Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines Look For Local ("we," "our," or "the Company") practices with respect to information collected from users who access our website at https://www.lookforlocal.com ("Site"), or otherwise share personal information with us (collectively: "Users").


Grounds for data collection
Processing of your personal information (meaning any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means; hereinafter "Personal Information") is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you and providing you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests, and for compliance with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject.


When you use the Site, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure, and other uses of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We encourage our Users to carefully read the Privacy Policy and use it to make informed decisions.


What information we collect?
We collect two types of data and information from Users.

The first type of information is unidentified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a User(s), which may be made available or gathered via your use of the Site (“Non-personal Information”). We are not aware of the identity of a User from whom the Non-personal Information was collected. Non-personal Information collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g., the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.) to enhance the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information on your activity on the Site (e.g., pages viewed, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.).


The second type of information is Personal Information, which is individually identifiable information that identifies or may, with reasonable effort, identify an individual. Such information includes:

  • Device Information: We collect Personal Information from your device. This includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g., MAC address and UUID), and other information related to your activity on the Site.
  • Registration Information: When you register on our Site, you will be asked to provide us with certain details such as your full name, email address, physical address, and other information.

  • Serving you advertisements and assisting in evaluating the success of our advertising campaigns and helping us retarget users.

Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined by the type of information collected and its purpose, bearing in mind applicable requirements and the need to destroy outdated information at the earliest reasonable time. Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client personal data, account opening documents, communications, and anything else required by applicable laws and regulations.

We may rectify, replenish, or remove incomplete or inaccurate information at any time at our discretion.


Cookies
We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services.

A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while viewing a website. Cookies are helpful and can be used for various purposes, including navigating pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of features, remembering preferences, and improving interactions between you and our services. Cookies also ensure that the advertisements you see are relevant to you and your interests and compile statistical data on your use of our services.

The Site uses the following types of cookies:

a. 'Session cookies,' which are stored temporarily during browsing to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed.
b. 'Persistent cookies,' which are read only by the Site, saved on your computer for a fixed period, and are not deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are used to store your preferences for repeat visits.
c. 'Third-party cookies,' which are set by other online services that run content on the page you're viewing, such as analytics companies monitoring our web access.

Cookies don't contain personally identifiable information, but personal information stored about you may be linked to cookies. You can remove cookies via your device preferences, but if disabled, some features of our Site may not work correctly, limiting your online experience.

We also use "Google Analytics" to collect information about your use of the Site. Google Analytics collects how often users access the Site, what pages they visit, etc. We only use this information to improve our Site and services. Google Analytics collects your assigned IP address rather than identifiable information. We don't combine Google Analytics data with personally identifiable information. Google's use of this data is governed by Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.


Third-party collection of information
Our policy only covers the use and disclosure of the information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties or websites, different rules apply to their use or disclosure of your information. We encourage you to read each third party's terms and conditions and privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy doesn't apply to companies we don't own or control or individuals we don't employ or manage, including third parties we disclose information to as set forth in this Privacy Policy.


How do we safeguard your information?
We implement reasonable security measures to safeguard the Site and your information. However, we cannot be responsible for unauthorized access or abuse of our Site. We make no warranty that unauthorized access will be prevented.


Transfer of data outside the EEA
Some data recipients may be outside the EEA. We will transfer your data only to countries approved by the European Commission as providing adequate protection or through legal agreements ensuring an adequate protection level.


Advertisements
We may use third-party advertising technology to serve ads when you access the Site. This technology uses your usage information to serve relevant ads (e.g., placing third-party cookies on your browser).


You can opt out of many third-party ad networks operated by Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") and Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"). Learn more about opting out at NAI (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/) and DAA (http://optout.aboutads.info/#!/).


Marketing
We may use your personal information (name, email, phone, etc.) directly or through subcontractors to provide you with promotional materials about our services.

To respect your privacy, marketing materials offer a way to decline further offers. If you unsubscribe, we'll remove your contact details from our marketing distribution lists. Even after unsubscribing, we may send you essential communications, such as service announcements or administrative notices.


Please note that even if you have unsubscribed from receiving marketing emails from us, we may send you other types of important e-mail communications without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. These may include customer service announcements or administrative notices.


Corporate transaction

We may share information in the event of a corporate transaction (e.g. sale of a substantial part of our business, merger, consolidation or asset sale). In the event of the above, the transferee or acquiring company will assume the rights and obligations as described in this Privacy Policy.


Minors

We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy, especially in an online environment. The Site is not designed for or directed at children. Under no circumstances shall we allow use of our services by minors without prior consent or authorization by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us at: services@lookforlocal.com
