Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 26, 2026

Welcome to Things to Do in Kansas City (https://thingtodoinkansascity.com/), a registered fictitious name and business division proudly owned and operated by Zenith Marketing Agency LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are dedicated to helping you navigate, explore, and learn about the Kansas City area, focusing on local events, neighborhoods, business listings, and curated top 10 recommendations.

Your privacy is incredibly important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, submit forms, or purchase advertising packages.

Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information about you in a variety of ways depending on how you interact with our site, forms, and billing endpoints.

Information You Provide Voluntarily (Active Collection)

  • Form Submissions & Personal Identifiers: When you interact with our Elementor contact forms (including our “Visitors & Locals” and “Businesses & Advertisers” views) or our footer newsletter subscription blocks, we collect the personal info you input. This may include your first name, last name, email address, phone number, and any custom message text you provide.

  • Automated Transactional & Billing Data: If you purchase an upgraded listing, sponsored ad package, or send a tip via our “Want to Buy Us a Beer?” feature, your payment is securely processed through our third-party payment processors (Stripe or PayPal).

    • Please Note: We do not store or collect credit card numbers on our servers. However, when a transaction completes successfully, a secure server-side bridge securely transfers your billing metadata (including full name, business info, and phone number) into our website database to automatically create and manage your commercial account profile.

Information Automatically Collected (Passive Collection)

  • Log and Usage Data: When you access our website, our servers automatically log standard data provided by your web browser. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on each page.

  • Device Data: We may collect data about the device you are using to access our site, such as device type and unique device identifiers.

2. Where Your Data is Managed (First-Party Architecture)

Unlike traditional websites that export your email address and profile details to external third-party cloud-based CRM systems, our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) infrastructure is entirely self-hosted. We utilize FluentCRM running locally inside our secure WordPress database. This means that your names, contact records, and form messages remain securely within our first-party control and are not shared with or stored on external cloud marketing platforms.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to keep our site running smoothly, manage business client accounts, and tailor your KC experience. Specifically, we use your data to:

  • Deliver the services, newsletters, event calendars, and information you request.

  • Process tips (“Buy us a beer”) and automatically manage invoicing/subscriptions for sponsored local business listings based on our established commercial relationship.

  • Analyze website traffic and user behavior to improve our content, neighborhood guides, and user experience.

  • Serve targeted advertisements and sponsored content via Google AdSense, Meta, and affiliate partners.

  • Respond to product inquiries, listing claims, support requests, and contact forms.

  • Protect against fraudulent transactions, verify human intent, and monitor against spam, theft, or unauthorized activity.

4. Third-Party Sharing and Data Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to anyone. However, we do share information with trusted third-party cloud networks to execute specific, secure operations on our behalf:

  • Web Analytics: Google Analytics (to track website traffic, site performance, and user demographics).

  • Payment Processors: Stripe and PayPal (to securely handle financial transactions via encrypted API tokens without storing card data).

  • Advertising Networks: Google Ads, Google AdSense, and Meta Pixel (to serve targeted display ads, sponsor banners, and measure ad performance).

  • Security & Spam Prevention: Anti-Spam by CleanTalk (form submissions are dynamically vetted via cloud-based IP verification blocks and behavioral analysis filters to verify human intent and eliminate automated bot submissions).

  • Business Partners: Future sponsorship networks (such as Expedia or Southwest Airlines) to provide relevant travel and local offers.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on our website to help customize the site and improve your experience.

  • What are cookies? Cookies are small text files placed on your device to track browser behavior.

  • Your Control: When you first visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies (like tracking and advertising pixels). You can also adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though some features of our site may not function properly as a result.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our website is directed to a general audience and is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete that information immediately from our database.

7. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures—including local database firewalls, hidden honeypot security metrics, and encrypted billing webhooks—to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the data you provide to us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse.

8. Your Privacy Rights & CAN-SPAM Adherence

Depending on where you reside, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of the data we hold about you.

  • Email Opt-Out: In accordance with CAN-SPAM compliance, every marketing or update email generated out of our FluentCRM platform maps dynamically to a valid universal footer containing a distinct, functional, single-click “Unsubscribe” link. You can opt-out of marketing emails instantly at any time.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our automated practices, data collection points, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.
