Privacy policy
NYC Playground Guide is operated by Nofo Times LLC. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have when you use the guide.
Who we are
NYC Playground Guide is operated by Nofo Times LLC. Questions about this policy can be sent to info@nycplaygroundguide.com.
Information we collect
We may collect information you choose to send us, including your name, email address, and any details you include when you contact us, join an email list, reply to a message, or otherwise communicate with us. We also collect routine technical and usage information through server logs, analytics tools, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, which can include IP address, browser type, device type, general location, referring pages, pages viewed, time on site, clicks, and similar activity data.
How we use information
We use information to operate and improve the guide, understand traffic and reader behavior, troubleshoot technical issues, maintain security, respond to messages, send emails you asked to receive, measure the performance of pages and links, manage affiliate or advertising relationships, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Cookies, analytics, and similar tools
We use cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and analytics tools to understand site usage and improve the guide. These tools may recognize your browser or device over time and may collect information about pageviews, clicks, referral sources, and general location. Your browser may let you block or limit cookies, although parts of the site may work less smoothly if you do.
Email signups and communications
If you sign up for emails, we may use your information to send newsletters, updates, or occasional related messages. Email tools may track actions such as opens, clicks, or unsubscribes. You can unsubscribe at any time through the link in the email or by contacting us.
Affiliate links, advertising, and partners
Some links on the guide are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. We may also work with analytics providers, advertising partners, email tools, hosting companies, embedded content providers, referral platforms, and other vendors that collect or process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with service providers and vendors that help us operate the guide, such as hosting providers, analytics services, email platforms, affiliate networks, advertising partners, technical contractors, and security tools. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, investigate misuse, enforce our terms, protect the rights or safety of Nofo Times LLC, NYC Playground Guide, our owners, officers, managers, employees, contractors, affiliates, partners, service providers, users, or the public, or in connection with a business transfer such as a sale, merger, financing, restructuring, or asset transfer.
Third-party services and external websites
This site may link to or rely on third-party websites, maps, videos, booking tools, affiliate platforms, city resources, forms, embedded tools, and other external services. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies, not ours. We are not responsible for their content, practices, security, availability, or data handling.
Data retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably useful for site operations, analytics, communication, legal compliance, recordkeeping, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our rights. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information, but no website, email, platform, server, or internet transmission is fully secure. By using the site, you understand that any transmission of information is at your own risk.
Children's privacy
The guide is written for adults such as parents, caregivers, relatives, and other people planning outings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will review the request.
Your choices
You can choose not to submit personal information, can limit or disable cookies through your browser settings, and can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also have additional privacy rights under applicable law. If you want to contact us about your information, email info@nycplaygroundguide.com.
Policy changes
We may update this policy at any time. The version posted on the site is the current version in effect, and your continued use of the guide after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
