1. Who We Are
ClarksvilleBiz.com is a free local business directory serving Clarksville, Tennessee, operated by LocalAIConsult, a veteran-owned business based in Clarksville, TN. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly includes your name and email address when you create an account; your business name, owner name, phone number, email address, physical address, business description, hours, and website URL when you submit a listing; any notes or edits you make to a claimed listing; and messages you send us through contact forms or email.
Information collected automatically includes your IP address (stored in hashed form for abuse prevention), browser type and version (stored in hashed form), pages visited and search queries entered on the Site, referring URLs, and device type. We do not use persistent advertising trackers or sell behavioral data to third parties.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, display business listings to the public, verify business ownership during the claim-your-listing flow, send transactional emails (such as listing approval confirmations and claim verification tokens), detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity, and respond to your inquiries. We do not use your personal information to send unsolicited marketing emails unless you have explicitly opted in.
5. Tennessee Privacy Rights (TIPA)
The Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA), effective July 1, 2025, grants Tennessee residents certain rights regarding their personal data. If you are a Tennessee resident, you have the right to confirm whether we process your personal data, access a copy of your personal data, correct inaccuracies, delete your personal data (subject to certain exceptions), and opt out of the processing of your personal data for targeted advertising or sale — we do not engage in either. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days as required by TIPA.
6. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
7. Data Retention
We retain account information and business listing data for as long as your account is active or as needed to operate the Site. If you request deletion of your account or listing, we will remove your personal data within a reasonable time, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention. Hashed abuse-tracking data associated with recommendation actions is retained for up to 12 months.
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed storage of sensitive tracking fields, and access controls on our administrative systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
