Privacy Policy

1Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Let's Get Out, Kids! (“we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you visit and use our community website located at letsgetoutkids.com.

By accessing or using the site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you have any questions, you can contact us through our Contact Form.

2Visitor Location Detection & Local Storage

To fulfill our primary purpose — helping you find family activities and outings closest to where you live — our service estimates your approximate geographical area (such as city or ZIP code) upon arrival using:

• Edge IP Geolocation: Standard, non-invasive request headers provided by our hosting infrastructure (Vercel Edge) to deduce your approximate metropolitan region.
• Browser Geolocation (Optional): If you choose to tap “Use My Exact Device GPS Location,” your browser will ask for one-time permission. This GPS coordinate is computed exclusively on your device.
• User Choice & Manual Override: You can change, search for any US city or ZIP code, or remove your location filter at any time using the Location Bar on the homepage or the header location button.

Where is it stored? Your location preference is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so you don't have to re-enter it on each visit. We do not store, cross-reference, or sell your location history.

3Analytics & Usage Information

We collect anonymous, aggregated metrics to ensure website performance, monitor broken links, and identify what categories of activities parents are looking for:

• Page views & route activity: URLs visited, date and time of visits, and device categories (mobile, tablet, or desktop).
• Aggregated search queries: Common search terms (e.g. “farmers market”, “free storytime”) to help us source better event data.
• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics (GA4) with IP anonymization to understand general site traffic trends and performance. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track interactions. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by using the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our website is designed to provide information about children's activities to parents, legal guardians, and adult caregivers. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or retain personal information from children under the age of 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personally identifiable information, please contact us immediately through our Contact Form, and we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records.

5Contact Inquiries & Event Submissions

If you submit a message, event listing, or correction via our Contact form, we collect the name, email address, topic, and message content you provide. This information is used strictly to communicate with you and review the submitted event listing. We never share or sell contact lists.

6Third-Party Websites & Event Hosts

Our directory contains links to third-party municipal websites, school districts, park services, libraries, ticketing providers, and private attraction venues. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie policies, or content of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.

7California Consumer Privacy Notice (CCPA / CPRA)

• We Do Not Sell or Share Personal Data: We do not sell or monetize personal information or cross-context behavioral advertising profiles.
