Privacy Policy

Accounts

Signing in is optional. If you sign in, The Daily Flock collects your account identifier, the name supplied by your sign-in provider, your email address or phone number, and your sign-in method. We use this information to verify your account and support account-based participation.

We use your account to keep one Name the Chicken vote per person, save your Where's the Chicken? streak, count one upvote per person on the Dare Board, and one reaction per person on gripes and confessions. Signed-out visitors can still play; guesses stay on that browser and no streak is kept.

Dares, gripes, confessions and word suggestions you send are reviewed before anything is shown. A nickname is optional (confessions take no name at all); don't include personal details.

Contact contact@thedailyflock.com with privacy questions or to delete your account.

Phone verification and SMS consent

The Daily Flock collects your phone number, SMS opt-in and policy-agreement timestamps, and verification status to send requested one-time verification codes and record your consent. The Daily Flock Verification sends a code only when you request one. We do not use verification consent to send marketing texts.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Service providers may process your phone number and verification messages solely to deliver the verification service. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. You can also contact us through thedailyflock.com or email contact@thedailyflock.com.

Belmont enrollment and chat content

For initial Belmont enrollment, we use your browser location to check campus presence before requesting a code. Coordinates are used for this check and are not stored in your enrollment record. We retain your verified account identifier and phone number to recognize membership from anywhere.

When you submit chat content, we collect the message, account identifier, submission time and any reports for displaying conversations, enforcing community rules and moderation. An anonymous display name does not make a post anonymous to the owner: the verified account remains linked for moderation. Do not include another person's personal information in a message.

Newsletter and giveaway emails

We collect email addresses for newsletter subscriptions and giveaway entries. We use them to send Daily Flock updates and contact giveaway winners. We never sell or rent email addresses.

You can unsubscribe or request deletion anytime by emailing contact@thedailyflock.com.

Your Flock profile

Members can answer optional questions about how they do Nashville: neighborhoods, interests, nights out, budget feel, whether they drink, renting or owning and lease-end month, teams, kids, pets, birthday month (month only) and military service. Every question is optional and can be changed or cleared anytime at /my-flock. We use answers to choose what to show you and to count extra giveaway entries.

We never sell your profile or share it with venues, apartment buildings or sponsors. Sponsors may see totals, like how many members are into live music, and any answer shared by fewer than 5 members is never shown. Answers about drinking and military service are kept private. We don't ask for your full birth date, street address, income, religion or health. Email contact@thedailyflock.com to export or delete your profile.

Visits and tracked links

We count clicks on our tracked links (/l/...) and basic page visits to see what is useful. We do not build advertising profiles.

Outside sites

Listings may link to outside sites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply when you visit them.

Age requirements

The site is for ages 13 and older. Giveaways are for adults 18 and older, subject to the giveaway rules.

Policy updates

We may update this policy as the site changes. The date above shows the latest update. Contact contact@thedailyflock.com with questions about this policy.
