Privacy Policy

Vebbl LLC ("Vebbl", "we", "us") provides a local discovery platform for consumers and businesses, delivered through the Vebbl consumer apps ("WCMA"), the Vebbl for Business products ("VBD"), and the Vebbl administrative tools ("SAC"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using Vebbl, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

We collect information in the following categories:

• Account information — name, email address, password hash, role, and authentication identifiers when you create or sign in to a Vebbl account.
• Profile information — display name, photo, preferences, friends, and any optional information you choose to add.
• Location information — approximate or precise location when you enable location services in order to surface nearby places and search results.
• Usage information — searches you run, places you view, tiles you save or share, interactions with businesses, and similar product activity.
• Device information — device model, operating system, app version, language, identifiers, IP address, and crash diagnostics.
• Business information — for VBD users, information about your business, listings, photos, hours, billing details, and team members.
• Communications — messages you send through Vebbl, support requests, and feedback.

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve search, discovery, and recommendations.
• Authenticate users, secure accounts, and prevent fraud or abuse.
• Personalize results based on location, history, and stated preferences.
• Deliver notifications, messaging, friend activity, and tile sharing.
• Support business listings, analytics, subscriptions, and billing.
• Communicate with you about your account, product changes, and legal notices.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Location is core to Vebbl. With your permission we use device location to surface nearby places, sort search results by proximity, and power map features. You can disable location access at any time through your device settings; some features will be limited without it.

We share information only as needed to operate Vebbl:

• With other users — your public profile, tiles you share, and messages you send.
• With businesses — aggregated analytics about visits, saves, and engagement. We do not sell personal information.
• With service providers — hosting, analytics, payments, and customer support providers acting on our behalf under contract.
• For legal reasons — to comply with law, lawful requests, or protect rights, safety, and security.
• In a business transfer — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy.

We use cookies and similar technologies on our websites for authentication, preferences, analytics, and security. See our Cookie Policy for details and choices.

We retain information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account at any time.

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

You can manage many preferences directly in the app (notifications, location, friends, messaging). To exercise other rights, contact privacy@vebbl.io.

Vebbl is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact privacy@vebbl.io.

Vebbl is operated from the United States. By using the service you understand that your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate.

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and update the Effective Date. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.
