The Playpen Enterprises LLC operates the ChiVibe public website and the optional Chicago Pulse newsletter. Our business postal address is 875 N Michigan Ave Ste 3620, Chicago IL 60611. Contact hello@chivibe.com about the website, newsletter or these terms.
Chicago Pulse provides daily email updates about Chicago openings, neighborhood guides, and ChiVibe. Subscription is optional and requires confirmation of your email address. Use an address you control. You may unsubscribe through the newsletter’s unsubscribe link or request help at hello@chivibe.com.
Newsletter subscription alone does not create an account, membership, purchase, ticket, reservation or event-access agreement. It does not enroll you in another brand’s marketing or CRM sales outreach.
Articles and newsletters provide information. Opening dates, schedules, prices, availability and other details can change; verify important details directly with the relevant venue or provider. A mention or link alone does not reserve admission or guarantee availability. Transactions made with an independent provider are handled by that provider under its applicable terms.
Do not submit another person’s email address without authority, interfere with the website or signup service, or use it to send unwanted messages. Do not submit sensitive personal, financial or medical information through general website forms. These terms do not grant rights to reuse content owned by others.
Our Privacy Policy describes the site’s and newsletter’s information practices, individual open/click measurement, retention and privacy-request options. The newsletter checkbox requests newsletter consent; it is not an agreement to an unrelated purchase or transaction.
Contact hello@chivibe.com with questions, corrections or service concerns. Updated terms will be identified by the version and effective date on this page. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

The Playpen Enterprises LLC operates chivibe.com and the ChiVibe Chicago Pulse newsletter. Our business postal address is 875 N Michigan Ave Ste 3620, Chicago IL 60611. Contact hello@chivibe.com with privacy questions or requests. This policy describes the public website and newsletter; subscribing does not create an account or enroll you in another brand’s marketing or CRM sales outreach.
Chicago Pulse provides daily email updates about Chicago openings, neighborhood guides, and ChiVibe. Subscription is optional. The Zoho Campaigns signup form requests your email address; first and last names are optional. Select the newsletter consent checkbox and confirm through the email sent to your address. A signup request alone is not a confirmed subscription.
The WordPress newsletter signup placements were retired on September 20, 2026. Previously, that form requested first name, last name and email, stored submissions in WordPress and emailed them to our administrative mailbox. Those submissions did not create a Zoho newsletter subscription and are not automatically imported into Zoho Campaigns. We retain and review legacy copies under the retention schedule below. The newsletter signup now uses the Zoho Campaigns confirmation-based process described above.
We use Zoho Campaigns to host the signup form and administer confirmation, newsletter delivery, subscription preferences and suppression. The form uses a CAPTCHA to reduce automated abuse. Zoho processes the information submitted through the form and technical information needed to operate and protect its service. We retain the consent wording associated with each form version and use subscription records to administer your preferences.
We measure individual email opens and link clicks to understand engagement. An email tracking image records an open when loaded; tracked links record clicks. These measurements can be affected by email privacy features and automated systems and do not always represent a person’s actions. This tracking is separate from website analytics. You can stop future newsletter marketing by unsubscribing; blocking remote email images may limit open measurement but does not stop link-click measurement.
Our WordPress website processes information you provide through its forms, comments and, where applicable, existing account features. Form messages may be stored in WordPress and delivered to an administrative mailbox so we can respond. Submitting an inquiry or comment does not subscribe you to the newsletter. Do not send sensitive personal, financial or medical information through general website forms.
Comments collect the submitted text, name and email, together with technical information such as IP address and browser information used for moderation and spam prevention. Approved comments and the name or profile information displayed with them are public. Our site uses automated spam protection. Existing account and administration features use login and preference cookies. Commenters may choose to save their details in browser cookies for convenience. Public newsletter signup does not require a WordPress account.
We use Google Analytics through Site Kit to understand website use. The site is configured for page and interaction measurement, including enhanced measurement and plugin conversion tracking. Google can receive information such as visited pages, browser/device information, identifiers and technical request information and can use cookies or similar technologies. See how Google uses information from partner sites and Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Browser cookie controls may restrict cookies, but some site functions may be affected; private browsing alone does not prevent third-party data collection.
Hosting and security services process technical requests to deliver the website and protect it against abuse. Cloudflare provides site security services, including Turnstile on applicable WordPress forms. Pages may contain content loaded from other websites, such as images or video; loading or interacting with that content can share request information with its provider. Linked external websites have their own privacy practices.
Information is handled by authorized operators and service providers supporting hosting, security, email, analytics and site administration. Newsletter information is processed in our Zoho Campaigns service; website analytics is processed by Google. These providers may process information in countries other than your own. Their applicable service and privacy terms also describe their processing. See Zoho’s privacy policy, Google’s privacy policy, Cloudflare’s privacy policy and Automattic’s privacy notice for visitors for spam-protection information.
We may retain or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements, respond to valid legal process, protect the service or address misuse. Newsletter consent does not authorize unrelated marketing or another brand’s outreach.
Our newsletter retention schedule distinguishes the following records:
Other website records are retained according to their purpose: to respond to inquiries, maintain published comments and applicable accounts, operate and secure the website, and meet legal obligations. Technical logs, service-provider copies and backups are subject to the applicable service’s retention and recovery processes. The newsletter schedule is not a claim that all WordPress or provider records share one deletion deadline. Contact us about a specific record or deletion request.
Use the unsubscribe link in newsletter emails or contact hello@chivibe.com to withdraw newsletter consent. Unsubscribe requests are processed promptly; the privacy-request response target below is not a waiting period for unsubscribe requests. Limited suppression and consent records may remain to honor your choice and document its handling.
Contact hello@chivibe.com to request access, correction or deletion of information associated with your subscription, inquiry, comment or account. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify and fulfill your request. We aim to acknowledge privacy requests within two business days and complete them within 30 calendar days, subject to any shorter applicable deadline. Available rights and exceptions depend on applicable law. Necessary legal, security, consent and suppression records may be retained; we will explain relevant limits when responding.
We will identify updates by changing the version and effective date on this page. If a change requires fresh newsletter consent, we will request it before using information for the new purpose.
