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 (“Policy”) covers Meow Wolf owned and operated websites and mobile applications (collectively “Sites”), and any other services offered by Meow Wolf that post a link to this Privacy Policy 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”).
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and is part of, our Terms of Use, which govern your access to the Sites and your use of the Sites and/or Services. If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please refer to the end of this Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.
By using the Services and/or Sites, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use. This 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.
If you are a resident of California or Nevada, please see the additional disclosures at the end of this Policy.
While using our Sites and Services, we may ask you to provide us with certain Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify you, directly or indirectly. The types of information we collect include:
We may also collect and store personal information about other individuals that you provide to us. If you use our website to send others (friends, relatives, colleagues, etc.) a product as a gift, information that may interest them or messages (such as invitations) through our system, we may store your personal information, and the personal information of each such recipient. Similarly, if you use our website to upload, share and/or distribute content (including videos, comments or other submissions), and such content contains personal information about others, such information may be stored in order to allow for such uploading, sharing and/or distribution. By providing such information, you acknowledge and agree that both you and the other individuals are based in the U.S. and that you have their consent for us to use their information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We automatically collect information when you use or interact with the Sites, including as follows:
We automatically collect information that your browser or mobile device sends whenever you or your users visit or use our Sites (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, device ID or other unique identifier, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
The types of tracking technologies we use to collect this information include:
Cookies. Cookies are files with 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, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personally identifiable information. However, they do allow third parties, such as Google and Facebook, to cause our advertisements to appear on your social media and online media feeds as part of our retargeting campaigns. If and when you choose to provide our Site with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site 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 not be able to use some portions of our Service.
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.
For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics and advertising, see the “Analytics and Advertising” section below.
We also collect information from other sources, including social networks, partners, and publicly available sources, and treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We collect, hold, use and disclose your information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, including for the following purposes:
Notwithstanding the above, we may use information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law.
We may disclose your information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. The categories of parties with whom we share information include:
Notwithstanding the above, we may share information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) except as prohibited by applicable law.
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor and analyze information on our behalf. Google provides tools to allow you to opt out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
In addition, we work with agencies, advertisers, ad networks, and other technology services to place ads about our products and services on other websites and services. For example, we place ads through Google and Facebook that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services. We may incorporate tracking technologies into our Sites (including our website and emails) as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services. Some of these tracking technologies may track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you (“Interest-based Advertising”).
The companies we work with to provide you Interest-based Advertising are required by us to give you the choice to opt out of receiving targeted ads. Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted ads from them, please visit: (i) for website targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices; and (ii) for targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).
We may use your information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these promotional communications from us by emailing us at [email protected], or following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send. Please note that you cannot opt-out of non-promotional emails, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or our ongoing business relations.
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
