NPR Business and Services respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be displayed or shared, and the choices available to you.

Our website address is:

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information including:

• Your name, email address, phone number, username, password, and profile information.
• Information submitted when creating or editing a business listing.
• Business names, descriptions, addresses, service areas, operating hours, website links, social media links, photographs, logos, special offers, and other listing details.
• Information included in reviews, comments, ratings, or messages.
• Information submitted through contact forms.
• Your IP address, browser type, device information, and similar technical information used for security, website operation, and spam prevention.
• Cookies and login-session information.
• Location details or map coordinates associated with a business listing.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your account or business listing.

How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Create and manage user accounts.
• Receive, review, publish, update, or remove business listings.
• Display listing and profile information to website visitors.
• Allow visitors to search for and contact businesses.
• Process reviews, comments, contact requests, and other interactions.
• Send account, listing, approval, password-reset, security, or service-related notices.
• Respond to questions, complaints, support requests, or correction requests.
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• Maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.

We do not sell personal information.

Public Business Listings and Profiles

Information submitted as part of a business listing is generally intended for public display. This may include:

• Business name and description
• Phone number and contact email
• Website and social media links
• Address or service location
• Business hours
• Images and logos
• Special offers
• Reviews and ratings

Business owners should only submit contact and location information they are comfortable displaying publicly.

Account or profile information may also be visible publicly when connected to listings, reviews, comments, or other website activity. Do not include private information in a public profile.

Addresses and Location Information

Business listings may use Google Maps or related mapping services to display locations. When a map is loaded or used, Google may receive technical information such as an IP address, device information, map interactions, or location-related data according to Google’s own policies. Google identifies embedded Google Maps as a service that may collect information when integrated into another website.

Business owners who work from home or do not want their full address displayed should avoid submitting a private residential address unless an available privacy option adequately protects it.

Reviews and Comments

When visitors leave reviews or comments, we may collect:

• The information entered in the form
• Name and email address
• Rating and review text
• Uploaded images, when available
• IP address and browser information
• Website address, when supplied

This information may be used to display the review, notify users of replies or moderation decisions, and detect spam or abuse.

Approved reviews, comments, names, profile images, and ratings may be publicly visible.

Contact Forms and Messages

When you submit a contact form or message, we may collect your name, email address, IP address, message content, and other information entered into the form.

A message sent through a business listing may be delivered to the contact email supplied by that business. We may also review or process messages when necessary to prevent spam, abuse, or technical problems.

Contact-form information is used to respond to the request or deliver the message. It is not used for unrelated marketing unless you separately agree to receive marketing communications.

Uploaded Images and Media

Images uploaded to business listings or profiles may be publicly accessible.

Uploaded files can sometimes contain embedded location information, including GPS data. Visitors may be able to download an image and extract that information. Remove private metadata from images before uploading them.

You must have permission to upload and publicly display any image, logo, photograph, or other media you submit.

Cookies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Determine whether your browser accepts cookies.
• Keep you signed in.
• Remember login and display preferences.
• Protect accounts and forms.
• Support website functionality and security.
• Save information entered into comments or forms when applicable.

Temporary cookies may be deleted when the browser is closed. Login and preference cookies may remain for a longer period, particularly when “Remember Me” is selected.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may prevent some website functions from working correctly.

Embedded Content and External Links

Pages may contain embedded maps, images, videos, social media content, or links to other websites.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those providers may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own privacy policies.

NPR Business and Services is not responsible for the privacy practices of outside websites or businesses linked from the directory.

Who We Share Information With

Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

• Businesses receiving messages sent through their listings.
• Website hosting, email, mapping, security, backup, spam-prevention, and technical-service providers.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights, users, or the website.
• A successor organization if the website or its operations are transferred, subject to applicable privacy requirements.

Password-reset emails may include the requesting user’s IP address.

Public listing, profile, review, and comment information is available to website visitors by design.

How Long We Retain Information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operation of the directory, account administration, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, and legal compliance.

In general:

• Account and profile information may remain while the account exists.
• Business-listing information may remain while the listing is active or retained for administrative purposes.
• Reviews, comments, and their associated metadata may be retained indefinitely unless removed.
• Contact and support messages may be retained as needed to respond to the request and maintain appropriate records.
• Security and technical logs may be retained for a reasonable period for troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and site protection.

Some information may be retained after an account or listing is removed when required for legal, security, administrative, or recordkeeping purposes.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request to:

• Access personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Receive an exported copy of information you provided.
• Delete your account or certain personal information.
• Remove or correct a business listing.
• Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent.
• Object to certain uses of your information.

These rights do not require us to delete information that must be retained for legal, administrative, fraud-prevention, security, or other legitimate purposes.

support@npr.digitaldesigncreations.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Protecting Your Information

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect website and account information. These may include encrypted website connections, access controls, security monitoring, spam protection, backups, software updates, and login protections.

No website, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults and businesses. It is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information should contact us so we can review and remove it when appropriate.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when website features, services, legal requirements, or data practices change.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
