Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Something Clicks LLC (“Something Clicks,” “we” or “us”) collects through somethingclicks.com (the “site”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. If you have a question or request, reach us through our contact page.

1. Information you give us

• Your account. Your email address. You sign in with a link we email you; we store only a one-way hash of each link, and links expire after an hour.
• Your business. The business you claim and the email you claim it with, any note you add to help us confirm it, and, if you add a business we don’t list, its name, category, website, city and service area. Your profile: a short description, service area, contact name, email and phone, and whether you’ve joined the network.
• Introductions and partnerships. Who you asked to meet, any note you added, their answer, and the details of partnerships you set up (the offer, an optional code and link).
• Planner Partners. If you apply, your acceptance of the Planner Partner Agreement (the version, the time, your account and business, and the IP address you accepted from). If you suggest businesses to invite, the names, categories, cities and email addresses you give us for them. We email those businesses only after we review and approve each invitation.
• Payments. If you buy a plan, the plan, amounts, dates and status of your payments, and the Stripe customer and subscription IDs that link them to your business. Stripe collects your card details; we never see or store card numbers.
• Forms. Contact messages (name, email, topic, message), referral partner interest (name, organization, role, email, optional phone, and the businesses you could introduce), and removal requests. Whether you agreed to be contacted and whether you opted in to updates, with the time.
• Searches. When a search for “What you do” doesn’t match a category we know, we save that phrase (not who typed it) so we can add the category.

Please don’t send us customer lists or personal information about your customers. We don’t ask for it.

2. Information collected automatically

• Tracking-link visits. When someone follows a partner’s tracking link, we add one to that link’s visit count. We don’t record who followed it.
• Where you came from. When you submit a form, the page you submitted from, the site that referred you, and any campaign tags in the link you followed. Until you submit, these stay in your browser’s session storage.
• Rate limiting. To stop spam and abuse, we store a salted, one-way hash of your IP address with a counter. We never store the IP address itself for this, and these records are deleted within about a day.
• Analytics. Vercel Web Analytics counts page views in aggregate without cookies. Google Analytics records pages viewed, approximate location from your IP address, device and browser type, the referring site, and form events such as “form started.” Google signals and ad personalization are off, and we never send what you type into a form to Google. We also count anonymous form events (started, step reached, submitted) with no personal information.
• Server logs. Our host records technical request data, such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and reliability.

3. Cookies

• Session. When you sign in, a secure cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days.
• Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga) to recognize returning browsers. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or your browser’s cookie settings.

We don’t use advertising cookies or let third parties place advertising trackers on the site.

4. Business listings

Most businesses on Something Clicks come from public business data published by the Overture Maps Foundation (see Data sources): name, category, address, phone, website and sometimes a business email. We use it to show anonymous counts of businesses by category and distance, and to show verified owners which businesses fit theirs.

• The public never sees the name of an unclaimed business, only counts.
• We never show an imported email address to anyone.
• If we email a listed business, the message says who we are, includes our postal address and a one-click unsubscribe, and we stop as soon as anyone opts out.
• Anyone can ask us to remove a listing at Remove my business. We hide it and keep it out of future data updates.

5. How we use information

• To run your account, confirm business claims, and email you sign-in links and notices.
• To show you businesses that fit yours, and to show your business (name, category, city and distance) to the verified owners of businesses it fits.
• To make introductions. Your contact details are shared with another business only after you both accept the introduction.
• To process payments and manage memberships and campaigns.
• To answer your messages and requests.
• To send occasional updates, only if you opted in. Every update has an unsubscribe link.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used, and to keep it secure.

We don’t sell personal information, and we don’t share it for targeted advertising.

6. Service providers

These companies process information for us, under their own privacy terms:

• Vercel: hosts the site and provides cookieless analytics.
• Supabase: our database.
• Resend: sends our email.
• Stripe: processes payments and runs the billing portal. We never store card numbers.
• Google: Google Analytics.
• Anthropic: when we turn it on, AI that helps us review business categories (for example, to draft a new category from a search phrase). It receives category names and search phrases, not your account details.
• Cloudflare: domain name (DNS) services.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our rights, users or the public, or as part of a sale or reorganization of our business.

7. How long we keep it

• Account, business, introduction and partnership information: while your account is active.
• When you ask us to delete your account, we delete or anonymize your information within 30 days, except what we must keep by law.
• Payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires, generally seven years.
• Agreement acceptance records: for as long as the agreement applies and for seven years after.
• Form submissions: up to two years after our last contact with you, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
• Hashed IP records and used or expired sign-in links: about a day.
• Removed listings: we keep the listing ID, website domain and phone on a do-not-list record so the business stays removed.
• Anonymous counts may be kept longer.

8. Your rights and choices

• Access, correction and deletion. Ask to see, correct or delete your information through our contact page. You can also edit your profile from your dashboard.
• Unsubscribe. Use the link in any update email.
• Leave the network. Turn it off in your profile at any time.
• Remove a listing. Use Remove my business.
• Analytics. Use Google’s opt-out add-on or block cookies in your browser.

We answer requests within 30 days and may need to confirm it’s you first. If the law where you live gives you more rights, we honor them.

9. Security

Information travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and our database is reachable only by our servers and our administrator. Sign-in links are single use and stored only as hashes. No system is perfectly secure, so we can’t guarantee security, but we’ll tell you promptly if a breach affects your information.

10. Children

The site is for business owners and professionals and isn’t directed to anyone under 16.

11. Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll post the new version here with a new date. For significant changes, we’ll also email account holders before they take effect.
