Privacy Policy
Last updated May 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how LocalBizInsider ("LocalBizInsider," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information in connection with our website and services (the "Service"). The "Last updated" date shown on this page reflects when this policy was most recently revised. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you provide. When you contact us, request changes to a business listing, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, business affiliation, and the contents of your message.
Business information from public sources. We compile information about businesses from publicly available sources and from established third-party review platforms. This may include business names, addresses, phone numbers, categories, websites, hours, photos, ratings, and customer reviews. This information concerns businesses as commercial entities and is, by its nature, publicly accessible.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Service, we and our service providers may automatically collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits, including through cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use Information
We use information to operate, maintain, and improve the Service; to research and publish business profiles, guides, and related content; to respond to inquiries, corrections, and removal requests; to communicate with businesses we feature or contact; to analyze usage and measure performance; to protect the security and integrity of the Service; and to comply with legal obligations.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, content delivery, analytics, and email delivery), subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of LocalBizInsider, our users, or the public. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Service Providers
The Service relies on third-party providers for cloud hosting and content delivery, web analytics, and email communications. These providers process information only as necessary to provide their services to us and are bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service and to understand how it is used so we can improve it. Most browsers let you control or disable cookies through their settings; disabling cookies may affect some functionality. Where required, we will obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Business Listings and Removal
Business profiles are compiled from public and third-party sources to provide useful, factual information to the public. If you are an authorized representative of a featured business and believe information is inaccurate, out of date, or should be removed, contact us at hello@localbizinsider.com with the business name, city, and the specific request. We will review and act on verified requests promptly.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to operate the Service, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, resolve disputes, and comply with our legal obligations, after which we delete or anonymize it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal information about you, to object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@localbizinsider.com. We will respond consistently with applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for a general, adult business audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International Users
We operate in the United States, and information may be processed and stored there or in other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Service, you understand that information may be transferred to locations with different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.
Third-Party Links
The Service links to third-party websites, including business websites and review platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date on this page, and significant changes will be reflected here. Your continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
