Privacy Policy
UPdated: October 7, 2026
The Sarasota Social respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how The Sarasota Social LLC (“The Sarasota Social,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) may collect, use, store, and share information when you visit TheSarasotaSocial.com, communicate with us, advertise with us, interact with our Hospitality Amenities Guides, or use our related services.
Information We May Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, business name, email address, telephone number, mailing or business address, website, social media information, advertising information, and other information you choose to provide when contacting or doing business with us.
If you purchase advertising or other services, we may also collect information necessary to process and manage your order. Payment transactions may be processed by third-party payment providers, and The Sarasota Social may not directly receive or store your complete credit or debit card information.
We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website or interact with our digital services, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website, approximate location, and general website usage information.
How We Use Your Information
We may use information we collect to operate and improve The Sarasota Social; respond to inquiries; communicate with advertisers and hospitality partners; create and manage advertising campaigns; process payments; provide customer service; deliver requested products or services; manage our Hospitality Amenities Guides; send business, promotional, or marketing communications; analyze website and advertising performance; prevent fraud or misuse; and comply with applicable legal requirements.
We may also use information to better understand how visitors and guests interact with businesses featured through The Sarasota Social.
QR Codes & Advertising Analytics
Advertisements appearing in The Sarasota Social Hospitality Amenities Guides may contain trackable QR codes.
When a QR code is scanned, certain information may be collected automatically, including the date and time of the scan, device type, approximate geographic location, and other available technical or engagement information.
This information may be used to measure advertising engagement and may be shared with the advertiser associated with that QR code.
We do not represent QR-code location information as identifying a visitor's exact physical location unless the technology being used expressly provides and lawfully permits such information.
Cookies & Website Analytics
TheSarasotaSocial.com may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function properly, understand website traffic, remember preferences, measure advertising effectiveness, and improve the visitor experience.
Third-party services used on our website may also place cookies or collect information according to their own privacy policies.
You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.
Email & Marketing Communications
If you provide us with your email address or other contact information, we may use it to communicate with you regarding our services, advertising opportunities, business updates, promotions, or other information that may be relevant to your relationship with The Sarasota Social.
You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe option provided in the email or by contacting us.
We may still send non-promotional communications when necessary to administer an existing business relationship or transaction.
How We Share Information
The Sarasota Social does not sell your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
We may share information with trusted service providers that assist us in operating our business, such as website hosting providers, email providers, payment processors, analytics providers, printing or production partners, advertising technology providers, and other companies that provide services on our behalf.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, court orders or legal processes; protect our rights or property; prevent fraud or misuse; or protect the safety of The Sarasota Social, our customers, partners, or others.
Third-Party Websites & Services
Our website, advertisements, QR codes, Hospitality Amenities Guides, social media pages, and other materials may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
Once you leave a website or service controlled by The Sarasota Social, the privacy practices of that third party apply.
The Sarasota Social is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, products, or services of third-party websites or businesses.
Social Media
The Sarasota Social maintains a presence on social media and other third-party platforms. Information you provide or make publicly available through those platforms is subject to the privacy policies and terms of the applicable platform.
Interactions with The Sarasota Social through social media may also be visible to other users depending on your account and privacy settings.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic communication, database, or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We may retain personal and business information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business and financial records, fulfill contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and support legitimate business purposes.
Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we may take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
You may contact us to request that we update or correct personal information you have provided to us or to ask questions about how your information is being used.
Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate business, contractual, accounting, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes even after such a request.
