Chicago Local (chicagolocal.us) is a free local guide run by Anywhere Reality Industries LLC, a Delaware company ("we", "us"). This page explains what information we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.
The short version
- You can read the whole site without giving us any personal information.
- We don't use cookies, advertising trackers or Google Analytics.
- We only collect what you type into our forms, and we use it only to answer you and keep the guide accurate.
- We never sell or rent your information.
- You can ask for a copy of your information, or ask us to delete it, at any time: consultingwithari@gmail.com.
What we collect
When you just visit. We don't run any visit counter or tracker on the site. If we add visit counts later, we'll use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or track you across other sites, and we'll update this page first. Like every website host, Cloudflare briefly processes technical details such as your IP address and browser type so the site can load and to protect it from attacks. Cloudflare may also ask your browser to send it a short report if a page fails to load (a standard web feature called Network Error Logging); Cloudflare says these reports don't include personal information and it doesn't keep your IP address from them. We don't use any of this to identify you.
When you use a form (for example "Add or update a listing" or "Report a problem"), we collect what you type: usually a business name, your name, email, phone, the business website and address, and your message. Please don't send sensitive personal information (such as health details or ID numbers) through our forms.
When you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write.
Why we use it
- To review and publish, update or remove a listing you asked about.
- To reply to you, including about our related web design and marketing services if your message relates to your business's online presence. You can ask us to stop at any time.
- To keep the guide accurate and protect it from spam and abuse.
Who we share it with
We don't sell, rent or trade personal information. We use a few service providers to run the site, and they handle data only on our behalf:
- Base44 (stores form submissions and sends us an email notice).
- Cloudflare (hosts the site).
- Google (our email inbox, where form notices arrive).
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or someone's safety.
Business details shown in a published listing (business name, address, phone, website, hours) are public information about a business, not personal information about you.
How long we keep it
We keep form submissions for up to 24 months, then delete them. Published listing details stay on the site until they change or the business asks us to remove them.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what information we hold about you and send you a copy,
- correct it,
- delete it,
- stop contacting you.
Email consultingwithari@gmail.com. We'll reply within 30 days, and we won't treat you differently for asking. We honor these requests wherever you live, including requests made under California and other US state privacy laws and under Israeli or European law.
Children
This site is for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us information, email us and we'll delete it.
Security
Form submissions are stored in an admin-only database that only we can read. No method of sending or storing data is perfectly secure, so we can't promise absolute security.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll note it on this page.
