Privacy Policy

Last updated: 07-28-2026

At Local Ads Help, operating the website LocalAdHelp.com, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of our site and from participants in our SMS text messaging program.

Information Collection And Use

While using our site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, business name, and telephone or mobile number ("Personal Information").

We use this information to provide and improve our advertising management services, respond to your inquiries, process payments, deliver customer support, and communicate with you about your account.

Mobile Information and SMS Text Messaging

If you choose to participate in our SMS program, we collect your mobile telephone number, your opt-in and consent status, and the content and metadata of messages exchanged between you and Local Ads Help.

We use this information solely to deliver the customer support notifications and service-related messages you requested, to respond to your inbound messages, and to honor opt-out and help requests.

No mobile information will be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help. Full program details are available in our SMS Terms and Conditions.

Log Data

We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, provide personalized content, and analyze our traffic. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you use our website. We use four main categories of cookies: (1) Strictly Necessary cookies for essential website functionality, (2) Analytics cookies to understand website usage, (3) Functional cookies for enhanced features and personalization, and (4) Marketing cookies for relevant advertising. You have full control over which cookies you accept through our cookie preference center.

Payment Processing

Payments for our services are processed by Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. When you make a payment, your payment card details are submitted directly to Stripe and are not stored on our servers. Stripe's handling of your information is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy. We receive limited transaction data from Stripe, such as the last four digits of your card, the transaction amount, and its status, for accounting and customer support purposes.

How We Share Information

We may share your Personal Information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, including payment processing, website hosting, analytics, email delivery, and SMS delivery. These providers are permitted to use your information only as necessary to perform services for us.

We may also disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or investigate fraud.

We do not sell your Personal Information. As stated above, text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from all sharing categories and will not be shared with any third parties.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
