What we collect
When you submit a business feature request, we collect the information you enter in the form: business name, your name, your role or relationship to the business, email address, mobile phone number, and any website or listing link you provide. Our website also collects standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited.
How we use it
We use your information to verify your business, build and publish your feature page, send you the Welcome Kit, and follow up about the status of your request.
- Email — to deliver the Welcome Kit, confirmations, and occasional updates about the site and free resources.
- Mobile phone — to text you updates about your request and page. Message frequency varies. Data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help.
- Business details — published on your feature page as part of the free listing.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase, and mobile opt-in information is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
What we publish
Your business name, description, category, photo, map location, phone number, and website may be published publicly on NCLocalBusiness.com. Your personal email address and mobile phone number are never published.
Who we share with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the site and communicate with you — including our website host, email and SMS platform, and form processor — and only to the extent needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information where required by law.

Data retention and security
We keep your information for as long as your feature page is live or as needed to operate the site and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards to protect it, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
