5. Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Our website and third-party services use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Pixels and similar tools can send information about page visits and interactions to the service providing them.

  • Website functionality: cookies and similar technologies support sessions, form security, online checkout, and chat features.
  • Google Analytics: analytics tools help us understand traffic, referring sources, and how visitors use the website. We use Google Tag Manager to manage website tags; the individual tags determine the data collected.
  • Meta Pixel: our website includes Meta's tracking pixel, which sends website activity and device or browser information to Meta. This can support advertising measurement and personalized advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and other services, depending on settings.

Third-party providers may associate information from our website with other information they hold about you, including an account you have with them. Depending on the provider and your settings, collection can occur when a page loads, before you interact with a feature.

Read the Google Privacy Policy and Meta Privacy Policy for details. See Your privacy choices below for ways to manage cookies and advertising preferences.

6. Embedded content and external websites

Our website includes embedded YouTube videos and links to outside services, including maps, review websites, and social media pages. Embedded content may communicate with its provider when the page loads or when you interact with it, and may use cookies or similar technologies.

When you follow an external link or use a third-party feature, that provider's privacy practices also apply. YouTube's handling of information is described in the Google Privacy Policy linked above. We do not control the privacy practices of external websites.

7. How information is shared

We share information in the following circumstances:

  • Business services: with providers that support reservations, payments, chat, hosting, communications, website maintenance, and related operations.
  • Analytics and advertising: with providers receiving information through the tools described in this policy, subject to the settings and choices that apply to those tools.
  • Legal and safety purposes: where reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, investigate fraud, resolve disputes, or protect people, property, and legal rights.
  • Business changes: as part of a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable law.
  • At your direction: when you ask us to share information or authorize a particular disclosure.

8. Participant photos

Participant photos may appear on our website or our social media pages. If a photo of you or your child appears and you would like it removed, please contact us with enough information to identify the image, such as the page address and the date of your visit.

We will review your request and respond as required by applicable law. Removing an image from pages we control may not remove copies that other people or websites have saved or shared.

9. Retention and security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including managing reservations, responding to inquiries, maintaining required accounting records, preventing fraud, and resolving disputes. Retention depends on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

NoEscape is based in the United States. Our providers may process or store information in the United States or other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.

10. Children's privacy

Our online reservation, inquiry, and chat features are intended for adults, including parents and guardians arranging visits for children. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through these features. Parents or guardians should make reservations and contact us on their behalf.

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information directly through our website, please contact us. We will investigate and take appropriate steps, including deleting information where required by law.

11. Your privacy choices

  • Information you provide: you can choose what to submit. Some information is needed to complete a reservation or respond to a request.
  • Cookies: use your browser settings to manage or delete cookies and other site data. Blocking cookies can affect checkout, chat, and other features.
  • Google Analytics: Google offers an Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers. This tool applies to Google Analytics and does not disable other services or tracking technologies.
  • Advertising preferences: review the privacy and advertising controls available in your Google and Meta accounts. These settings may limit personalization without stopping all information collection.
  • Promotional email: if you receive marketing emails from us, use the unsubscribe instructions or contact us to stop them. We may still send communications needed to manage your reservation or answer your inquiry.

You can also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Depending on where you live and whether a law applies to our business, you may have additional rights, including rights relating to targeted advertising or certain disclosures of personal information.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Some information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, or dispute-related reasons. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. Browser and provider privacy settings may need to be adjusted separately for each device or browser you use.
