Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 9, 2026

Grove City Bowl-O-Drome ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at https://grovecitybowlodrome.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the Site:

  • Contact and sign-up information — When you sign up for a league, the Summer Bowling Club, or another program, we collect your name, email address, and any other details you voluntarily provide on that form.
  • Payment information — Online payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number, expiry date, or CVV. Stripe's own privacy policy governs how payment data is handled.
  • Anonymous visit analytics — We log basic page-view data (page path, referrer, browser family, and timestamp) for our own internal statistics. We do not store your IP address. Instead, a one-way cryptographic hash (HMAC-SHA256) is generated from your IP plus a secret server key and immediately discarded — making it impossible to reverse-engineer or link back to you.

Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not store IP addresses in any log, database, or file.
  • We do not use third-party advertising networks or ad-tracking pixels.
  • We do not use behavioral tracking, cross-site tracking, or fingerprinting.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information to third parties.

Cookies

The Site does not set marketing or analytics cookies. A short-lived session cookie may be set if you use the online booking widget (provided by Placefull) or the Stripe checkout flow. These are strictly necessary for those features to function and are removed when you close your browser.

Photography & Media

Photos and videos are taken at Grove City Bowl-O-Drome during leagues, events, open bowling, and general visits. By entering our facility, you acknowledge that you may appear in photos or videos that could be published on our website gallery or our social media pages (Facebook and Instagram).

If you appear in a photo you would like removed, please contact us (see below) and we will take it down promptly.

Social Media Integration — Facebook & Instagram

We use two internal tools to share content to our social media pages:

  • Facebook Auto-Poster — An internal automation tool ("fb-poster") that publishes our own news articles to our Facebook Page automatically by reading our own RSS feed. It does not collect, store, or process any personal data belonging to website visitors or Facebook users. It uses a Facebook Page Access Token scoped exclusively to our Page and authorized by our Page administrator.
  • Instagram Sharing — When photos are uploaded to our website gallery by an administrator, there is an option to simultaneously share that photo to our Instagram page. This is a manual, admin-initiated action. No visitor or customer data is transmitted to Instagram; only the photo itself is shared.

Both integrations are private, internal utilities not available to any third party. The Facebook and Instagram APIs are used in accordance with Meta's Platform Terms. Meta's own Privacy Policy governs any data collected when you interact with our Facebook or Instagram pages.

How We Use Your Information

Information you voluntarily provide (e.g., league sign-ups) is used only to:

  • Process your registration or payment.
  • Contact you about the program you signed up for.
  • Send administrative notices related to your participation.

We do not use this information for marketing to unrelated third parties.

Data Retention

Sign-up and registration records are kept for the duration of the season or program plus a reasonable period afterward for our records. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us (see below).

Third-Party Services

The Site uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policy:

Children's Privacy

Our Site is a general-purpose local business website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Youth program registrations require a parent or guardian to complete the sign-up on behalf of their child.

Security

The Site is served exclusively over HTTPS. Sensitive credentials are stored on our server and never exposed publicly. We apply server-level security headers and follow current best practices to protect the Site and any data stored on it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
