At Kava Guide, accessible from www.thekavaguide.com, visitor privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy details the types of personal data we gather, how it is recorded, and the ways we utilize that information.

Health & Age Notice
Our content is strictly for informational and educational purposes. Kava products may be subject to legal age restrictions depending on your local jurisdiction.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information directly when provided by visitors, such as when submitting a listing request, question, or message via our site contact form. This information typically includes your name, email address, and any additional details included in your entry. If you sign up for site updates or news, we also collect your email address along with your provided name.
We also collect technical data automatically through routine analytics tools. Standard web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, track aggregate metrics like device information, browser type, IP addresses, referring links, and session duration. Additionally, interactive directory map features process general IP or usage details per the provider’s standard terms to render locations of interest.
Usage of Collected Information
We apply the gathered details to deliver, maintain, and enhance our guide resources and directory features. This includes rendering directory locations and community spots on interactive maps, addressing user inquiries, and evaluating directory listing submissions. We also send news, updates, and promotional content if you have given prior opt-in consent. Aggregate traffic data is evaluated to improve site navigation, optimize performance, protect against unauthorized usage, and maintain overall platform security.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Kava Guide uses standard cookies to retain user preferences and log page visits across our site to optimize layout and performance. Performance and analytics cookies placed via Google Analytics help evaluate visitor patterns, while embedded map tools deploy necessary session cookies to render interactive map elements correctly. You may choose to restrict or disable cookies through your web browser preferences at any time.
External Services & Third-Party Links
Our platform links out to external venues, vendors, resources, and embedded services. Key third-party providers integrated into our site include Google Analytics for traffic measurement, Google Maps for interactive directory visuals, and email distribution tools for newsletter management. We do not manage or control the privacy policies of external platforms, and we recommend reviewing the privacy notices of any third-party sites reached through our directory or embedded map links.

Protection for Minors
