Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Who We Are

HockingHillsVenues.com is operated by Andy Smigelski under Scout Theory LLC. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or interact with our site.

Information We Collect

When you submit a quote request or contact form, we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number (if given), event details, and any message content. We also collect standard web analytics data (pages visited, referral source, device type) through privacy-respecting analytics tools.

How We Use Your Information

We use your contact information to respond to your inquiry and, when you request a venue quote, to connect you with venues that match your event needs. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your inquiry details with specific venues for the purpose of fulfilling your quote request — this is the core service the site provides.

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies necessary for site functionality. We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time on site, traffic sources). We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels.

Third-Party Services

Form submissions are processed through Google Sheets via Google Apps Script. Your data is subject to Google's privacy policy in that context. We may include affiliate links to lodging and travel services; clicking those links takes you to third-party sites with their own privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain form submissions for as long as needed to serve your inquiry and for our business records. You can request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us.

Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at smigelski.andy@gmail.com or by texting (614) 607-1230.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
