Last Updated: April 30, 2026

The Hemingway Social Exchange (“The Hemingway,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit hemingsocial.com, RSVP for an event, join our mailing list, communicate with us, or opt in to receive text messages from us.

  • Browser type

  • Device type

  • Pages visited

  • Referring website

  • Date and time of visit

  • General usage information

Information from service providers
We may receive information from vendors that help us operate our website, manage RSVPs, send emails, send text messages, process forms, provide analytics, or host events.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Enforce our rights and protect against misuse

We do not use your information in ways that are inconsistent with this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent where required. The FTC has warned that quietly changing privacy commitments in a materially more permissive way may be unfair or deceptive.

3. Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may send you event invitations, updates, reminders, and related communications. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Even if you unsubscribe from promotional messages, we may still send non-promotional communications related to your RSVP, attendance, transaction, or direct inquiry.

4. Text Message Communications

If you provide your mobile number and opt in to receive text messages, you agree that The Hemingway may send you text messages related to events, invitations, RSVP reminders, confirmations, and related updates.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP or contact us at the information listed below.

We will honor opt-out requests as required by applicable law. FCC TCPA rules generally require consent for certain robocalls and robotexts, and FCC guidance recognizes that consumers may revoke consent through reasonable means.

Mobile information will not be shared, sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may share mobile information with service providers who help us send and manage text messages, but only as needed to provide those services on our behalf.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information with:

  • Website hosting providers

  • RSVP, ticketing, or event-management providers

  • Analytics providers

  • Payment processors, if applicable

  • Professional advisors, such as attorneys or accountants

  • Law enforcement, regulators, or other parties when required by law

  • Event partners or service providers as necessary to operate an event

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve performance, and measure engagement.

You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse or remove cookies. Some website features may not function properly without cookies.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to manage events, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our website and events are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

  • Access certain personal information

  • Correct inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of information

  • Obtain a copy of certain information

  • Opt out of certain uses or disclosures

  • Appeal a denied privacy request

Indiana’s Consumer Data Protection Act took effect January 1, 2026 and requires covered businesses to provide a clear, accessible privacy notice and consumer-rights process; it applies only when statutory thresholds and conditions are met.
