This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

This Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) covers Meow Wolf-owned and operated websites and mobile applications (collectively “Sites”) and any other services offered by Meow Wolf, including exhibitions, entertainment services, motion pictures and animations, consumer products and interactive services (“Services”). Meow Wolf refers to Meow Wolf, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we gather from people visiting our Sites and from individual users (“you,” “your,” or “users”) interacting with the Services and how we use, transfer, and secure such information.

The types of online technologies we use to collect information include:‍

Cookies. Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are text files placed in your computer’s browser to store your preferences.

Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

We use “cookies” to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may be unable to use some portions of our Sites.‍

Web Beacons. Web beacons (also known as Clear GIFs) are small pieces of code placed on a web page to monitor the visitor’s behavior and collect data about the visitor’s viewing of a web page. For example, web beacons can be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page.
