Privacy Policy
This page explains how Little Diggers collects, uses, and protects your information, and the terms under which you use our facilities and services. By visiting our play space or providing your contact information, you agree to both the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use described below.
Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
When you visit Little Diggers Play Space, we may collect the following information from accompanying adults (never directly from children):
- Phone number — provided voluntarily at check-in to receive SMS session-expiration reminders
- Name — to address you in communications and for check-in records
- Email address — if voluntarily provided for service-related updates
- Children's names and dates of birth — collected via our digital liability waiver for safety, session management, and age verification. This information is provided by the accompanying guardian, not by the child directly.
We do not solicit information directly from children under 13. All information about minors — including names and dates of birth — is provided by an accompanying adult guardian via our liability waiver process.
\Website Tracking Technologies (Cookies)
In addition to the information described above, our website uses tracking technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to understand how visitors use our site.
- Types of data collected: page views, timestamps, URLs visited, referring pages, and device/browser information.
- Purpose: this data is used to power personalized marketing campaigns, automated communications, and audience segmentation, and to help us understand and improve how visitors use our website.
- Managing cookies: most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may affect how parts of our website function. Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional cookie consent controls on our site.
2. SMS Notification Program
Little Diggers Play Space operates an SMS notification program for the sole purpose of alerting guardians when their child's play session is nearing its end.
- Program description: We send automated SMS text messages to notify you when your play session is expiring, typically 10 minutes before the session ends.
- Message frequency: Message frequency varies. You will typically receive no more than 1–2 messages per visit.
- Rates: Message and data rates may apply. Check with your mobile carrier for details.
- To stop receiving messages: Reply STOP to any message at any time. You will receive one confirmation and no further messages will be sent.
- To re-enable messages: Reply START to the same number.
- For help: Reply HELP to any message, or contact us at contact@littlediggersplayspace.com.
Providing your phone number is entirely voluntary and is not a requirement for entry or use of our facility.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Sending SMS alerts when your play session is nearing expiration
- Communicating operational updates about our facility
- Improving our services
- Complying with legal obligations
We do not use your phone number to send marketing or promotional messages without your separate, explicit consent.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your mobile phone number or messaging consent with any third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- SMS delivery providers (such as Twilio) — solely to deliver the text messages you've consented to receive. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
- Legal compliance — when required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our guests and staff.
4a. Data Retention
If you voluntarily sign up for our email newsletter, your email address is stored in Constant Contact, our email marketing platform, solely to send you newsletter content you've opted into. Constant Contact does not use this data for its own purposes. This newsletter list is entirely separate from our SMS program — phone numbers collected at check-in for session-reminder texts are never added to Constant Contact or used for email or marketing purposes.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services or as required by applicable law. You may request correction or deletion of your information at any time by contacting us at contact@littlediggersplayspace.com. Opting out of SMS by replying STOP will remove your number from our messaging list immediately.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take your privacy seriously.
7. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. All data we collect is provided by accompanying adults or guardians.
8. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. To exercise any of these rights, or to opt out of SMS messages, contact us at contact@littlediggersplayspace.com.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
