Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://findnrate.com
FindnRate is a local business listing and review platform where users can discover, list, and review local businesses.
Comments
When visitors leave comments or reviews on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments or review form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection and maintain the security of the website.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be used internally to display your profile image, if applicable. After approval, your comment or review and profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your contribution.
Business Listings & User Submissions
When you submit a business listing, claim a business, or post a review on FindnRate.com, we may collect information such as:
- Business name, address, phone number, and website
- Business category and description
- Your name and email address
- Reviews, ratings, and uploaded content
This information is used to display listings on the website and to improve our services.

If you upload images to the website (such as business photos or logos), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images available on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, review, or submit a listing on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and will last for one year.
If you visit our login or signup page, we may set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites
Listings, reviews, or articles on this site may include embedded content (such as Google Maps, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content.
