What we collect
Scan details: the business name, trade, city and website you enter. Scan results are saved so you can view and share your report link.
Contact details: if you ask us to contact you, to email you a report, or to send you our checklist, we store the name, email and phone number you give us. Checklist signups also get occasional tips by email; reply “unsubscribe” (or email us) to stop them.
Basic technical data: like any website, our hosting provider processes IP addresses and similar data to serve pages and prevent abuse. We use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views and where visitors came from without cookies.
How we use it
To run scans, show reports, contact you when you ask us to, provide our paid services, and prevent misuse. We don’t sell your personal information.
Who processes it for us
Scans send business names, trades and cities (not your contact details) to AI providers such as OpenAI, Perplexity and Google to get their answers. We use Vercel for hosting, Supabase for our database, Resend to send email, and Shopify for checkout and payments (in our LocalPick AI store). Each handles data under its own privacy terms.
Report links
Anyone with a report link can view that report. Report pages are not listed in search engines. Our public “Who AI recommends” pages show only what AI tools answered about a trade and city.
The Lead Tracker script on our clients’ websites
Some of our clients add a small LocalPick AI script to their own website. It counts how many visitors arrive from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, and whether those visitors tap the phone number, send a form, or open a text or directions link. It also keeps one total of phone-number taps from all visitors.
The script sets no cookies and does no fingerprinting. It sends us only the name of the event, which AI tool the visit came from, and the page address without anything after a question mark. It never sends names, contact details or what someone types into a form. We keep daily totals per business, not a record of each visitor, and we don’t store IP addresses (a short-lived scrambled form is used in memory to stop abuse). We never change a client’s phone number and never record calls.
Clients are welcome to add this to their own privacy policy: “We use LocalPick AI to count, without cookies, how many visitors reach this site from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, and whether they tap our phone number or send a form. It does not collect names, contact details or what you type into forms, and it does not store IP addresses.”
Partner referral links
If you reach us through a partner agency’s link, we remember that partner’s code in your browser’s local storage (not a cookie) for 90 days, and pass it to checkout if you subscribe, so the partner gets credit. It identifies the partner, not you.
