Privacy Policy
This site is owned and operated by The Crooked Key Society, LLC. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. It applies to all users of our website (crookedkeysociety.com) and other related websites, services, and products, in compliance with applicable global data protection laws, including GDPR and CASL.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect the following types of information:

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use your information for legitimate business interests, including:
Processing transactions and sending order confirmations

Enhancing your user experience on the site
Sending newsletters, promotions, and event information (if opted-in)
Personalizing content and offers

Screening for fraud or suspicious activity
We do not sell or rent your personal data. You can take that to the graveyard and bury it.
Your information may be shared only with trusted vendors who assist us in operating our business—primarily the small business that handles our event ticketing. That’s pretty much it.

THE NEWSLETTER (OR LACK THEREOF)
Yes, we technically have a newsletter. But between ghost tours, haunted house prep, and trying to remember what day it is, we don’t get it out very often. There have only been a few issues scattered over several years. We keep trying. One day, it may arrive in your inbox like a long-lost letter from the grave. But until then, know that we’re more focused on giving great tours than monthly email blasts.
DATA PROTECTION & SECURITY
We take reasonable measures to safeguard your personal data. This includes using secure servers, encryption, and access controls. While no system is ever fully secure, we work hard to protect your information.
