Last Revised: March 29, 2021

Be Top Local (“Be Top,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit betoplocal.com or use our other products and services that include an authorized link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”), how we use the information we collect, with whom we share it, how we protect it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information.  

  • INFORMATION WE COLLECT 

How We Collect Information About You. We may collect personal information about you, meaning information that can uniquely identify you, from various sources, including: directly from you when you use the Services, such as when you subscribe to a newsletter or fill out a form; social networks through which you may interact with us; our service providers and other third parties; and automatically when you use the Services.

Information We May Collect. The personal information we collect about you may include, without limitation, your name, clinic name, email address, and phone number.

Automatic Collection. In addition, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that collect information about the use of the Services and user traffic. We have implemented Remarketing with Google AdWords, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Demographics and Interests Reporting. The information we collect by automatic means may include, without limitation: IP address, the type of device, operating system, web browser, dates and time of use of the Services, and website navigation patterns. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and does not include personal information. It helps us to improve and personalize our Services, including by enabling us to identify and authenticate users.

Your Choices. If you wish to adjust your cookies settings, most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features of the Services.  You may also opt out of the aggregation and analysis of data collected about you on our website by Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
