1. Information We Collect

When a business listing is submitted, we may collect the business name, category, barangay, business address, business phone number, website, Facebook or Messenger page, business description, and other information voluntarily provided for the listing. We may also collect the submitter's name, email address, or other contact information when needed to review, verify, correct, or manage a listing.

This can include the business name, category, barangay, business address, public business phone number, public Facebook page, website, business description, photos, opening hours, and similar business information.

Do not submit private personal contact information that you do not want publicly associated with a business listing.

3. How We Use Information
