Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 19, 2026 · Last updated: October 19, 2026

At spirithalloweenlocations.com, your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the website, how we use it, and the rights you have over your personal data. By using spirithalloweenlocations.com, you agree to the practices described below.

We have written this policy in plain English. If anything is unclear, please ask us through our Contact Us page and we'll be happy to explain.

Information We Collect

We collect two general types of information: data you choose to give us, and data collected automatically when you browse the website.

Personal Information You Provide

If you contact us through our contact form, send feedback or report a correction, you may share information such as:

  • Your name (if you give it)
  • Your email address
  • The content of your message
  • Any other details you choose to include

We use this information only to reply to you and to improve the site. We never publish personal messages, and we never sell or rent your details.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the site, some non-personal data is recorded automatically by our hosting provider and our analytics tool. This typically includes:

  • IP address (often shortened or anonymized)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and device type
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • The website or search engine that sent you here
  • Approximate location (city or region level)

Location Features

If you use a location feature such as Near Me, your browser asks for your permission first. Your location is used only to show stores near you; we do not store it.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

spirithalloweenlocations.com uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies: needed for core features, such as remembering the stores you save on the map.
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site (for example, through Google Analytics) so we can improve content and features.
  • Advertising cookies: if we display ads, these cookies help show relevant ads.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may affect some features, such as your saved stores on the map.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for these limited purposes:

  • To reply to your messages and feedback
  • To measure site traffic and improve pages and tools
  • To detect, prevent and fix technical problems or abuse
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information to send marketing emails, to build profiles for sale to others, or for any purpose not described here.

Sharing Your Information

Third-Party Services

To run the site, we rely on a small number of trusted third-party services. Some of them receive data as part of their normal operation:

  • Analytics services, such as Google Analytics, for traffic measurement
  • Advertising networks, if advertising is displayed
  • Content delivery and security services
  • Map and location services, for the map, place search and directions (only when you use those features)
  • Our hosting provider, for serving the website itself

Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them if you have concerns.

Legal Compliance

We may disclose information if the law requires it, such as in response to a valid subpoena, court order or government request, or when needed to protect our rights, the safety of visitors or the security of the website.

No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, lease or trade your personal information to anyone.

  • The right to data portability

Children's Privacy

spirithalloweenlocations.com is not intended for children under 13. In line with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

External Links

Our site links to external websites, including map apps for directions, the official Spirit Halloween website, Spirit's job pages and other third-party services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices or data handling of those sites. Please review their privacy policies separately.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect the limited information we hold, including HTTPS encryption for all pages, secure hosting and minimal data retention. No system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the security of information sent over the internet.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed to provide the service or meet legal obligations. Messages are kept for up to 24 months unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Anonymized analytics data may be kept longer to study trends.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or the law.
