Who we are
Vibe Tampa (vibetampa.com) publishes local news, events, and things-to-do coverage for Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the surrounding Tampa Bay area.
Affiliate links
Some articles include ticket-purchase links through Ticketmaster’s affiliate program. If you buy tickets through one of those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects which events we choose to cover or what we say about them.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email may be checked against the Gravatar service; once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible publicly alongside it. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and auto-approve your future comments instead of holding them for moderation.
Media
If you upload images to the site, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in a cookie for convenience on future comments. Standard WordPress login/session cookies apply for site staff.
Embedded content
Articles may include embedded content (e.g. maps, videos) from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly, and that site’s own privacy policy applies to it.

Questions about this policy or the site generally can be sent through the contact page.
