What we collect, and why.

Who we are

Threshold Local builds private website previews for Chicago-area local service businesses. You can reach us any time at hello@thresholdlocal.com or (312) 767-8332.

What we collect

When you request a free preview, we collect the information you choose to send us: your business name, your name, and email (required), and optionally your phone number, city or service area, current website or web presence, and any message you add.

To build your preview, we also look at information your business has already made public — for example your Google Business Profile, public reviews, photos, and listed services. We only use what is publicly available or what you send us.

Like most websites, we keep privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics about page visits (such as which pages are viewed). This is not used to identify you personally.

How we use it

We use your information for one purpose: to research your business, build your private preview, and reply to you about it. A real person reviews every request — nothing is sent, launched, or approved automatically.

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers or data brokers. We do not add you to marketing lists you did not ask for.

Where your request goes

Form submissions are delivered to Threshold Local so we can respond. We use trusted service providers to host the site and route form submissions; they process this data only to provide that service.

How long we keep it

We keep preview requests only as long as needed to respond and, if you launch, to provide your website service. Ask us to delete your information at any time and we will.

Your choices

You can ask us what we hold, correct it, or delete it by emailing hello@thresholdlocal.com. Sending a preview request is entirely optional, and there is no obligation, deposit, or contract to see your preview.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will post the new version on this page. Questions? Email hello@thresholdlocal.com.
