Privacy Policy

1. Data We Collect

The Local Stand collects the information needed to run the directory and your account. This includes:

• Account email: the email address you use to sign up and sign in.
• Stand details: the business name, location, hours, products, photos, and contact information you publish.
• Payment information: handled by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
• Analytics: aggregate usage data that helps us understand how the Site is used and improve it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to operate the directory, manage your Business Membership, send account-related emails, and communicate with you about your listing. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Email & Marketing

We use a third-party platform to send account and marketing emails on our behalf. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any message. Account-related emails (such as confirmations and policy notices) are sent as part of operating your account.

4. Residential Addresses

We do not publish exact residential addresses without the owner’s permission. We show city-level locations until an owner chooses to share more.

5. Data Retention & Security

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. We use reasonable measures to protect your data, but no method of transmission or storage is fully secure.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. To make a privacy request, contact us at Support@thelocalstand.com.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date. See also our Terms of Service and Cancellation & Billing Policy.
