For the Holiday Shopping Guide 2026 website and printed guide, published by Local Loop with 415 Media Group. Last updated October 2026.

What we collect

Giveaway entries. If you enter a Holiday Shopping Guide giveaway, we collect the name and email address (and any other details) you provide on the entry form. We use them only to run the giveaway, contact winners, and — if you ask us to — send you updates about the guide.

Your Christmas List and saved plans. Items you save are stored in your own browser on your device. We do not receive a copy, and they are not tied to an account.

Basic usage data. We keep simple, non-identifying counts of which pages and listings are viewed (for example, how many people opened a business's page) so we can report results to local advertisers. These reports never identify individual visitors.

Advertiser information. Businesses that reserve advertising provide contact and business details so we can build their listing and process payment. This information is used only to fulfill the advertising order.

What we don't do

We don't sell your personal information. We don't add you to an email list without your permission, and every email we send includes a way to opt out. We don't require an account to browse the guide, save items, or plan your holiday.

Service providers

The site is hosted and payments for advertising are processed by trusted service providers (for example, our hosting platform and Stripe for advertiser payments). They process information only on our behalf and under their own privacy obligations. Giveaway entries, when a promotion is run with a sponsoring business, are shared with that sponsor only as stated on the giveaway page.

Links to local businesses

Business listings may link to third-party websites, maps, or phone numbers. Once you leave this site or contact a business directly, that business's own policies apply.

Children

The guide is intended for a general audience and we don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your choices

You can clear your saved items at any time from the My Christmas List page or by clearing your browser storage. To request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of any information you've given us (such as a giveaway entry), just ask.
