This privacy policy outlines our approach to information gathering, usage, and sharing. It applies only to information collected by HayBD.com and does not cover information obtained or used by our affiliates through other means.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
We may collect, transmit, and store information about you in connection with your use of the Service, including any information you send to or through the Service. We use this information to provide the Service’s functionality, fulfill your requests, improve the Service’s quality, engage in research and analysis relating to the Service, personalize your experience, track usage of the Service, provide feedback to third-party businesses listed on the Service, display relevant advertising, market the Service, provide customer support, message you, back up our systems, allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security of the Service, and comply with legal obligations. Even when we do not retain such information, it must still be transmitted to our servers initially and stored long enough to process.
Account Information
When you create a HayBD.com account, we store and use the information you provide during that process, such as your first and last name, email address, zip code, physical address, and any other information you may provide, such as gender, phone number, or birth date. We may publicly display the first name and last initial you provide, as well as any photo or other content you submit during the account creation process, as part of your account profile. We also store and use any preferences you provide to personalize your user experience. You can modify some of this account information through your account settings. If you believe someone has created an unauthorized account using your personal information, you can request its removal by flagging it.
Public Content
Your contributions to the Service, such as photos, ratings, reviews, tips, lists, bookmarks, compliments, and posts, are intended for public consumption and are viewable by the public. Your account profile, including your first name, last initial, city, neighborhood, the month and year you created your account, profile photos, and list of friends, is also intended for public consumption, as is some of your activity through the Service, such as how you vote on other people’s contributions, where you check in, which contributions or users you follow, and which businesses you follow. You can limit the public visibility of some of these activities through your account settings.
Contacts
You can invite others to join or become your friend on HayBD.com by providing us with their contact information or by allowing us to access contacts from your computer, mobile device, or third-party sites. If you allow us to access your contacts, we will transmit information about your contacts to our servers long enough to process your invitations or friend requests.
Communications
When you sign up for an account or use certain features, you opt to receive messages from other users, businesses, and HayBD.com. You can manage some messaging preferences through your account settings, but certain administrative, transactional, or legal messages from HayBD.com cannot be opted out of. We may track your actions in response to the messages you receive, such as whether you deleted, opened, or forwarded such messages, and share that information with other parties to your messages. If you exchange messages with others through the Service, we may store them to process and deliver them, allow you to manage them, and review and disclose them in connection with investigations related to the use of the Service.
Transactions
If you initiate a transaction through the Service, such as making a reservation, joining a waitlist, or making a purchase, we collect and store information associated with your transaction, such as your name, phone number, address, email, and payment information, to process your transaction, send you related communications, and facilitate future transactions. We may use aggregated or anonymized information regarding those transactions for analytics and to improve our services. This information may be shared with third parties, and third parties may share such information with us, for the same purposes. We encrypt sensitive payment information using industry-standard technology.

We store information about your use of the Service, such as your search activity, pages viewed, date and time of visits, businesses called using our mobile applications, and transactions made through the Service. We also store information that your computer or mobile device may provide to us, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, Wi-Fi information, mobile carrier, phone number, unique device identifier, advertising identifier, location data, and requested and referring URLs and mobile applications. This information helps us improve the Service and personalize your experience. You may be able to limit or disallow our use of certain data through your device or browser settings.
Different Devices
You may access the Service through different devices and platforms, such as your mobile phone, personal computer, or other internet-connected devices, and through the HayBD.com website or mobile apps. The information we collect and store through these different uses may be cross-referenced and combined, and your contributions through one platform will typically be similarly visible and accessible through all other platforms.

If you represent a business on HayBD.com, we may collect and display information about you related to your business activities, such as a business name that may incorporate your individual name, or a publicly available business address that is also used as a home address.

Investigations and Legal Disclosures
We may investigate and disclose information from or about you if we have a good faith belief that such investigation or disclosure is necessary to comply with legal processes, such as search warrants, subpoenas, statutes, judicial proceedings, or other law enforcement requests. Additionally, this may be helpful to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service, or to protect our rights, reputation, property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public. For instance, if you flag or complain about content through the Service, we may share the substance of your complaint with the contributor of that content to provide an opportunity for the contributor to respond.
