This Privacy Policy explains how [Company legal name] (“The Everyday Local,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit this website, request our printed guide, claim an offer or contact us. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We only collect the information you choose to give us through our forms, plus limited technical data.
Information you give us
- Guide requests: your name, email address, street address, city and ZIP code, so we can mail the guide to your home.
- Offer claims: your name, phone number and ZIP code, and optionally your email address and a message, so the participating business can contact you about its offer.
- Advertising inquiries: your business name, your name, phone number, email address, city, business category and any message you send.
- Contact messages and newsletter sign-ups: your name, email address, city, ZIP code, your message, and whether you asked to receive each new edition by email.
Information collected automatically
When you use the site, our servers and hosting provider may record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. We use it to keep the site running, prevent spam and abuse (for example, limiting how often a form can be submitted), and understand how the site is used. [Describe any cookies, analytics or advertising tools used on the site, or state that none are used.]
How we use your information
- To mail you the printed guide and, if you ask, email you each new edition.
- To pass your offer claim to the business offering it.
- To respond to your questions and advertising inquiries.
- To operate, secure and improve the site, and to prevent spam, fraud and abuse.
- To meet our legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
How we share your information
- Participating businesses. When you claim an offer, we send the details you entered on the claim form to the business that made the offer. That business uses your information under its own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for how it does so. Please contact the business directly with questions about its use of your information.
- Service providers. We use companies that help us run the site and our operations, such as website hosting, email delivery, form processing, printing and mailing. They may only use your information to provide those services to us.
- Legal reasons. We may disclose information if we believe it is required by law or legal process, or needed to protect the rights, property or safety of The Everyday Local, our readers, our advertisers or others.
- Business transfers. If The Everyday Local is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
[Confirm and state whether you sell or rent personal information to third parties.]
Your choices
- Email. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us.
- Mail. To stop receiving the printed guide, contact us at [contact email] with your mailing address.
- Access, correction and deletion. You can ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it by contacting us at [contact email]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights; we will respond to requests as required by applicable law.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. [State retention periods, for example how long guide requests, offer claims and inquiries are kept.]
How we protect information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Our site links to the websites of participating businesses and other third parties. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page.
