Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Local Founders (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a publication of Reality 66, LLC, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or submit an application to be featured. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

The only personal information we collect directly from you is the information you provide through our application or contact forms. This may include:

• Your name
• Your business name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your website URL

We do not collect payment information for our free Founder Spotlight applications. However, if you choose to engage our agency services for additional marketing and promotion, we collect payment information securely through our payment processor, Stripe. We do not collect any other personal information beyond what you submit and the standard, aggregated website usage data described below.

How Forms Are Handled

When you submit a form, your information is stored and a notification is sent to us so we can respond. We use these details only to review and respond to your submission.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit to:

• Review your application
• Contact you about your application or message (by phone or email)
• Produce and promote your Founder Spotlight if you move forward with getting featured

Spotlight Content

If you move forward with getting featured, we will produce a written spotlight about your business. Information you share with us during that process may be published as part of your spotlight. You are responsible for ensuring that anything you share with us is accurate and that you have the right to share it.

How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you submit. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

Our spotlights and website may link to third-party websites, such as a featured business’s own website or social media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for business owners and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
