EatPlayToday
Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 12, 2026
Who we are
EatPlayToday (eatplaytoday.com) is a local guide to the Tri-Cities of Washington, operated by Eat Play Today LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“we,” “us”). This policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
The short version: we collect only what we need to run the guide and its planning assistant. We do not sell your information, we do not use advertising trackers, and we delete detailed activity records after 90 days.
Information we collect
Questions you ask the assistant. When you use the planning assistant, we receive what you type and the choices you pick, such as who the plan is for. Before we store a question, we remove email addresses and phone numbers from it. We keep the question and the assistant’s answer for up to 90 days.
Your location, only if you allow it. The Near Me feature and the assistant can ask your browser for your location. Your browser asks your permission first, and you can say no. If you do, we use the city you choose instead. We use your location to find places near you. Before we store it, we round it to about one kilometer (two decimal places), so the stored record cannot pinpoint where you were. When the assistant asks its AI provider for an answer, it passes along how far places are from you, not your coordinates.
How you use the site. We record which listings appear in results and which ones you click, along with taps on a listing’s phone number, website or directions. These records are tied to a random session number that lives in your browser’s session storage and is erased when you close the tab. They do not include your name, your IP address or your device details.
Messages you send us. If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, phone number if you give it, the topic and your message.
Business owner accounts. If you register as a business owner, submit a listing, or post an event or special, we collect your name, email address, login details, and the business information you provide.
Payments. Paid listings are billed through our payment processor. We do not see or store your full card number.
Standard server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically keeps basic technical logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, to keep the site secure and working. If you use Near Me, your rounded or exact location may appear in the page address of that request, and so may be recorded in these logs.
How we use it
- To answer your questions and show places that fit your plans.
- To improve the guide, for example by finding questions the assistant could not answer.
- To give listed businesses totals, such as how many times their listing was shown or clicked. These are counts only and never identify you.
- To reply to your messages and run business owner accounts and billing.
- To keep the site secure and prevent misuse.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We share it only with the service providers that run parts of the site for us:
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Groq | Runs the AI model that writes the assistant’s answers | The text of your question and the details needed to answer it, such as place details and distances. When business owners use the Generate buttons on the listing form, it also receives the business name, category and city |
| Google Maps | Shows maps and calculates locations | Map requests from your browser, which Google receives like any website request |
| Our hosting provider | Hosts the website and its database | Everything stored on the site |
| Our payment processor | Processes payments for paid listings | Billing details from business owners |
Each provider handles information under its own privacy policy. Please do not type sensitive personal information into the assistant.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or someone’s safety, or as part of a sale or transfer of our business.
Cookies
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Business owners who log in receive the cookies needed to stay signed in. The session number described above is kept in session storage, not in a cookie, and disappears when you close the tab.
How long we keep it
| Information | How long |
|---|---|
| Assistant questions and answers, and detailed activity records | Deleted after 90 days |
| Daily totals (counts with no personal details) | Kept to measure the guide over time |
| Contact form messages | As long as needed to respond and keep a record of the conversation |
| Business owner accounts | Until the account is closed, then as required for tax and billing records |
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including restricted access to stored records. No website is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
- You can use the guide without sharing your location, and without using the assistant.
- You can block location access at any time in your browser settings.
- You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing hello@eatplaytoday.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Children
EatPlayToday is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the effective date. If a change is significant, we will note it on the site.
