two categories:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality. You can't opt out of these and still use the site.
- Analytics cookies: Help us count visits and understand how people use the site. You can disable these in your browser settings or by using a browser extension like uBlock Origin.
We do not use advertising cookies or any third-party tracking pixels.
Third-Party Services
We may use a third-party analytics tool (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics or similar) to process visit data. These services are chosen specifically because they are privacy-friendly and do not fingerprint users or share data with ad networks.
Event listings on this site link to third-party websites. Once you leave our site, their privacy policies apply — not ours. We're not responsible for how those sites handle your data.
Children's Privacy
Our site is aimed at parents and caregivers, not at children directly. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us somehow, please contact us and we'll delete it promptly.
Your Choices
You can:
- Use a browser with tracking protection enabled (Firefox, Brave, Safari all do this by default)
- Disable cookies in your browser settings
- Email us to ask what data, if any, we have related to you
- Ask us to delete any email correspondence you've sent us
Data Retention
Analytics data is retained in aggregate form and is not tied to individual users. Email correspondence is kept only as long as it's useful for resolving your inquiry.
Changes to This Policy
If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll update the effective date at the top. We're not going to quietly change things and hope you don't notice.
Contact
Privacy questions, data requests, or anything else — reach us at [email protected]. We're real people and we'll actually respond.
