Privacy Policy

The Purple Book, powered by The Good News Co., respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

• Account details: your email address, name, and city when you create an account.
• Membership details: your plan and billing status. Card payments are handled by our payment processor, Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
• What you add: business submissions, ratings, saved businesses, job posts, applications, reports, and contact form messages.
• Basic usage data, such as pages visited, to keep the site working and improve it.

How we use it

• To run your account and membership and unlock member features.
• To show business listings, ratings, and job posts in the directory.
• To reply to your messages and send account emails, like password resets.
• To keep the community safe and review reported content.

What we share

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting, email, and payments), or when the law requires it. Business listing details you submit are shown publicly in the directory.

Your choices

You can update your account details, cancel your membership, or remove your ratings at any time. To delete your account or ask what we hold about you, contact us.

Changes

We may update this policy as The Purple Book grows. We'll post the new version here with a new date.
