Information Collected
The information we collect when you register with www.LookLocally.com
When you register as a member with www.LookLocally.com, our registration form may require you
to give us certain information such as your name, e-mail address, and postal mailing information.
We will also collect other information you volunteer to us through use of our registration form.
While all the information is not necessarily mandatory to create your webpage, it will significantly
assist LookLocally.com in marketing efforts to increase traffic to the site. We may also collect
other profile information such as demographics and may occasionally submit surveys to our members to
better the performance of the website.
Information Collected by Third Parties
LookLocally.com does not allow banner or pop up ads and information about you cannot be collected by any
third party using our site. Despite our policy and actions, your web browser may still produce pop-up
advertisements when visiting this and other web sites. These advertisements were most likely produced
by other web sites you visited or by third party software installed on your computer. LookLocally.com does not endorse or recommend products or services for which you may view a pop-up advertisement on your
computer screen while visiting our site, or any other site.
Receiving Inquiries from customers visiting www.LookLocally.com
In order for interested parties to send messages to you through the LookLocally.com website, we require
that you submit to us current, valid email addresses for us to reach you. We do not permit anyone to
see your direct email address to secure your information and to avoid the risk of spam e-mail. When
inquiries and messages are sent to you from www.LookLocally.com we collect and retain the e-mail addresses
or other pertinent contact information of those persons expressing interest in your individual webpage.
We then immediately forward this information to you, and we do not retain it for any marketing purposes.
Except as described below in the Section titled "When We May Disclose Your Personally Identifiable Information,
Data or Lead Contact Information", we do not sell, share or otherwise provide any information you submit to any third party.
Cookies
We use cookies, (strings of text and numbers that can identify your computer) when you visit our site, and
may use the information to customize the information you view. For almost all public areas in this website,
we do not use cookies at all. However, there are several member related functions (account signup, account management,
etc.) that absolutely require that a user enable cookies. These cookies are only used during a single,
particular visit you make to these pages (i.e. we don't spy on you across multiple visits to our website).
Except as described below in the Section titled "When We May Disclose Your Personally Identifiable Information,
Data or Lead Contact Information", we do not sell, share or otherwise provide any information you submit to any
third party.
IP Address
When you visit our site, information is logged such as your IP address, which is a number that could potentially be
used to identify your location and ISP (Internet Service Provider), along with the URL from which you came to our
site and the URLs visited on our site. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the full address of a web page. This
information helps us further identify trends, interests and other pertinent data to help us in designing LookLocally.com.
Except in rare cases where your IP address has been used to perform some undesirable or illicit activity, this information
would never be used in any way which makes you personally identifiable. Except as described below in the Section titled
"When We May Disclose Your Personally Identifiable Information, Data or Lead Contact Information", we do not sell, share or
otherwise provide any information you submit to any third party.
When we send messages to you or others, we may provide a URL link to the LookLocally.com site that contains an alphanumeric identifier, which allows us to identify the person to whom the message was sent so content can be better personalized (i.e. a personal invitation link).
Your IP Address is also used to help diagnose problems with our server, and to better manage our Web site and otherwise provide services to you. IP addresses may be disclosed to a third party if www.LookLocally.com believes in good faith that the law or legal process requires it, or to protect the rights or property of LookLocally.com.
