Approved listings (business name, address, phone, website, photos, bio) are public. Owner account info (your name, email) stays private. Declined applications are kept briefly for internal recordkeeping, then deleted. You can request earlier deletion anytime.
- Reviews
Reviewer names are shown publicly. Emails submitted with reviews are used only for verification and are never displayed.
- Email List
We never sell or share your email outside the service providers listed above. Unsubscribe anytime via the link in any email, no questions asked.

We keep account and listing data while active, and mailing list emails while you're subscribed. Some information may be retained after deletion if required by law.
- Your Rights
You can request to know what personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, opt out of non-transactional communications, and opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell it). We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Contact us below to make a request.
