At Philly Time, your privacy matters. Like, really matters. We’re not here to sneak around collecting your personal data like a digital ninja. We’re here to help you explore great spots, eat amazing food, and discover what’s happening in Philly (and beyond)—without you wondering what’s happening with your info.
This Privacy Policy lays out how we collect, use, and protect the data you share with us. If you’re hanging out on Philly Time, reading our guides, or subscribing to our emails, this one’s for you. It’s our way of saying, “Hey, we’ve got your back.”
Sometimes you give us information directly—like when you subscribe to our newsletter or fill out a contact form. That might include your name, email, maybe your city or a fun comment about your favorite cheesesteak joint. Totally voluntary. Totally in your control.
Then there’s the behind-the-scenes stuff. Like most websites, we automatically collect general info to help us understand what you love and what you skip past. Things like the type of device you're on, your browser, how long you hung out on a page, or where you came from. This info helps us improve what we do and how we serve it to you.
If your device shares your general location (like your city, not your exact doorstep—we’re not that nosy), we might use that to recommend more relevant content. Think local events or seasonal tips that actually make sense where you are.
Simple: to make Philly Time better. Your data helps us fine-tune what we show you, how we communicate, and what stories we write next. It also helps us send you stuff you’ll probably want to read—like our latest guides, foodie finds, or travel inspiration—without overwhelming your inbox.
We do not sell your info. Not for money. Not for ad trades. Not even for hoagies.
We may share info with trusted third-party platforms (like email providers or web analytics tools) to help us run the site smoothly and improve your experience. But they only get the data they need to do their job—and only for us.
We take protecting your data seriously. We use secure tech (like HTTPS, encryption, and password protection) and keep our site up-to-date to block weird activity or digital snoops.
Still, it’s the internet—no system’s perfect. That’s why we recommend you use strong passwords and avoid sharing sensitive info in public forms or comment sections. Let’s be safe out there, together.
You get to decide how much you share and what you want from us. Subscribed to our emails and not feeling the vibe anymore? No hard feelings. There’s an unsubscribe link in every message. Use it anytime and we’ll take you off the list—no guilt trip.
Want to know what info we have on you? Ask. Want to change or delete something? Totally doable. Just drop us a message and we’ll take care of it—unless there’s a legal reason we have to keep it (yeah, that’s a thing).
Sometimes we link to other sites—restaurants, museums, ticket platforms, you name it. Once you leave Philly Time and hop to another site, their privacy policies apply. We can’t control how they handle your data, so if you’re unsure, give their policy a glance before sharing anything.
We may tweak this Privacy Policy as things change—like new tools we use, legal updates, or even just a clearer way to explain things. When that happens, we’ll update this page with the latest version.
Keep using the site after changes? That means you’re cool with the updated policy. You’re also welcome to check this page now and then, especially if you’re the kind of person who actually reads these things (we appreciate you, by the way).
If you ever feel uncertain about how we’re handling your data—or if you just want to say hi—don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re real people behind this screen, and we care about keeping things honest.
