What we collect. What we do not sell.

LocalCite evaluates public web evidence for a named local business. It is never a “best business” ranking. This page is the honest account of data we touch when you use the site or pay.

Public-web research

A Snapshot reads pages anyone can open: directories, the official site, review hosts, and editorial lists. Facts we publish come from those pages. We do not invent reviews, dollar prices, or a city rank. A blocked page is not treated as absent.

Payment and email

Checkout is Stripe, in USD. Stripe collects the card (or wallet) and the email you give Stripe. LocalCite does not see full card numbers. After you pay, send the business name, city, profession, and optional website so we can research the right subject.

WhatsApp and email contact

Questions and intake can go to WhatsApp +353 838698272 or [email protected]. That inbox is a contact address. It is not a 24/7 staffed helpdesk. We read messages when a person is available.

What we do not do

We do not sell customer lists. We do not sell your email or WhatsApp number. We do not run display ads against a score. Monitor file “uploads” on this site stay in your browser until you send them yourself.
