Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how ShowMeDeals ("Service"), operated by Mystery School Media LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects information when you access or use our website at showmedeals.app. ShowMeDeals is a cannabis price aggregation platform — we aggregate publicly available dispensary pricing data and do not sell, distribute, or dispense cannabis products.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please discontinue use of the Service immediately.

2. Information We Collect

We are committed to collecting only the minimum data necessary to operate the Service. We categorize the information we handle as follows:

• Location & ZIP Codes: To calculate distances to nearby dispensaries, you may enter a ZIP code or authorize device-based geolocation. This information is processed on your device or resolved via a geocoding API to obtain coordinates. We do not persistently store your GPS coordinates on our servers, nor do we build location profiles.
• User Preferences:We use your browser's local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) to save interface preferences such as your default ZIP code, sorting selections, and filter options. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Server Logs: Our web servers automatically record standard technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, referring URL, pages visited, and request timestamps. These logs are used solely for security monitoring, abuse prevention, and performance optimization.
• Analytics (Plausible):We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across websites. Plausible generates aggregate, anonymized usage statistics (e.g., page views, referral sources, device types) without identifying individual visitors. Plausible is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. For more information, visit Plausible's data policy at plausible.io/data-policy.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We do not use cookies.We do not deploy first-party tracking cookies, third-party advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking pixels of any kind. Our analytics provider (Plausible) operates without cookies. User preferences are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage, which is accessible only by your browser on your device. You may clear or disable local storage through your browser settings, though doing so may reset your saved preferences.

4. Do-Not-Track Signals

Because we do not track users across websites or use cookies for advertising, the Service inherently respects Do-Not-Track (DNT) browser signals. Our analytics infrastructure (Plausible) does not engage in cross-site tracking regardless of your DNT setting. No additional action is required on your part.

5. Outbound Referrals & Third-Party Services

When you click a link to visit a dispensary menu (e.g., "Go to Store Menu"), we redirect you to the external dispensary's website. We may append referral parameters (such as utm_source=showmedeals.app) to outbound URLs so dispensaries can identify traffic originating from our platform. Once you leave showmedeals.app, your activity is governed by the third-party site's privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies before providing any personal information to third-party sites.

6. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party — for any purpose, under any circumstance.

We may disclose server log data only in the following limited circumstances:

• To comply with a valid legal process, subpoena, court order, or enforceable governmental request.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Mystery School Media LLC, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.
• To investigate or prevent fraud, security threats, or violations of our Terms of Service.

7. Data Retention

Server logs containing IP addresses and request metadata are retained for a maximum of ninety (90) days, after which they are automatically purged. Anonymized, aggregate analytics data generated by Plausible is retained indefinitely to track long-term usage trends. User preferences stored in your browser's local storage persist until you clear them manually or clear your browser data. We do not maintain user accounts, and therefore do not retain any account-based personal information.

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the integrity of the Service and your data. All communications between your browser and our servers are encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Our infrastructure is hosted on reputable cloud platforms with robust physical and network security controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Privacy Rights

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

• California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information. As stated above, we do not sell personal information. Because we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, there is typically no personal information on our servers to disclose or delete beyond temporary server logs. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email address below.
• Other U.S. State Privacy Laws: Residents of states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws (including but not limited to Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah) may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of the processing of personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
• All Users:You may clear your browser's local storage at any time to remove all locally stored preferences. You may request deletion of any server log data associated with your IP address by contacting us.

10. Age Restrictions

The Service is intended exclusively for individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, or at least eighteen (18) years of age with a valid medical marijuana card or recommendation. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be indicated prominently. Your continued use of the Service after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
