Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account information you provide when you register, such as your name, email address, and password.
• Content you create, including business listings, events, group posts, comments, reviews, help requests, photos, and profile details.
• Usage information, such as pages viewed and actions taken, collected automatically to operate and improve the Service.
• Device and log data, such as IP address and browser type, used for security, abuse prevention, and diagnostics.

How we use your information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• To display the content you choose to share with the community.
• To send you account, security, and (where you opt in) community notifications.
• To protect against spam, fraud, and abuse.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the Service — for example, our hosting and storage provider (DigitalOcean), our email provider (Resend), and our payment processor (Stripe) for paid business features. These providers may only use your information to perform services for us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the community.

Public content

Much of what you post — such as business listings, events, public group activity, and reviews — is visible to others by design. Please use discretion about what you share publicly. Your privacy settings let you control some of what appears on your profile.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.

Data retention & security

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and meet our legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your choices

You can review and update your profile and privacy settings at any time, and you may request deletion of your account by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, reach out via our contact page.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes may be communicated through the Service.
