Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how The Hall Pass, including its owners, operators, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives (collectively, "The Hall Pass," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information of individuals ("you" or "your") who visit our pre-launch landing page or otherwise interact with us in connection with the proposed Hall Pass venue and brand to be located in or around Hayward, California (the "Services"). This policy applies to information collected through this site, by phone, by email, by SMS/MMS, and through any related forms or events.

By submitting information to us or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not submit information or use the Services.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly: first name, last name, email address, telephone number, referral source (how you heard about us), marketing consent status, and any other information you voluntarily submit through our reservation form, messages, replies to our SMS, or correspondence with us.

Information collected automatically: IP address, general geographic location derived from IP, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, timestamps, and similar technical and analytics data necessary for security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and site operation. We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for these purposes.

Information from third parties: where applicable, information from email delivery, SMS gateway, hosting, analytics, or fraud-prevention service providers acting on our behalf.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To add you to our pre-launch interest list and reservations.
• To send you launch announcements, opening details, reservation information, event invitations, promotions, and related updates by email and/or SMS/MMS, in each case where you have provided the applicable consent.
• To respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
• To operate, secure, and improve the Services, prevent fraud and abuse, and ensure technical functionality.
• To comply with legal obligations, court orders, subpoenas, and regulatory requests, and to exercise or defend legal claims.
• For analytics and aggregated reporting, including measuring campaign performance and visitor engagement.

4. SMS / Text Messaging Program

By checking the consent box on our reservation form and submitting your phone number, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated marketing and transactional text messages (including SMS/MMS) from The Hall Pass at the mobile number you provided. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. You may receive a one-time confirmation text to complete your opt-in.

Reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe from our text messages. Reply HELP for help. For additional help, contact us at the email address below. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

5. Email Marketing

We send promotional and transactional emails consistent with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You may opt out at any time, and we will honor the request within the timeframes required by law.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:

• Service providers: email and SMS platforms, hosting providers, analytics providers, customer-relationship tools, fraud-prevention and security providers, and similar vendors that process information on our behalf and are contractually limited to that purpose.
• Affiliates and subsidiaries: our parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and related entities for the purposes described in this Policy.
• Legal and safety: government authorities, law enforcement, courts, regulators, and other parties when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or respond to illegal activity, fraud, threats to safety, or to protect our legal rights.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, joint venture, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as a business asset.
• With your consent: any other party with your direct consent.

We do not share telephone numbers collected for SMS marketing with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes.

7. Cookies & Tracking

We may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, evaluate site performance, and support marketing. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through browser settings; blocking cookies may affect site functionality. We currently do not change behavior in response to Do-Not-Track browser signals; we honor recognized opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) where required by applicable law.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. We may retain de-identified or aggregated information indefinitely.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You provide information at your own risk.
