Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
At IKFW Reviews, we value your trust and are committed to protecting the privacy of parents, visitors, and reviewers who use our platform. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how it is used, and the choices you have regarding your data.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways when you interact with our website:
A. Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Review Submissions: When you write a review, we collect the reviewer name or display name you provide, the review title, ratings, written feedback, child's age or participation details if shared, city, and season of the event.
- Account & Sign-In Data: If you sign in or authenticate (such as via Google Sign-In or email authentication), we receive basic profile information including your name, verified email address, and profile photo provided by the identity service.
- Communication Data: If you contact our support or moderation team, we collect your email address and message contents to respond to your inquiry.
B. Automatically Collected Information
When you browse our platform, standard technical information may be automatically logged, such as your browser type, device information, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and general geographical location (country/city level via IP address).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following legitimate purposes:
- To display, organize, and publish parent reviews, ratings, and feedback on the website.
- To authenticate reviewers, maintain account security, and verify genuine participation.
- To detect, investigate, and prevent spam, fraudulent entries, abuse, and violations of our review policies.
- To analyze site traffic, optimize user experience, and ensure fast, reliable performance.
- To respond to user inquiries, policy questions, or content moderation requests.
3. Public Information vs. Private Data
Public Display: The display name you choose, review title, rating score, written review commentary, city, and event season are published publicly so other parents can read your feedback.
Private Data: Your private email address, authentication tokens, and administrative data are never published or publicly disclosed on the website.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
We use essential cookies and browser storage technologies to maintain secure user sessions, remember authentication state, and maintain platform security. You can adjust your browser settings to reject cookies; however, certain interactive features (such as signing in or writing reviews) may not function properly without session cookies.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform (such as cloud hosting, database management, and authentication services), strictly under confidentiality and data protection obligations.
We may also disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety, rights, or integrity of our users and platform.
6. Data Security & Retention
We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We retain review data for as long as necessary to provide an authentic, historical archive of parent experiences.
7. Your Data Rights & Choices
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, or request the deletion of your account and submitted reviews. To submit a data request, please contact our moderation team.
8. Children's Privacy
IKFW Reviews is designed for parents, legal guardians, and adult event participants. We do not knowingly collect personal contact information directly from children under 13. Parents who share experiences regarding their children's participation are advised not to include sensitive personal identification numbers or direct child contact information in public reviews.
9. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements to our practices or operational changes. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when revisions took effect.
