Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 20, 2024
This Privacy Notice discloses how we collect, use, share, or otherwise disclose information that we collect about you through our website (“Site”) and our services (“Services). As for who “we” are, we are CityPressMedia.Com, INC. (“CPM”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We take your privacy seriously. Please read this Privacy Notice carefully. By visiting and using the Site or our Services, you agree that your use of our Site and Services, and any dispute over our privacy practices, is governed by this Privacy Notice and our Terms of Service. Because the Internet is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Notice from time to time, in which case we’ll post the revised Privacy Notice on this Site and update the “Last Updated” date to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site or Services after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Notice as modified.
How We Collect Information
Information that You Provide to Us
We may collect and store information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name, postal address, telephone number, or email address) or other information that you voluntarily supply to us while on our Site or using our Services. Some examples of this type of information include information that you electronically submit when you contact us with questions, information that you post on discussion forums or other community posting and social networking areas on our Site, and information that you electronically submit when you complete an online registration form to access and use certain features of our Site. We also may ask for information (including a credit card number and other financial information) from those users who make purchases or have payment transactions on our Site or related to our Services. If you decline to supply or provide us with certain information while using the Site, you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered through the Site.
Information We Collect Automatically as You Use Our Site or Services
We also collect and store non-personally identifiable information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Site or use our Services. For example, we may collect commercial information such as your order history.
We may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, and/or third-party ad-serving software (collectively “cookies”), to collect non-personally identifiable information about site users and site activity, and we may use this information to, among other things, serve targeted advertisements on this site. We may combine or associate that information with other personal information we collect or receive. The information collected allows us to analyze how users use the site and to track user interests, trends and patterns, thus allowing us to deliver more relevant advertisements to users and to better tailor our Services to you.
By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. This Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages. For Site visitors that are not logged into their account, we do not employ tracking cookies or otherwise store device or location information. With respect to those who are logged into their accounts, however, we do store some device and location information, but it is redacted and decoupled from your user records once you request your information be deleted as applicable. See California Privacy Rights Notice, below.
We use Google Analytics to optimize our Site based on the traffic we receive, assist with marketing, and enhance the Services we provide to you. To learn more about Google Analytics, including options for opting out and/or managing the ads you may see online please visit: google.com/policies/privacy/partners. Additional information regarding online advertising is available at:
https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/what-are-my-options. To learn more about targeted advertising and the choices available to you, visit Webchoices: Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Choice Tool for Web US and NAI Consumer Opt Out.
We may also collect information about you and your friends who visit our Site from any social network you may have connected to our Site from to provide you a more personalized experience.
The information we collect may be collected directly by us, or it may be collected by a third-party website hosting provider, or another third-party service provider, on our behalf.

How We Use Information
We use the information we collect from you in a variety of ways, including, for example, to process your registration request, provide you with services and communications that you have requested, send you email updates and other communications, customize features and advertising that appear on the Site, deliver our Site content or Services to you, measure Site traffic, measure user interests and traffic patterns, recognize you as a customer, measure promotional effectiveness, help ensure that your account security is not compromised, mitigate risk and prevent fraud, promote trust and safety across our Site, make our services more useful to you, tailor the experience with us, ensure our Services meet your interests and needs, facilitate communication between us and you, enforce our agreements with you, provide you information we think may interest you such as company news and information about certain products and promotions, deliver marketing materials to you, display third-party advertisements that may interest you, respond to government-issued or other legal requests, and improve the Site and the Services.

How We Share Information
We may share your information with our affiliates, third-party service providers, and contractors, for purposes related to Site administration and our Services. For example, if you use a credit or debit card to complete a transaction on our Site, we may share your personal information and credit card number with a credit card processing and/or a fulfillment company in order to complete your transaction, or such service provider(s) may collect that information from you directly, on our behalf. We also share your information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, applicable law; if we believe your actions on our Site are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies or to protect the rights, property or safety of us or others; in connection with, or during negotiations of any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company; between and among our current or future parent, subsidiary and/or affiliated companies; with our business partner; with your consent or at your direction; as required to do so by law, in compliance with a legal process or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to investigate, protect or to defend the rights, safety or property of us, our customers or the public; to investigate or enforce perceived violations of our Terms of Use or this Privacy Notice; as evidence in litigation in which we are involved; and for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes.
We share your personal information with our third-party service providers in the course of our normal business operations and to provide our Services to you. In some circumstances we may “sell” your personal information as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act or the California Privacy Rights Act.
We also may make some content, products, and services available through our Site through cooperative relationships with third-party providers, where the brands of our provider partners appear on the Site in connection with such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider partners any information you provide, or that is collected in the course of visiting any pages or purchasing any coupons, products, or services that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner.
We may also share aggregated information, which is information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you to third parties.
If you do not wish your personally identifiable information to be used or shared for these purposes, registered members of our Site can log into the Site, view the Personal Information page, and select the option to delete. We do not retain personal information other than for registered users.
Links and Third-Party Relationships
Our Site may include links to other websites and may provide access to products and services offered by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of such other websites. When you access another website or purchase products or services from a third party, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy notice of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services. Please read the privacy statements of each website you visit as this Privacy Notice only applies to information collected by us through this Site or our Services. Any links to other websites are for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of such websites or their contents.

California Privacy Rights Notice
This portion of the Privacy Policy applies solely to California consumers (“consumers” or “you”). We have adopted this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other California privacy laws. The purpose of this Notice is to provide you with a description of our online practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information and of the rights you have regarding your personal information. As used in this Notice, any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.
Shine the Light
Pursuant to Section 1798.83-.84 of the California Civil Code, residents of California have the right to request from a business, with whom the California resident has an established business relationship, what types of personal information, if any, the business shares with third parties for direct marketing purposes by such third party and the identities of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information in the immediately preceding calendar year. To access this information, please submit a request to
HelpDesk@LOCALCityDeals.com with “CA Shine the Light Request” in the Subject field. Please note that, under the law, we are not required to respond to your request more than once in a calendar year, nor are we required to respond to any requests that are not submitted to

California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)
Your Right to Know About the Personal Information We Collect About You
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“personal information”). The Sections above titled “How We Collect Information,” “How We Use Information,” and “How We Share Information” set forth the categories of personal information that we collect and process about you, a description of each category, and the source of how we obtain each category. Specifically, the information we may collect includes identifiers, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, user name, and/or email address; personal protected information categories including your name, address, telephone number, and/or credit card information; commercial information, such as order history; and Internet activity in the form of your interaction with our Site.
Your Rights and Choices
Under California Laws, California residents can exercise three privacy rights (Disclosure and Access; Deletion; and “Do Not Sell My Personal Information”) (collectively, “Rights”). These Rights are not absolute and are subject to certain exceptions, including certain applicant/employment data/relationships and business-to-business (B2B) data/relationships. Further, and by way of example as to the limitations of some of the Rights, we cannot disclose or permit access to specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure or access would present a certain level of risk to the security of the personal information, your account with us, or the security of our systems or networks.
A record concerning the requests may be maintained pursuant to our legal obligations. Further, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if such request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
Disclosure and Access Requests
With respect to your right to know the categories of Personal Information we collected about you, under the CCPA we are permitted to refer you to our general practices outlined in this Privacy Policy, because our response would be the same for all consumers and this Privacy Policy discloses all the information that is otherwise required to be in a response to a request to know such categories. Specifically, in the prior 12 months, we have collected the following categories of Personal Information (“PI”):
Category of PI | Specific Information | Source | Business Purpose | Third Party to which Disclosed
Identifiers | Name, postal address, telephone number, user name, and/or email address | Directly from you as a registered user | To provide you with our Services and/or to improve our Site | Credit card processing and/or fulfillment company
Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)). | Name, address, telephone number, and/or credit card information | Directly from you as a registered user | To provide you with our Services; for billing and/or refunding purposes | Credit card processing and/or fulfillment company
Commercial Information | Order history | Directly from you as a registered user | To provide you with or improve our Services | Not disclosed
Internet Activity | Your interactions with our Site, including browser information | Indirectly from you, through your use of our Site | To provide you with our Services and/or to improve our Site | Customer relationship management platform
Geolocation Data | Your location (latitude/longitude) | Indirectly from you, as a registered user | To provide you with or improve our Services | Not disclosed
Specific Pieces of Information Request
In order to view and/or access the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request), registered members of our Site can log into the Site and view the Personal Information page. We do not retain specific pieces of personal information other than for registered users.
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete personal information that we collected about you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. In order to request deletion of the personal information we collected about you, registered members of our Site can log into the Site, view the Personal Information page, and select the option to delete. We do not retain personal information other than for registered users.
Once we receive your request made through your account, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. A deletion request may be denied, in full or in part, if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
- Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Opt Out of the Sale of Personal Information
If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind at any time. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. To submit an opt-out request, contact us at
HelpDesk@LOCALCityDeals.com.
If you need further assistance exercising the Disclosure and Deletion rights described above, please contact us at
HelpDesk@LOCALCityDeals.com.
Request Made Through Agents
You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, verify the agent’s identity, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us. (The verification requirement does not apply if the consumer has provided the authorized agent with legal power of attorney under California Probate Code Sections 400 to 4465.) Authorized agents can contact us through the email address or phone number directly above.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services.
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
