Privacy

Last updated October 20, 2026

Very Good Local collects the information an adult organization representative submits through our enrollment form. That information may include the organization name and type, the representative’s name, role, email, mobile phone, city, state, estimated starting quantity, website or social page, approximate participant count, fundraising goal, desired launch date and fundraiser purpose.

Business representatives can submit their business and contact details, address, category, proposed offer, preferred organizations and notes through our partner form. We use those details to review and respond to partnership requests. Submitting a form does not automatically create a public listing.

Directory submissions, event suggestions, listing claims, corrections and team-interest requests are stored separately for private review by authorized administrators. These requests can include your name, email, public organization details, an official source link, event details and your message. Private contact information is not added to public listings. A claim request does not verify ownership, and a team-interest request does not enroll a business or approve an offer. Please do not submit children’s information, sensitive personal information or a private home address.

Advertising and guide-sponsorship inquiries use the same private review process. Authorized editors keep draft and published versions of public listing and event details, with review notes and a record of editorial actions. Only the approved public information is displayed in the directory.

We do not ask participants to upload address books or supporter contact lists. Sharing buttons use a public organization link and do not disclose private enrollment or supporter information.

How we use enrollment information

Sharing

Very Good Local does not sell organization signup information. We may use hosting, database and email-delivery providers when needed to operate the enrollment and communication process.

Retention and your choices

We keep enrollment information only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the request, operate the program and meet legitimate recordkeeping needs. An organization representative may contact us to request access, correction or deletion of submitted information, subject to records we must retain for legal or operational reasons.

Website measurement

The optional Saved places feature keeps listing identifiers in this browser’s local storage so you can return to places you selected. The list stays on that browser, is not an account or a cross-device service, and can be cleared from the Saved places page or your browser settings. Sharing a place uses its public page address.

We measure page visits, directory search use, fundraiser and business form activity, sharing, and clicks to local businesses, events and team offers. A random visit identifier is kept in your browser tab and expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. We use known page paths, referring website names, and campaign labels to understand which outreach helps people find us. Search text is not recorded in measurement events. Our measurement records do not include form answers, names, email addresses, phone numbers, full referring URLs, or IP addresses. Saved inquiries are kept separately and may be linked to the campaign that brought the visitor here.

Only authorized administrators can view the reporting and inquiry inbox. Measurement events older than 90 days are deleted when reports or new activity are processed. We honor browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. You can also turn off measurement below; the site and forms continue to work. Hosting and email providers may keep their own operational records.

Children’s information

The public enrollment form is for an authorized adult representative. It does not request player rosters or children’s personal information.
