419 Happy Hour ("we", "us") runs 419happyhour.com, a free guide to happy hour deals in Toledo and Northwest Ohio. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We keep it short and we never sell your information.
What we collect
| Information | Why | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|
| Deal submissions: the bar, days, times, specials, vibe, your initials and how you know about the deal | To review and publish the deal. Your initials appear on the listing. | As long as the listing is on the site. Rejected submissions are deleted within 90 days. |
| Your email address, if you sign up for the weekly deals email | To send the weekly email. Every email has an unsubscribe link. | Until you unsubscribe |
| Reports that a deal is out of date: what changed and, if you give it, your email | To fix the listing. We only use your email to ask about your report, unless you also choose to get the weekly email. | Reports are kept while the listing is up. Emails on reports are deleted after 90 days. |
| Bar owner requests: your name, role, email and the bar's phone number | To confirm you work at the bar and send your private link to manage the listing. | While you manage the listing, or until you ask us to delete it |
| Your location, only if you tap "Near me" and allow it | To sort deals by distance. Your browser does this on your device. Your location is never sent to us or stored. | Not stored |
| A one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address when you submit a deal or report one | To stop spam and limit repeated submissions. We can't turn the hash back into your IP address. | 30 days |
| Analytics data such as pages viewed, device type and approximate location (only if you accept analytics cookies) | To understand which pages and features people use, so we can improve the site. | Up to 14 months, in Google Analytics |
| Your filter choices, cookie choice and deals you reported, stored in your own browser | So the site remembers your settings on your next visit. | Until you clear your browser data |
You never need to give your name, email or phone number to browse deals or submit one.
