Our Wild Privacy Policy
At Potluck Party Vibes, your privacy is guarded as fiercely as our forest creatures protect their secret berry patches. Our Privacy Policy was crafted by Hoots the Owl, who sees all but tells nothing (except to authorized parties with proper documentation).
The Owl's Oath
"As keeper of secrets and guardian of personal data, I solemnly swear to protect your information with the same vigilance I use to watch for predators in the night. Not a crumb of data shall fall into unauthorized paws!" — Hoots, Chief Privacy Owl
What Information We Collect
Our animal team collects only what's necessary to create the perfect potluck experience:
- Basic information – Your name (real or chosen), email address (we promise Sammy the Squirrel won't send you acorn sale promotions), and password (stored as securely as Maurice's honey stash).
- Potluck preferences – What delicious dishes you like to bring, dietary restrictions, and your potluck reliability rating (determined by Bill and Ted Beaver's proprietary "Will They Actually Bring The Guacamole?" algorithm).
- Usage data – How you interact with our app, collected by Ruby the Raccoon, who takes detailed notes when not distracted by shiny objects.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information for legitimate purposes only:
- To help you organize the most harmonious potluck gatherings this side of Mount Codermore.
- To ensure nobody brings four potato salads and no main dishes (a tragedy Maurice still has nightmares about).
- To improve our app based on how you use it (Ruby takes this very seriously and has several cork boards with string connecting user behavior patterns).
- To send you important notifications, like "Someone just claimed the last dessert slot!" or "The event location changed because the park was taken over by a family of actual raccoons."
What We DON'T Do With Your Data:
- We don't sell it to forest creatures or human corporations.
- We don't use it to create elaborate dossiers on your snacking preferences (though Maurice has considered it).
- We don't store it in hollow logs where any passing chipmunk could access it.
Cookies Policy
We use cookies, but not the delicious kind that Maurice keeps trying to eat. Our digital cookies help remember your preferences and keep you logged in. You can control these through your browser settings, though turning them off might confuse Sammy, who's responsible for the "Remember Me" feature.
Your Rights
As a Potluck Party Vibes user, you have certain rights:
- The right to access your personal data (supervised by Hoots for security purposes).
- The right to correct inaccurate information (Ruby sometimes gets distracted and types with her paws).
- The right to delete your account (though Maurice will be sad to see you go).
- The right to object to processing (The Beaver Brothers will reluctantly halt their algorithms).
Security Measures
Your data is secured using the latest encryption techniques, monitored by our security team led by Hoots the Owl. Our servers are physically protected by Maurice, who sleeps in front of the server room during hibernation season providing both warmth and security.
In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify you faster than Sammy can spot a dropped acorn. Our Incident Response Team (mostly Hoots and the Beaver Brothers) has regular drills for such emergencies.
Changes to This Policy
Like the seasons on Mount Codermore, our privacy policy may change occasionally. We'll notify you of significant updates, typically delivered via Hoots' formal announcement system (a series of dignified hoots and a notification in your app).
If you have questions about our privacy practices, please contact Hoots directly at privacy@potluckpartyvibes.com (emails managed by Hoots and occasionally misinterpreted by Ruby).
