Information Collection and Use

Last Updated: January 2026

BarRanking.org ("we," "our," or "us") operates barranking.org (the "Service"). This document outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Personal Information We Collect

Information You Provide: When you use our booking inquiry service, we collect personal information including your name, email address, phone number, and reservation preferences. This information is necessary to process your venue booking requests.

Automatic Information: We automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This helps us improve our service quality.

Cookies and Tracking: Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and remember your preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to: facilitate venue booking inquiries and connect you with sports bars; improve our website functionality and user experience; send important updates about your booking requests; analyze usage patterns to enhance our service offerings; and comply with legal obligations and protect our legitimate interests.

Information Sharing

We share your information only in specific circumstances: with sports venues when processing your booking requests (limited to necessary contact and reservation details); with service providers who assist in website operation and booking facilitation; when required by law or to protect legal rights; and in connection with business transfers, mergers, or acquisitions (with advance notice).

We never sell personal information to third parties for marketing purposes or share your data with unauthorized entities.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include encrypted data transmission, secure server hosting, regular security assessments, and limited access controls.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but maintain industry-standard protections.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Correction: You have the right to access, update, or correct your personal information. Contact us to review or modify your data.

Data Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements. We will process such requests within reasonable timeframes.

Communication Preferences: You can opt out of promotional communications while continuing to receive essential service-related messages.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Booking inquiry data is typically retained for one year to facilitate follow-up services and resolve any issues.

International Users

Our services are primarily intended for users within Canada. If you access our website from outside Canada, your information may be transferred to and processed in Canada, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child, we will take steps to delete such information.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated through website notices or email notifications. Your continued use of our services following updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
