Privacy Policy

Overview

Chicago Awaits is operated by The Travel Spark Company LLC. This policy describes the information this site may process, the reasons for processing it, and the choices available to visitors. It is a technical and operational notice and should receive owner legal review before material business changes.

Information you provide

When an approved contact or newsletter form is enabled, the site may process the fields shown on that form. A newsletter should request only an email address by default. Forms are not treated as delivered until the configured transport confirms the result.

Technical information

The hosting environment may process IP address, browser details, timestamps, requested URLs, security events, and similar server records needed to deliver and protect the site. Wordfence and hosting security tools may process security-related request data. Retention depends on owner and provider settings.

Affiliate and booking links

Some travel links may be affiliate links. A provider may process a click, referral parameter, or booking activity under its own policy. Chicago Awaits does not complete bookings on this site unless an integration explicitly states otherwise.

Cookies and third parties

Essential cookies may support security, session state, or preferences. Nonessential analytics, advertising, maps, or embeds should not load until configured with any consent required by applicable law. Current third-party requests are documented during quality assurance.

Your choices

You may avoid optional forms and external booking links. Requests concerning owner-controlled information should use the approved contact path once active. Provider-controlled information remains subject to the provider’s process.

Changes

This policy may change when site functionality or legal requirements change. The posted version applies from its stated update date.
