Privacy Policy

VanIsleLocal™ may collect personal information you submit through contact forms, business applications, claim or correction requests, future QuoteFlow™ requests, and other interactive features. This typically includes name, email, phone, location, and any details you choose to include in a message.

VanIsleLocal™ may collect business information through applications, claim requests, and uploaded supporting documents where business document submission is offered. This typically includes business name, contact, website, location or service area, category, and a description of what the business offers.

VanIsleLocal™ may collect basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and log data. Aggregated analytics may be used to understand site performance and improve content. We do not enable third-party advertising on this site.

VanIsleLocal™ may use submitted information to:

• Review applications for Vancouver Island relevance and category fit
• Respond to contact, claim, or correction requests
• Manage member profiles, member onboarding, and member communications
• Where available, route QuoteFlow™ project information to participating providers
• Operate, secure, and improve the platform
• Comply with legal obligations

VanIsleLocal™ does not sell personal information. We do not share information for third-party advertising. Information may be shared with infrastructure and service providers (such as hosting, transactional email, and payment processing) strictly to operate the platform, with participating providers where you submit a quote request, or where required by law.

If you submit a QuoteFlow™ request where available, your request details may be shared with participating local providers relevant to your request so they can respond. You will be told this before submitting.

Business documents submitted during review are held privately and reviewed only for platform suitability. They are not published, and they do not constitute independent confirmation by VanIsleLocal.

We retain information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law. Application and audit records may be retained for legitimate operational reasons.

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you have submitted by contacting us through the contact pathway. Some records may be retained where there is a legitimate operational, audit, or legal reason.

We take reasonable steps to protect submitted information. No online service can guarantee perfect security. Do not submit information you are not comfortable sharing.

For privacy questions or requests, contact VanIsleLocal™ through the contact page.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as features such as payments, public member profiles, and QuoteFlow™ are added or changed.
