This policy applies across the full Residents Guide ecosystem, including current and future Residents Guide domains, local market pages, neighborhood pages, guide series, discovery listings, resident accounts, business accounts, sponsor placements, community features, and connected operational systems.

This policy applies whether a user accesses Residents Guide directly, through a local Residents Guide domain, through a subdomain, through a shared link, through a QR code, through a business listing, through an embedded form, through a support widget, or through a related Residents Guide communication.

How Information Is Used

Residents Guide may use information to operate, maintain, secure, support, and improve the platform.

Residents Guide may use information to create and manage user accounts, provide access to guides, listings, communities, business pages, offers, events, support, chat, and related services, respond to inquiries and support requests, enable residents to interact with businesses and organizations, enable businesses and organizations to manage listings and receive inquiries, process business participation, manage guide inclusion, support sponsorships and featured placements, send system updates and service messages, improve platform performance, protect the platform from abuse, fraud, spam, unauthorized access, or misuse, and maintain internal records, operational workflows, and compliance documentation.

Residents Guide may also use information to personalize user experience, improve content quality, measure resident engagement, understand listing performance, improve business visibility, support marketing campaigns where applicable, manage communications, and provide relevant resident-facing or business-facing platform updates.

Resident and Business Interactions

Residents Guide may enable residents, visitors, businesses, organizations, sponsors, and partners to interact through listings, forms, messages, reviews, comments, offers, events, booking links, contact buttons, inquiry forms, QR codes, and other platform features.

When a user contacts a business, submits an inquiry, interacts with an offer, registers for an event, sends a message, requests information, or uses a business-facing feature, Residents Guide may process the information needed to support that interaction. In some cases, relevant information may be shared with the business, organization, sponsor, or service provider connected to that interaction.

Users should not submit information through a listing, message, form, comment, review, or public-facing feature that they do not want processed or shared as part of the requested interaction.

User-generated content may be displayed publicly or shared with other users, businesses, organizations, service providers, or Residents Guide team members depending on the feature used and the nature of the submission.

Residents Guide may review, moderate, edit, remove, restrict, or decline to publish user-generated content when necessary to protect platform integrity, enforce platform rules, respond to abuse, prevent spam, comply with legal obligations, or maintain the quality and safety of the Residents Guide experience.

Residents Guide may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, session technologies, support tools, chat tools, and similar technologies to maintain sessions, support account access, remember preferences, provide chat and support functionality, understand usage, improve performance, measure engagement, support communications and marketing where applicable, and protect the platform from abuse or unauthorized access.

Cookies and tracking technologies may help Residents Guide understand how users find and use the platform, which guides and listings receive engagement, how businesses and residents interact with platform features, and how to improve the overall experience.

Users may be able to manage cookie settings through their browser or device settings. Some features may not function properly if cookies or similar technologies are disabled.

Analytics and Performance Measurement

This information may be used to improve Residents Guide content, listings, neighborhoods, local market pages, business tools, marketing, support, platform design, and operational decisions.

Communications

Residents Guide may send communications related to account access, system updates, platform participation, business listings, guide inclusion, offers, events, resident-facing activity, responses to inquiries, support requests, chat conversations, service notices, operational updates, and marketing or promotional communications where applicable.

Users may opt out of marketing communications where applicable. Some transactional, account, security, support, service-related, billing, legal, or operational communications may still be sent when required to operate the platform or manage an active relationship.

Data Storage

Information may be stored using third-party systems required for platform operation. Data may be stored in the United States or other locations where Residents Guide service providers operate.

Residents Guide uses reasonable operational, technical, and administrative measures to protect information, but no system is fully secure.

Residents Guide retains information only as long as reasonably necessary to operate the platform, provide services, maintain records, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal or operational requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, support accounting or tax obligations, prevent fraud, protect platform integrity, and maintain business records.

Residents Guide may retain certain information even after an account is closed or a deletion request is made when retention is required or permitted for legal, operational, security, accounting, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or platform integrity purposes.

User Choices and Data Control

Users may request access, correction, or deletion of their information where applicable by contacting Residents Guide.

Residents Guide may need to verify the identity of the person making the request before responding. Residents Guide may also need to retain certain information when required for legal, operational, security, accounting, dispute resolution, contract, fraud prevention, or platform integrity purposes.

Users may unsubscribe from marketing communications where applicable by using available unsubscribe options or contacting Residents Guide. Transactional, account, support, legal, security, billing, or service-related communications may still be sent when necessary.

Account Security

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for activity that occurs under their account.

Users should notify Residents Guide if they believe their account has been accessed without authorization or if they become aware of any security issue affecting their account or use of the platform.

No internet-based system, software platform, or third-party service is fully secure. Users submit information at their own risk.
