Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Kiderr ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate kiderr.com (the "Site"), a local business directory designed to connect parents and families with local party vendors, entertainers, venues, and event services.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use our Site, submit quote inquiries, register for an account, or list your business.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better directory and booking experience for families and vendors. This includes:

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following core business purposes:

• To display and search business listings in our directory.
• To route quote inquiries and client messages directly to the selected vendor.
• To verify listing claims, issue trust badges (e.g. background check verification), and prevent fraud.
• To process vendor subscription fees and facilitate secure payments between families and vendors via Stripe Connect.
• To send magic link authentication emails, system notifications, and support updates.
• To optimize our search rankings and SEO directory layouts.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketing companies. We only share information under the following circumstances:

• With Vendors: When a family submits an inquiry form, the information is immediately sent to that vendor so they can respond directly.
• Service Providers: We share data with secure third-party platforms that help us run our service, such as Stripe (payment processing) and email service providers. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality terms.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.

5. Data Retention and Security

We take the security of your information seriously. All data is stored in secure databases with access restricted to authorized personnel. We do not store raw credit card numbers on our servers; all payment details are securely tokenized and handled by Stripe.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to request access to or a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
