Privacy Policy

City List Pro (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors of our website (“you” “user” “subscriber”). This privacy statement describes what we do with the information that we receive about you when you visit our website. The information that we receive about you depends on what you do when you visit our website. This information may be expanded or updated as we change or develop our site. For this reason, we recommend that you review this policy from time-to-time to see if anything has changed. Your continued use of our site signifies your acceptance of our Privacy Policy.

Our Commitment to You

City List Pro wants your experiences at our website (our “Site” “Service”) to be fun and exciting. We know how important your privacy is and we have created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our commitment to preserving your privacy. When you use the Site, you will sometimes be asked to give us personal information. We are sensitive to your privacy concerns, and are committed to letting you know what information is being collected on the Site, how the information is being used and what choices you have regarding the collection and use of the information. Please take a moment to review this privacy policy and feel free to contact us with any questions at privacy@citylistpro.us

Types of InformationWe Collect

City List Pro collects information from you in two ways: 1) information you provide to us, and 2) information that we gather from your use of our Site and Service, each as more specifically described below. Such information is made up of Personally Identifiable Information (“Personal Information”) and “Non-Personal Information.”

“Personal Information” means information that you provide to us that personally identifies you, such as your first and last name, email address, street address, zip code, phone number, or billing information.

“Non-Personal Information” means information that does not specifically identify you.

Information We Collect and How We use it

We may collect, transmit, and store information about you in connection with your use of the Service, including any information you send to or through the Service. We use that information to provide the Service’s functionality, fulfill your requests, improve the Service’s quality, engage in research and analysis relating to the Service, personalize your experience, track usage of the Service, provide feedback to third party businesses that are listed on the Service, display relevant advertising, market the Service, provide customer support, message you, back up our systems, allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security of the Service, and comply with legal obligations. Even when we do not retain such information, it still must be transmitted to our servers initially and stored long enough to process.

Account Information: When you create a City List Pro account, we store and use the information you provide during that process, such as the first and last name you enter, email address, zip code, physical address, and any other information you may provide during the account creation process, such as a gender, phone number, or birth date. We may publicly display the first name and last initial that you provide, as well as any photo or other content you submit through the account creation process, as part of your account profile. We also store and use any preferences you provide to personalize your user experience, including dining and activity preferences. You can later modify some of the account information you provide through your account settings. If you believe that someone has created an unauthorized account using your personal information, you can request its removal by flagging it.

Public Content: Your contributions to the Service are intended for public consumption and are therefore viewable by the public, including your photos, ratings, reviews, tips, lists, bookmarks and collections, compliments, Ask the Community posts, City List Pro Talk posts, and edits to business page information. Your account profile (e.g., first name, last initial, city, neighborhood, the month and year you created your City List Pro account, profile photos and list of friends on City List Pro) is also intended for public consumption, as is some of your other activity through the Service, like how you vote on other people’s contributions (e.g., useful, funny, cool, helpful, or not helpful), which contributions you like, where you check-in (including when friends on City List Pro tag you in their own check-ins), which contributions or users you follow, and which businesses you follow. You can limit the public visibility of some of these activities through your account settings.

Contacts: You can invite others to join or become your friend on City List Pro by providing us with their contact information, or by allowing us to access contacts from your computer, mobile device, or third party sites to select which individuals you want to invite. If you allow us to access your contacts, we will transmit information about your contacts to our servers long enough to process your invitations or friend requests.

Communications: When you sign up for an account or use certain features, you are opting to receive messages from other users, businesses, and City List Pro.

Activity: We store information about your use of the Service, such as your search activity, the pages you view, the date and time of your visits. We also store information that your computer or mobile device may provide to us in connection with your use of the Service, such as your browser type, type of computer or mobile device, browser language, IP address, WiFi information such as SSID, mobile carrier, phone number, unique device identifier, advertising identifier, location (including geolocation, beacon based location, and GPS location), and requested and referring URLs and mobile applications. We may also receive and store your location whenever our mobile applications are running, including when running in the background, if you enable our mobile apps to access such information in the course of using the Service. You may be able to limit or disallow our use of certain data through your device or browser settings, for example you may be able to limit or disallow our collection, use or sharing of location data or mobile advertising identifiers by adjusting the settings for our applications in iOS or Android privacy settings.

Different Devices: You may access the Service through different devices (e.g., your mobile phone, personal computer, or other internet connected device) and through the City List Pro website. The information that we collect and store through those different uses may be cross-referenced and combined.

Professional Information: If you represent a business on City List Pro, we may collect and display information about you related to your business activities, such as a business name that may incorporate your individual name, or a publicly available business address that is also used as a home address. We will also collect and display information about your professional background that you choose to share with us through the Service, such as information about your professional licenses or certifications, or your professional history or specialties.

Sensitive Personal Information: In the course of using the Service, you may choose to allow City List Pro to collect and store sensitive personal information about you, such as your precise geolocation. You may choose to share other sensitive personal information through the content you share on City List Pro, for example, when leaving a review, sending a direct message, or otherwise sharing information on City List Pro. You may be able to limit or disallow our collection, use or sharing of location data by adjusting the settings for our applications in iOS or Android privacy settings. You can remove content that may include sensitive personal information through your account settings.

Cookies and Web Beacons

When you visit a City List Pro web page or Service, a cookie that uniquely identifies your browser may be sent to your computer or mobile device. A “cookie” is a small file containing your preferences that is sent to your browser and sent back by your browser each time your browser accesses our servers. City List Pro may set and access cookies on your computer to provide you with customized content. Most cookies are “session cookies,” which automatically delete themselves from your hard drive after each session. You are always free to decline these cookies if your browser permits, however, you may not be able to use certain features.

Cookies that we may use may only be read by the server that placed them there. We use cookies to improve the quality of our Service (for example, by fulfilling your language, filtering and other preferences) and to better understand how people interact with our Site. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some aspects of the Site may not function properly without cookies.

Like many Internet companies, City List Pro may automatically track information based upon your behavior on our Site. We use this information for research purposes to better understand, protect and service our customers. The information we track may include such information as browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, IP address and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Sites, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. City List Pro respects your privacy and this information is not linked to any personally identifiable information, except as may be needed to prevent fraud or abuse of the Site. City List Pro works with third parties to serve ads on our Sites. These ads may contain cookies and/or action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness and gather completely anonymous information. We have no access to or control over these cookies or action tags.

We currently use the services of web analytics companies to help us measure the effectiveness of our Service, including the advertising on the Service. To do this, we allow the web analytics companies to include web beacons and cookies on business profiles and search results pages. The type of information collected via such web beacons and cookies includes search terms, search parameters, click-throughs by users, and other similar information. By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things like user preferences, popular search categories, click-through rates, how to improve our Service, and what kinds of offers our users like to see. Although our web analytics companies log this information on our behalf, we control how that data may be used.

Most, if not all, of the advertisements appearing on the Service are delivered to you by one of our web advertising partners. In the course of delivering such advertisements, our web advertising partners may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser, or place web beacons, JavaScript or other similar technologies on our Service for the purpose of collecting information. The information collected by our web advertising partners through cookies, web beacons or other similar technologies is anonymous, and our web advertising partners are not authorized to collect any Personal Information about you.

Do we share Information with Third Parties?

We do not share information with any non-affiliated third party except as permitted or required by law, such as inquires by law enforcement or to comply with Federal laws such as the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM Act of 2003) or the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

Controlling Your Personl Data

Other users may be able to identify you, or associate you with your account, if you include personal information in the content you post publicly. You can reduce the risk of being personally identified by using the Service pseudonymously, though doing so could detract from the credibility of your contributions to the Service. City List Pro users can also use the Find Friends feature to find one another based on their names or email addresses (you can limit your visibility for this feature in your account settings). Please also note that the messages you send or receive using the Service are only private to the extent that both you and the recipient(s) of your messages keep them private. For example, if you send a message to another user, that user may choose to publicly post it. We may access, review, and disclose such messages in connection with investigations related to use of the Service, as well as with our efforts to improve the Service.

Data Retention and Account Termination

Information on how to close your account is available here. We will remove certain public posts from view and/or dissociate them from your account profile, but we may retain information about you for the purposes authorized under this Privacy Policy unless prohibited by law. For example, we may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service or to comply with legal obligations. We may also maintain residual copies of your personal information in our backup systems. Please note that businesses cannot remove their business pages, ratings, or reviews by closing their accounts. City List Pro retains information for as long  as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. 

Children

The Service is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Although use of City List Pro by children is unlikely, if you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us here. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account.

How We Protect Your Information

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those of our employees who need to know that information in order to serve you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your nonpublic personal information.

We use various safeguards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

CCPA Privacy

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send us an email at privacy@citylistpro.us

City List Pro does not sell your personal information and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. Similarly, we do not offer financial incentives associated with our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information.
 As of January 1, 2023 you have the right to opt-out of sharing your personal information with third parties for the purposes of targeted behavioral advertising, which you can do here.

A more detailed description of the information City List Pro collects and how we use it is provided above in Section 1 (Information We Collect and How We Use It). Section 3 (Third Parties) describes the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information, and what information may be shared under different circumstances.
