Privacy Policy

BlakeSt is a private members club at 301 NE Blake Street, Bentonville, Arkansas. This page covers two things: the text messages we send to members, and the social accounts members can add to their profile.

Text messaging

This section covers the text messages BlakeSt sends to members, and the mobile numbers and consent we keep to send them.

What we collect

• Your name and mobile number.
• A record of your consent: when you agreed, where, and the exact wording you agreed to.
• The texts we send you and the replies you send us, including HELP and STOP.

How we use it

Only to send the texts you signed up for: account and service notifications (order updates, reservation confirmations, billing notices), and replies from our staff when you text the club.

Sharing

We do not sell, rent or share your mobile number, or your text-messaging opt-in data and consent, with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

The only outside company that handles your number is the messaging provider that delivers our texts (Twilio), and only to deliver them. We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

Stopping texts

Reply STOP to any message and we will stop texting you. Reply START to sign up again, or HELP for help. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

How long we keep it

We keep your number and consent record while you are a member, and keep opt-out records so we never text a number that asked us to stop. Ask us and we will delete your number from our texting records.

Our other privacy policy

How BlakeSt handles website and email information is described at blakest.com/privacy-policy. Where that policy mentions sharing information with third parties, it does not apply to mobile numbers or text-messaging consent, which are covered only by this page.

Social accounts

Members can add their social accounts to their BlakeSt profile, in the member app under Profile, then Social accounts. There are two ways to do it, and what we keep is different for each.

If you type in a link

We keep the link, and nothing else. We don’t look at the account behind it.

If you connect an account by signing in

When you sign in to a platform from BlakeSt, we keep:

• Your name and profile picture from that platform.
• A copy of that picture in our own storage. We refresh it once a week so it stays current.
• The sign-in tokens the platform gives us, so we can do the above for you.
• The wording you agreed to when you connected, so we can show you what you said yes to.

How the team uses it

Your connected picture can be used as your photo at the club. Where a platform allows it, an AI model reads your recent public posts and drafts a few short notes the team could use to welcome you warmly, like a favorite coffee or a trip you mentioned. Sensitive topics are skipped. Only the team sees these drafts, and a team member reviews each one before it’s saved. Nothing is added to your profile automatically. LinkedIn gives us your name and picture only, never your posts.

Disconnecting

You can disconnect at any time from your Social accounts page. Disconnecting deletes the sign-in, the stored picture and any drafted notes that haven’t been reviewed yet. Notes the team already saved stay on your profile.

Sharing

We never sell this information or share it outside BlakeSt. The AI model that drafts notes is only sent the text of your recent public posts for that purpose.
