Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Nearside Media LLC("Nearside Media," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit this website, contact us, or reach one of the local service websites we build and operate.

Who we are

Nearside Media LLC is a digital marketing and media company based at 2401 Main St, Sarasota, FL 34237. We build, rank, and operate local service websites for home-service businesses, and we route the calls and form inquiries those sites generate to the local business assigned to each site.

Information we collect

• Contact details you give us. When you submit a form or send an email, we collect your name, business, email address, phone number, market or city, and the message you send.
• Inquiry details. When you contact one of the local service websites we operate, by phone or web form, we collect the details needed to handle your request, such as your name, phone number, location, and a short description of the work you need.
• Usage data. Like most websites, we collect basic technical data such as browser type, device, and pages viewed, through standard analytics and server logs.

How we use information

• To respond to your message and answer your questions.
• To service a request you submit on a local service website, and to connect that request to the single local business assigned to that site.
• To operate, secure, and improve our websites.
• To meet legal, tax, and compliance obligations.

Text messages (SMS)

Nearside Media LLC sends any text messages related to this website and to the local service websites we operate. You may receive text messages only if you opt in one of these ways: you check the SMS consent box on a form, you agree to a text during a call you place to us, or you text one of our numbers first.

If you opt in, you may receive a callback confirmation, updates about your request, and messages from the licensed local business assigned to your request. Message frequency varies and depends on your request. It is typically 1 to 5 messages per request, and recurring messages are sent only while your request is active. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any service. Mobile opt-in data and consent are never shared with third parties. We use your details only to service your request, and we share them only with the single local business assigned to that site.

How we share information

We share the details of a service request only with the one local business assigned to the site you contacted. We may also share information with service providers who help us operate the business, such as hosting, analytics, email, and telephony vendors, under terms that limit their use of the data. We may disclose information when required by law. We do not sell your personal information.
