Privacy policy

What we collect

• Cloudflare analytics. Anonymous, aggregate page-view counts. No cookies. No cross-site tracking. No device fingerprinting.
• Save and vote actions, if logged in. When sign-in ships and you actively bookmark a business or vote on a ranking, that action is tied to your account so the feature can work.
• Claim form submissions. If you use the business claim form, we collect what you submit (business name, email, phone, message, attestation) to verify your claim.
• Newsletter subscriptions. If you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect your email address and consent record.

What we do not collect

• We do not sell personal data. Ever. Not aggregated, not anonymized, not at all.
• We do not run third-party ad trackers or pixels.
• We do not load third-party analytics beyond Cloudflare's privacy-respecting layer.
• We do not share newsletter subscriber lists with anyone.
• We do not require an account to browse, read, or use the site.

Your data, your choice

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email privacy@bestofnorthseattle.com with the email address tied to your account or submission. We respond within 7 days.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a minor has submitted data, email us and we will remove it.

Changes

If we materially change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date below and, for substantive changes, post a notice on the homepage.
