Your privacy choices

What you can ask for

See the personal data we hold about you; correct it; get a copy (export); or delete it.

Business owners can correct their Business Record themselves from the dashboard. A Business Record stays public as a record of a business, but personal details about you can be removed.

Opting out

We do not sell personal data and do not share it for targeted advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of for sale or targeted ads. We do not use your data for profiling that has legal effects.

If we ever send marketing email, every message will have an unsubscribe link.

Newsletters: you only get a newsletter after you confirm by email (the link expires after 48 hours). Every newsletter has a one-click unsubscribe and a "Manage your newsletters" link where you can change lists. We keep your email address, the lists you picked, when and on which page you agreed, and a one-way hash of your network address (to stop abuse), and we never sell or share your address.

U.S. state privacy rights

Residents of states with consumer privacy laws — including the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, and laws in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others — have rights to access, correct, delete and port their data, to opt out of sale, targeted advertising and profiling, and to appeal our decision. We honour these requests for everyone, wherever you live.

Minnesota residents may also ask for the list of specific third parties we have shared their data with, and ask why a decision was made about them.

Canadian users (PIPEDA)

If you are in Canada, we collect your personal information only to run your free business listing, your account and any newsletter you confirm, under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. You can ask to see or correct the personal information we hold about you by writing to hello@thelocalcore.com. We do not send marketing email to Canadian contacts without your express consent.

How to make a request

Email hello@thelocalcore.com from the address on your account. We will confirm your identity, reply within 45 days, and tell you how to appeal if we refuse. You may use an authorized agent.
