Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to localbusinesssearch.com, our forms, newsletters and marketing emails, product and affiliate content, advertising campaigns, and official social media activity. A third-party site or service has its own privacy policy when you leave our website or interact directly with that provider.

2. Information we may collect

Information you provide

• Name, email address, phone number, company, and message details submitted through forms.
• Newsletter or marketing preferences and consent records.
• Information you provide when requesting services, responding to surveys, or communicating with us.
• Content and profile information made available when you interact with our social media pages.

Information collected automatically

• IP address, browser, device, operating system, referring page, approximate location, and timestamps.
• Pages viewed, links clicked, search activity, form interactions, campaign identifiers, and conversion events.
• Cookie, pixel, local-storage, and similar identifiers used for functionality, analytics, fraud prevention, advertising measurement, frequency control, and audience creation.

3. How we use information

• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and its content.
• Respond to inquiries, provide requested information, and deliver contracted services.
• Send newsletters, product updates, promotions, and other email communications where permitted.
• Measure content, affiliate, email, social, and advertising performance.
• Create, deliver, and optimize contextual, interest-based, retargeting, social, search, display, video, and programmatic advertising.
• Build and suppress advertising audiences, control frequency, attribute conversions, and prevent fraud.
• Comply with law, enforce our terms, and protect users, systems, and rights.

4. Advertising, analytics, and social media

We may work with advertising and measurement providers such as Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Pinterest, programmatic advertising platforms, analytics services, email providers, and comparable vendors. Depending on our configuration and your choices, these providers may receive identifiers, device or browser information, page activity, ad interactions, or conversion events. They may use this information under their own terms to measure campaigns, prevent fraud, personalize content or advertising, and build or match audiences.

Our social media pages are also governed by the platform’s privacy terms. Public comments, reactions, and posts may be visible to others. We may receive aggregated insights or account information that a platform makes available to page administrators.

5. Email and communications

We may send transactional messages in response to a request and marketing messages when we have consent or another lawful basis. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe mechanism. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent necessary service, security, or transaction-related messages. We may retain a suppression record so we do not add an unsubscribed address back to a marketing list.

6. Affiliate and merchant activity

Some product links are affiliate links. When you click one, the merchant or affiliate network may use cookies or identifiers to attribute a qualifying action or purchase. We may receive commission and reporting information, but merchants independently process payment, delivery, returns, and the personal information you submit to them. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

7. How information may be shared

We may share information with service providers that support hosting, content management, analytics, advertising, email, customer communications, security, affiliate attribution, and professional services. We may also disclose information to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate abuse, protect rights or safety, or complete a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale. We do not disclose personal information in exchange for money, but some advertising activities may be treated as “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain state laws.

8. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, including legal, accounting, security, dispute, suppression, and operational needs. Retention varies by data type and relationship. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection; to withdraw consent; and to opt out of targeted advertising, profiling, sale, or sharing. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where legally permitted. You may also use browser controls, device settings, industry opt-out tools, the choices described in our Cookie Policy, and our Data Deletion Instructions.

10. Children

Our services are directed to adults and businesses and are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information to us.

11. International use and changes

Information may be processed where we or our providers operate, subject to applicable safeguards. We may update this policy as practices, vendors, or law change. The date at the top identifies the current version, and material changes may be communicated through the site or another appropriate channel.
