The Localist ("The Localist") operates www.thelocalist.la and may operate other websites. It is The Localist's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Like most website operators, The Localist collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Localist's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Localist's visitors use its website. From time to time, The Localist may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
The Localist also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.thelocalist.la blogs/sites. The Localist only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Certain visitors to The Localist's websites choose to interact with The Localist in ways that require The Localist to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Localist gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at www.thelocalist.la to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with The Localist are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, The Localist collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with The Localist. The Localist does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
The Localist may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. The Localist may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Localist does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
The Localist discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The Localist's behalf or to provide services available at The Localist's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Localist's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Localist will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, The Localist discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The Localist believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Localist, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an The Localist website and have supplied your email address, The Localist may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with The Localist and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Localist takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The Localist uses cookies to help The Localist identify and track visitors, their usage of The Localist website, and their website access preferences. The Localist visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using The Localist's websites, with the drawback that certain features of The Localist's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
If The Localist, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that The Localist goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of The Localist may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Persons who reside in California (“California Residents”) have the right to request that The Localist disclose certain information about its collection and use o f Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once The Localist receives and verifies the consumer request, we will disclose:
If you are a California Resident, you have the right to request that The Localist delete your Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your consumer request, The Localist will delete, and direct our service providers to delete, your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. The Localist may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described in this section, a California Resident must submit a verifiable consumer request to The Localist by emailing the company at thiguide@gmail.com.
Only a California Resident, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that a California Resident authorizes to act on their behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request to The Localist related to the California Resident’s Personal Information. A California Resident may also make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
The Localist cannot respond to a California Resident’s request or provide a California Resident with Personal Information if The Localist cannot verify the California Resident’s identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to such California Resident. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require a California Resident to create an account with us. The Localist will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
If a California Resident sends a verifiable consumer request, The Localist will respond within forty-five (45) days. If The Localist requires more time, we will inform the California Resident in writing. We will deliver our written response by e-mail. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of the consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide the California Resident’s Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow such California Resident to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a California Resident’s verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell the California Resident why we made that decision and provide such California Resident with a cost estimate before completing the request.
