703 Business Directory helps people find local businesses, events, and guides across Northern Virginia. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how advertising works on the site.

Information We Collect

We collect information you give us when you create an account, claim a listing, submit a business, request a quote, leave a review, join the newsletter, or contact us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, business details, website, message content, and listing updates.

We also collect basic site usage information such as pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location from browser or server logs, device type, browser type, and IP address. We use this to keep the site secure, improve listings, and understand which local pages are useful.

Advertising, Cookies, and Google

We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising services. Google and other third party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, and personalize advertising where allowed.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ad Settings. You can also learn about choices for interest based advertising at aboutads.info choices.

To verify, moderate, and improve business listings and local guides.
To respond to business owners, readers, sponsors, and support requests.
To prevent spam, abuse, fraud, and security issues.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us host, secure, email, analyze, advertise, or operate the site. We may also disclose information if required by law or needed to protect the site, users, businesses, or the public.

Business Listings and Public Content

Business names, categories, websites, phone numbers, public addresses, reviews, owner responses, submitted events, and listing descriptions may be displayed publicly. Do not submit private information that you do not want shown in the directory.
