TownBrowse is a neighborhood based directory that helps people browse local places, events, services, and real estate links. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
If you use a form on TownBrowse, such as Contact or Suggest an Edit, we may collect the information you submit, like your name, email address, and the message details you provide. We collect this information only so we can respond, fix listings, and improve the accuracy of the site.
If you browse TownBrowse without submitting a form, we may still collect basic usage data through standard website logs and tools. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, and the page you visited before coming to TownBrowse. This information helps us keep the site running, prevent abuse, and understand what content is useful.
Cookies and similar technology
TownBrowse may use cookies or similar technologies to support core site functions and measure traffic. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the site may not function as expected.
Analytics
TownBrowse may use analytics tools to understand site traffic and improve the user experience. These tools may collect information like pages viewed, time on site, and general device and browser details. We use this data in an aggregated way to improve TownBrowse.
Affiliate links and third party websites
Some listings may include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and take an action, TownBrowse may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
TownBrowse also links to third party websites such as restaurant sites, service providers, ticket platforms, or real estate listings. When you click a third party link, you leave TownBrowse. Those sites have their own privacy policies and practices, and we are not responsible for their content or data handling.
How we use your information
We use information to respond to messages you send, review and apply listing updates, maintain site security, prevent spam, and improve the quality and performance of TownBrowse. We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing of information
We may share information only in limited situations, such as with service providers that help run the website, hosting, email delivery for form messages, analytics tools, and basic security services. These providers are used to operate TownBrowse and are not permitted to use your information for unrelated purposes.
Data retention
Form submissions are kept only as long as needed to respond and maintain records for site operations, accuracy, and security. Website log data is retained for a reasonable period for security and performance monitoring.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information submitted to TownBrowse, but no website can guarantee complete security.
Children
TownBrowse is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your choices
You can choose not to submit forms. You can also adjust your browser settings to limit cookies. If you want to request removal of a message you sent through a form, you can contact us and we will help when possible.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
