Privacy

What we collect

When you submit a business, we collect the business name, category, community, website, your name, your email, an optional phone number, and any notes you provide. We use this to review and publish the listing.

How we use it

Submission information is used only to evaluate and publish listings. We do not sell your personal contact information or share it for other organizations’ marketing. Public business contact details (name, category, community, website, phone) are displayed on the published listing at the business’s direction.

Analytics

This beta build does not run third-party analytics. Any future analytics will be disclosed here.

Newsletter

LocalBusiness NL is operated by Avensera Tech. Inc. Your subscription stays pending until you confirm the link we email you. We keep your email address, where and when you signed up, and the consent wording and version you accepted. Confirmation links expire after 24 hours.

Cloudflare stores newsletter subscriptions and consent records. We use Resend to send confirmation emails and newsletters and to manage email preferences. Resend stores customer data in the United States. Cloudflare may also process information outside Canada. We do not sell your email or share it for other organizations’ marketing.

Each newsletter includes an unsubscribe option. Unsubscribing from newsletters does not unsubscribe you from claim-status or other service messages you request. You can sign up and confirm again after unsubscribing, unless your address is blocked because emails bounced or were reported as spam. A newsletter signup does not automatically undo an unsubscribe from all marketing emails through Resend.

We will clear unconfirmed request details after 30 days. We will keep only the email and token records needed to honour unsubscribe links for at least 60 days after the latest confirmation email.

For confirmed subscriptions, we will keep consent evidence while subscribed and for three years after the subscription ends. We will retain the minimum opt-out and suppression records needed to prevent unwanted email while the email service operates, with an annual review of their necessity. Applicable legal holds can extend these periods.

Deleted live records may remain in Cloudflare D1’s seven-day recovery history. Resend has separate retention periods for email logs and backups; these do not determine how long subscription preferences are kept.

Before we open public signups, we will verify and enable these retention controls and review our providers’ data-processing arrangements. The local demo uses synthetic test addresses and sends no real email.
