our local business directory, newsletter emails, and any related content and services (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:

in email and other electronic messages between you and the Services, and

when you interact with our ads, sponsorships, and embedded tools that link to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected:

by third parties (including advertisers, sponsors, analytics providers, or linked websites) that may link to or be accessible from the Services.

By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility (18+)

Our Services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe we may have collected information from someone under 18, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

3. Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect information in three primary ways: (1) information you provide, (2) information collected automatically, and (3) information from service providers and partners.

A. Information You Provide to Us

Depending on how you use the Services, you may provide:

Email address (e.g., when subscribing to the newsletter)

Name (optional, if you submit it)

Business information (if you submit or purchase a directory listing), such as business name, category, contact info, website, location, photos, and description

Payment-related information (for paid directory subscriptions): billing name and billing contact details. We do not store full payment card numbers; payments are processed by third-party payment processors.

Communications you send us (e.g., emails to support)

B. Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit our sites or open/click newsletter emails, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

Device and browser data (browser type, OS, device identifiers)

Log and usage data (pages viewed, referring pages, time/date stamps, interactions)

IP address and approximate location inferred from IP (generally city/region level)

Newsletter engagement data (email opens, link clicks, and general engagement metrics)

C. Cookies, Pixels, and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels (including email tracking pixels), tags, and similar technologies to:

run the sites,

prevent spam/fraud,

understand usage and improve content,

measure newsletter performance (e.g., opens/clicks), and

attribute signups (e.g., which page or post led to a subscription).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some site features may not work properly.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use information we collect to:

deliver the newsletter and directory services

operate, maintain, and improve the Services

personalize content (for example, improving what we feature based on engagement trends)

respond to support requests and communications

process directory subscription purchases and manage listings

measure performance of content, sponsors, and campaigns

detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical issues

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in the following circumstances:

A. Service Providers

We may share information with vendors that help us operate the Services, such as:

newsletter/email delivery platforms

analytics providers

website hosting, security, and anti-spam tools

payment processors (for directory subscriptions)

customer support tooling

These providers are permitted to process data only to perform services for us.

B. Sponsors, Advertisers, and Affiliate Partners

If you click a sponsor link or an affiliate link, the third party may collect information directly from you (or via their own cookies/tracking). Their use of your data is governed by their privacy policies, not ours.

We may report aggregated performance metrics (e.g., total clicks, total subscribers, general location breakdowns) to sponsors/advertisers. Aggregated data is not intended to identify you.

C. Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to:

comply with law, regulation, legal process, or government request

enforce our Terms of Use

protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, users, or the public

prevent fraud or security threats

D. Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Your Choices and Controls

A. Unsubscribe from Emails

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email. Unsubscribing stops future emails, but we may retain limited records as described under “Data Retention.”

B. Cookies / Tracking Controls

You can adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

C. Opting Out of Certain Analytics

Depending on the providers we use, you may be able to opt out of certain analytics tracking via browser controls or provider tools.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:

provide the Services (e.g., keep your email on the list while subscribed),

comply with legal and accounting obligations,

enforce agreements, and

resolve disputes.

If you unsubscribe, we may keep limited information (for example, to maintain suppression lists to ensure we honor unsubscribe requests, and to prevent fraud/abuse).

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. Any transmission of information over the internet is at your own risk.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Services may include links to third-party sites (including sponsors and affiliates). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies.
