Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how LocalBoost collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you use our website and services.

1. Information we collect

Depending on how you use LocalBoost, we may collect information including:

• Your name and email address.
• Your business name and business information.
• Information you enter into your LocalBoost business profile.
• Services, locations, offers and marketing information you provide.
• Account, subscription and plan information.
• Information required to provide AI-generated marketing content.
• Advertising preferences and information you provide when connecting supported advertising services.
• Technical information necessary to operate and secure your account, such as session information.
• Communications you send to us.

2. Payment information

Subscription payments are processed by Stripe. LocalBoost does not need to store your complete payment-card details on our own systems.

Stripe may process information such as your payment details, billing information, transaction details and other information necessary to process and protect payments.

3. How we use your information

We may use your information to:

• Create and manage your LocalBoost account.
• Provide the services you request.
• Generate marketing content using artificial intelligence.
• Manage subscriptions, usage limits and account access.
• Save your business profile and preferences.
• Connect supported third-party advertising accounts when you ask us to do so.
• Provide customer support.
• Prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents.
• Maintain, troubleshoot and improve LocalBoost.
• Meet our legal, tax and regulatory obligations.

4. Our lawful bases for processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, our lawful bases may include:

• Contract: where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract with you.
• Legitimate interests: where necessary for the legitimate operation, security and improvement of LocalBoost, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation: where we need to process information to comply with applicable law.
• Consent: where we specifically ask for and rely upon your consent.

5. Artificial intelligence

LocalBoost uses artificial intelligence services to help generate marketing materials based on information supplied by users.

Information entered into AI-generation features may be transmitted to technology providers that process the information on our behalf in order to generate the requested output.

You should not enter confidential personal information, passwords, payment-card information, special-category personal data, or information you do not have permission to use into AI prompts.

AI-generated material may contain errors. Users should review generated content before publishing or relying on it.

6. Advertising account connections

LocalBoost may allow users to connect supported third-party advertising services, including Google Ads.

When you choose to connect an external account, the relevant provider may provide LocalBoost with authorisation information required to maintain that connection.

We only use connected-account information for the functionality you request and in accordance with the permissions granted through the relevant provider.

7. Who we may share information with

We may use trusted service providers to operate LocalBoost. Depending on the services you use, these may include providers of:

• Website hosting and infrastructure.
• Database and cloud services.
• Artificial intelligence services.
• Payment processing.
• Email delivery.
• Advertising-platform integrations.
• Security and technical services.

These providers may process information only where necessary to provide their respective services, subject to their applicable terms and data protection obligations.

We may also disclose information where required by law, a court order, or an authorised regulatory or law-enforcement request.

8. International data transfers

Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will take reasonable steps to ensure an appropriate transfer mechanism or safeguard applies.

9. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing your account and services, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and complying with legal, accounting and tax requirements.

Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security, and users are responsible for protecting their own account credentials.

11. Cookies and session technology

LocalBoost may use cookies or similar browser technologies that are necessary for functions such as keeping users securely logged in and maintaining account sessions.

If we introduce non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking cookies that require consent under applicable UK law, we will provide appropriate information and consent controls.

12. Marketing communications

Where LocalBoost sends marketing communications, we will do so in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic-marketing requirements.

Where required, marketing emails will provide a method to unsubscribe or object to further marketing.

13. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including:

• The right to be informed.
• The right of access.
• The right to rectification.
• The right to erasure.
• The right to restrict processing.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to object to certain processing.
• Rights relating to certain automated decision-making and profiling.

These rights are subject to legal conditions and exemptions and do not apply in every situation.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK regulator responsible for data protection.

15. Children's privacy

LocalBoost is intended for businesses and adults capable of entering into contracts. Our services are not intended for children.
