Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2, 2026
The Biz ("we", "us", "our") operates the directory at find-the-biz.base44.app (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here. If you have questions, you can reach us anytime through our contact page.
Information We Collect
Information you give us: when you create an account, submit a business, leave a review, make a reservation, sign up for our newsletter, or contact us, we collect the details you provide — such as your name, email address, business information, review content, and message.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, and understand how the Site is used (pages visited, searches performed, approximate device and browser information).
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site — for example, to:
- display and maintain business listings, reviews, and collections;
- respond to your inquiries and send transactional messages (such as reservation confirmations or claim instructions);
- send our newsletter if you subscribed (you can unsubscribe anytime);
- improve search results, features, and content;
- monitor and protect the security and quality of the Site.
Cookies and Advertising
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate the Site — for example, with service providers that host the platform, process payments, or deliver email on our behalf, or when we are required to comply with law or protect the rights and safety of our users. Business listing details (name, contact information, hours, and photos) are displayed publicly by design, because that is the purpose of the directory.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can delete content you created (such as reviews, collections, and check-ins) directly from the Site, or contact us for help. If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have rights under the GDPR; if you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA.
Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, and we use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
