Understand How We Safeguard Your Personal Data

Collection and Use of Personal and Behavioral Data

We collect different types of user data to refine our services and provide a more customized experience. This includes personally identifiable information such as your name, contact details, and employment records, along with any other identifiers you voluntarily submit. Additionally, we gather behavioral data related to your interactions with our platform, such as pages visited, search terms used, and other actions performed. To enhance our service quality and relevance, this data may be combined with information sourced from third-party providers. We also ensure that personal data is anonymized or aggregated where appropriate, rendering it untraceable to individual users. This anonymized or aggregated data is used for research, marketing campaigns, and service improvements.

Data Aggregation and Obligations for Personal Information

We gather, utilize, and share "Aggregated Data" which comprises statistical and demographic insights used for analytical and operational purposes. Although Aggregated Data may be derived from Personal Information, it is not considered Personal Information because it does not reveal individual identities.

Additionally, if providing Personal Information is a legal requirement or a prerequisite for fulfilling a contract, failure to do so may hinder our ability to provide the requested services. In such cases, we may need to terminate or decline the service request. By continuing to engage with our services, you acknowledge and agree to these terms as necessary conditions of service.

Ways We Collect Your Information

We employ several strategies to collect Personal Data about you:

Automated Collection Technologies: While you browse our website, we automatically gather Technical and Usage Data regarding your device and interactions. This process utilizes cookies, server logs, and tracking technologies. We may also track your activities on other websites where our tracking tools are deployed.
Data from Third Parties: We may receive Technical and Usage Data from external sources such as analytics services or advertising networks. If you are a client, we may enhance the Business Information you provide by integrating third-party data. Additionally, we gather Business and Contact Data about non-users from reputable sources.
Service Provider Role: When engaged by clients, we handle Personal Data as per their instructions. We do not have a direct relationship with the individuals whose data we process in this capacity.

If you wish to access, modify, or delete your Personal Data when we are acting as a service provider, we will direct you to the relevant client contact. In rare cases, we may help directly.

Processing and Utilization of Your Personal Information

Your personal data enables us to provide the Services you request. In some cases, we share this data with third-party providers and partners to facilitate service delivery. Without data processing, the requested Services cannot be provided.

We process your personal information when you reach out with concerns, questions, or disputes. This allows us to assist you efficiently. Without your details, we cannot offer the necessary support.
To maintain compliance and prevent fraudulent or illicit activity, we actively monitor our Services. This requires processing your data to ensure compliance with policies and agreements and manage associated fees.
Protecting your security is a priority. We process your data to prevent spam, detect security risks, and validate identities. Without these efforts, we cannot ensure a safe experience for our users.
We leverage your interactions to improve and innovate our Services. Research and development efforts drive improvements, refine existing features, and introduce new functionalities.
Should we modify the use of your personal data in any way beyond what is described in this policy, we will notify you. You will have the option to limit usage, but doing so may impact your access to certain Services.

Third-Party Data Disclosure

For operational and legal reasons, we may share your personal details with external parties such as potential employers, service providers, affiliates, and regulatory bodies. The entities receiving your information are responsible for adhering to their respective privacy policies. Furthermore, we may disclose your data in compliance with legal requirements, for security and rights protection, or during corporate changes like mergers, acquisitions, or business reorganizations.

Your Data Rights and Control

Based on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. These may include requesting access to your data, making corrections to inaccurate or outdated details, requesting the removal of your information, and opting out of certain uses of your data. These rights are governed by applicable laws and may be subject to certain restrictions. If you wish to exercise these rights, you can contact us at admin@nearbylocalworks.com. We will handle your request promptly and in accordance with relevant legal obligations.

Links to External Websites

Our services may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. These third-party platforms have their own privacy policies, which we do not control. Although we aim to link to websites that uphold similar privacy values, we are not responsible for their content, security measures, or data handling practices. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website before engaging with their services.

Safeguarding Data and Retention Practices

We have instituted a security framework designed to prevent unauthorized access, tampering, or destruction of your data. Our protective measures include administrative policies, technological solutions, and physical safeguards. However, despite these efforts, no security system is entirely foolproof. While we take every precaution, we cannot guarantee complete security of your information. We retain data only as long as necessary to fulfill service obligations, comply with legal mandates, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Additionally, we may maintain cached or archived copies of data for a defined timeframe.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy to align with evolving business operations, technological changes, and legal frameworks. Whenever modifications are made, the revised policy will be posted on our services. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our data handling practices and your privacy rights.
