3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance, and support marketing activities.
Cookies used on our website may fall into categories such as:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These help the website function properly and support features such as security, forms, and preference management.

Where required, non-essential cookies and tracking technologies will be used only after you have provided the appropriate consent.
You may manage your cookie preferences through the cookie consent or preference tool available on our website. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect certain website functionality.
Additional information about cookies used on this website may be provided in our Cookie Policy or cookie preference center.
4. Analytics and Third-Party Technologies
We may use third-party services to help operate and understand our website.
For example, we may use Google Analytics or similar analytics services to understand website traffic and usage. These services may collect information about your device, browsing activity, and interaction with our website.
We may also use third-party technologies in connection with:
- Website hosting and performance

- Spam and fraud prevention
- Security
- Advertising and campaign measurement
- Social media integrations

These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and our agreements with them.
Where legally required, we use consent-management tools to control non-essential tracking technologies until appropriate consent has been obtained.
5. How We Disclose Information
We do not sell personal information to data brokers or third parties for monetary compensation.
We may disclose information to vendors, contractors, consultants, and other service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, email delivery, website maintenance, security, and other business operations.

Some privacy laws define terms such as “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than their ordinary meanings and may include certain uses of advertising or tracking technologies. Where applicable, we provide legally required choices regarding those activities.
6. Email Communications
If you subscribe to our email communications or otherwise agree to receive marketing emails, we may use your email address to send newsletters, marketing insights, company updates, service information, and related communications.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not necessarily prevent us from sending non-promotional communications related to an existing business relationship, inquiry, transaction, or other service-related matter.
7. California Privacy Disclosures
Social Hospitality is based in California and respects the privacy rights available to California residents.
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) requires certain commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to conspicuously post a privacy policy describing their information practices.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, California residents may have rights regarding their personal information.
Social Hospitality does not sell personal information to data brokers or third parties for monetary compensation.
Certain California privacy laws use broader definitions of “sale” and “sharing,” particularly in connection with targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. If our use of technology constitutes a sale or sharing under applicable law, we will provide any notices and opt-out mechanisms legally required.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting. Because there is not a universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to DNT signals, our website may not respond to all DNT signals.
Certain browsers and browser extensions may also transmit Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals expressing a user’s preference to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a GPC signal, we will process the signal as required. Our cookie consent platform may also provide controls that allow you to manage tracking preferences directly.
9. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information, which may include the right to:
- Request information about personal information we maintain about you
- Request access to your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of certain personal information
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Opt out of certain marketing communications
- Exercise other privacy rights provided under applicable law
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.
To submit a privacy-related request, contact us using the information provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
10. International Visitors
Social Hospitality is based in the United States, and our website is operated from the United States.
If you access our website from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Privacy and data protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws in your country.
Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate measures regarding international transfers and processing of personal information.
Visitors located in jurisdictions that provide additional privacy rights may contact us to exercise those rights.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain business and legal records, comply with our obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal or business requirements.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through our website.
13. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites, services, or content operated by third parties.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit.
14. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are intended for businesses and adult users and are not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If we become aware that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
