Privacy policy

Medford and Friends (aroundmedford.com) is a local business directory run by Automate XYZ LLC, a web design and marketing company based in Medford, New Jersey. This page says what we collect, why, and who sees it. Questions go to hello@automatexyz.co.

If you are just browsing

• We do not set advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not build a profile of you.
• We count how often each listing, town page and service page is opened, and how often a listing's website, phone or directions link is clicked. Each count records the page, the time and which site it happened on. It does not record your IP address, a cookie or any visitor ID.
• Our hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard server logs that include IP addresses for security and reliability.
• Fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser makes a request to Google when a page loads.

If you use a form

• Newsletter. Your email address, used only to send the Medford and Friends newsletter. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Message to a business. Your name, email, phone if you give it, and your message. We send it to the business and keep a copy so we can sort out delivery problems.
• Submit an event. The event details, which are published if approved, and your name and email, which are not published. We use them only to ask about the event.
• Add or claim a business. The business details you enter, which are published on the listing, plus the owner's name, email and phone, which are not published. If you search for your business on Google from the form, what you type is sent to Google to find it. Logos and photos you upload are stored privately until the listing is approved.
• Free visibility check or website help. If you tick that box, Automate XYZ will contact you about it. If you leave it unticked, we will not use your details for marketing.

If you own a listed business

Listings are added by the business, or by us for Automate XYZ clients. Claiming a listing lets you see its view and click counts on a private page and get a monthly summary by email, which you can turn off from any of those emails. To correct or remove a listing, email us.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal information. We use these companies to run the site, and they handle data only to provide their service:

• Vercel, for hosting.
• Supabase, for the database.
• Resend, for sending email.
• Cloudflare, for file storage and DNS.
• Google, for the business lookup on the listing form.
• Stripe, for payment on paid listings. We never see or store card numbers.

Messages you send to a business go to that business, which handles them under its own policies.

How long we keep it

We keep form submissions and listing details while the listing or request is active and delete them when you ask. View and click counts are kept without anything that identifies a visitor.
