3. How We Share Information
We may share information with:
Participating Businesses
When necessary to provide BoardLocal features, certain information may be made available to participating businesses.
For example, a business may receive information associated with a reward redemption or other interaction with that business.
We do not sell a consumer’s personal information to a participating business simply because the consumer views or saves that business’s profile.

Business Transfers
If BoardLocal is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
BoardLocal and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate the Services, remember preferences, understand usage, and improve performance.
You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser or device settings.
5. Children’s Privacy
BoardLocal is not intended to be a service directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required parental consent.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to BoardLocal, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances where parental consent was required, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of online services.
6. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.
The amount of time information is retained may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
7. Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your BoardLocal account through the account settings available within the Services, where that functionality is provided.
When an account is deleted, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify associated personal information, subject to information we are required or permitted to retain for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other legitimate purposes.
Deletion of an account may also result in the loss of saved perks, points, rewards, or other account-associated information.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:
- Access information we maintain about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion
- Request information about how your information is used or shared
