How Boba.guide collects, uses and protects information.
This privacy policy explains what information may be collected when you visit Boba.guide, how that information may be used, when it may be shared and what choices may be available to you.
Who is responsible for Boba.guide?
Boba.guide is published by PROFESSIONAL MEDIA LLC. For purposes of this policy, “Boba.guide,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the website and the organization responsible for operating it.
This policy applies to information collected through Boba.guide and related communications. It does not control the privacy practices of independent websites, platforms, advertisers, payment providers, social networks or other third parties that may be linked from the site.
What information may Boba.guide collect?

This may include your name, email address, message content, business details, correction evidence, partnership information or other details you voluntarily send.

Messages from advertisers, contributors, shops, brands and partners may include professional contact details, proposals, contracts and payment-related records.
Public information
We may use publicly available business information when preparing local guides, editorial coverage, attribution records or responses to a request.
Why may we process information?

What legal grounds may apply?
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, processing may rely on consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, protection of vital interests or legitimate interests such as operating, securing and improving the site.
The applicable basis depends on the information, purpose, location and relationship involved. Consent may be withdrawn where processing depends on consent, although withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
How may cookies and similar technologies be used?
Cookies and related technologies may remember preferences, support security, measure traffic, diagnose technical problems, understand how pages are used and assist with advertising or affiliate attribution where those services are enabled.
Some cookies may be necessary for the site to function. Others may depend on consent or browser preferences. Available controls can vary by jurisdiction, device, browser and service provider.
More about cookie choices
The types of cookies used, their purposes and available controls are explained in our Cookie Policy.
When may information be shared?

How may commercial technologies affect privacy?
Boba.guide may use advertising, affiliate or measurement services. These providers may use cookies, identifiers or referral information to measure impressions, clicks, conversions or qualifying purchases.
Commercial relationships are disclosed under the relevant site policies. A third-party provider’s collection and use of data is also governed by its own terms and privacy practices.
What happens when you leave Boba.guide?
Links may lead to shops, brands, retailers, social platforms, reference sources or other external websites. We do not control their security, cookies, content or privacy practices.
Review the privacy notice of any external service before submitting information or completing a transaction.
How long may information be kept?
Information may be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including communication, security, accounting, dispute resolution, legal compliance and enforcement.
Retention periods vary according to the type of record, legal obligations, operational needs and whether a continuing relationship exists.
How is information protected?
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration.
No website, storage system or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Users should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary email or public forms.
What choices and rights may be available?
Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or information about the processing of personal data.

How can a privacy request be made?
Use our Contact Us page and clearly identify the privacy right you want to exercise. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity, authority and the scope of the request.
Authorized agents may be required to provide proof of authority. We may deny or limit a request when permitted by law, including when identity cannot be verified or an exception applies.
Can you contact a regulator?
Where applicable, you may have the right to complain to a data-protection or privacy authority in the country, state or region where you live or work.
We encourage you to contact us first when possible so we can review and address the concern directly.
Is Boba.guide intended for children?
Boba.guide is a general-audience informational website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.
If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information, they should contact us so the matter can be reviewed and eligible information can be deleted.
Can information be processed in another country?
Boba.guide and its service providers may process or store information in the United States and other countries where providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live.
Where required, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal data.

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in site features, service providers, legal requirements or business practices. The revision date will be updated when material changes are published.
