Privacy Policy

Local Pomona ("we", "us") runs this website as a local guide and business directory for Pomona, California. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Account information: email address and sign-in details when you create an account (including via Google sign-in).
• Business claims and purchases: the businesses you claim and your promotion subscriptions. Payments are processed by our payment processor, Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
• Form submissions: information you type into listing, photo or contact forms.
• Technical data: basic device, browser and usage information collected automatically to keep the site secure and working.

How we use it

To operate your account, verify business claims, provide paid promotions, process billing, respond to requests, prevent fraud and improve the site. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Who we share it with

Service providers who host the site, handle authentication and process payments, under contracts that limit their use of your data; and authorities when required by law.
