Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Happy Hour Near Me collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit our website, browse venue listings, use search tools, submit forms, or interact with advertising and analytics services. We are committed to handling information responsibly and transparently. This policy is intended to support users in the United States and internationally, including visitors who may be entitled to privacy rights under laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA.

We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, subject line, and message when you submit a contact form. We may also collect technical and usage information automatically, including IP address, approximate location inferred from IP, browser type, device type, referral source, on-site activity, pages viewed, timestamps, and interactions with search filters or advertising placements. If you use a “near me” feature, location coordinates are only used to provide location-based results and are generally processed at the time of request rather than permanently stored unless necessary for fraud prevention, diagnostics, or service integrity.

We use collected information to operate and improve the website, respond to inquiries, prevent misuse, analyze traffic patterns, understand page performance, support advertising operations, and maintain accurate venue content. We may also use information to detect abuse, troubleshoot technical problems, and monitor aggregate demand by market or content type. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging directly identifying data for money. However, some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly, especially in the context of advertising or analytics technologies, and we honor applicable opt-out rights where required.

Cookies, pixels, log files, analytics tags, and similar technologies may be used to understand site performance, remember preferences, measure ad effectiveness, and deliver relevant experiences. Some cookies are essential for site operation, while others support analytics or advertising. Depending on your location, you may have the right to manage cookie preferences, object to certain processing, or request deletion of personal information. You may also control cookies at the browser level. Disabling some technologies may affect the availability or performance of certain features.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar privacy protections, our legal bases for processing may include consent, legitimate interests, performance of a contract, and compliance with legal obligations. Legitimate interests may include maintaining the website, improving directory quality, understanding user engagement, and protecting against fraud or abuse. If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, request deletion of certain data, correct inaccurate information, and opt out of certain sharing practices. We do not discriminate against users for exercising privacy rights.

We may use service providers for hosting, analytics, contact handling, ad serving, and technical support. These providers are permitted to process data only as necessary to perform services for us, subject to applicable contracts and safeguards. We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law, dispute resolution, security review, or legitimate business need. You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or additional information about our privacy practices. We will review and respond in accordance with applicable law.

Because our site may link to third-party venues, booking services, social platforms, or external advertisers, this Privacy Policy does not control the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage users to review their policies separately. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or business operations. When material changes are made, we will update the effective content on the page and revise related notices where appropriate.
