Privacy Policy for Small Finder
Last updated: 6/9/2026
Small Finder (“the App”) is provided by RichardsonCreatives LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, how it is shared, and the rights you have under applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the privacy requirements of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
1. Information We Collect
A. No Collection of Precision Location Data
Small Finder does not collect, store, or transmit precision location data.
While the App may request device-level location permission to enable map functionality, location data remains on your device and is not collected by RichardsonCreatives LLC or transmitted to our servers.
B. Usage and Diagnostic Data
We collect aggregated usage and diagnostic data through third-party analytics tools provided by:
- Apple Analytics Reports API
- Google Play Console Statistics
This may include:
- Crash reports
- Performance metrics
- Device and OS information
- Feature interaction data
- Aggregated analytics such as:
- Daily and monthly active users
- Total installs
- User-perceived crash rate
- User acquisitions
- Store listing visitors
- Aggregated data sortable by OS version, country, app version, and install state
Participation in Apple and Google’s analytics programs is controlled by you at the device or account level. You may opt in or opt out separately with each platform.
In addition to the aggregated usage and diagnostic data provided by Apple and Google, Small Finder also processes anonymous, event‑level analytics generated within the App. These analytics do not include personal data, identifiers, or location information. They are used solely to understand how features are used and to improve App functionality.
Examples of anonymous in‑app events include:
- Number of views for a business profile
- Most common search terms
- Number of taps on categories or features
- General interaction patterns within the App
These events are processed without collecting user identities, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, or user properties.
C. No Personal Account Data
Small Finder does not require user accounts and does not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
D. No Tracking or Advertising Data
Small Finder does not:
- Track users across apps or websites
- Use advertising identifiers
- Share data with advertisers
- Use third-party advertising networks
E. Anonymous Usage Analytics
Small Finder uses anonymous, event‑based analytics to understand how the App is used and to improve overall performance. These analytics capture only non‑identifiable interactions such as:
- Searches performed
- Categories or features tapped
- Business profiles viewed
This information is processed in an aggregated and anonymous form. Small Finder does not collect:
- Personal information
- User properties
- Device identifiers
- Advertising identifiers
- Precise or approximate location
Analytics events cannot be used to identify any individual user or device.
2. Purpose of Data Collection
We process usage and diagnostic data for the following purposes:
- To improve app performance, stability, and user experience
- To identify and resolve crashes or technical issues
- To understand general usage trends and app engagement
- To maintain security and prevent misuse
- To comply with legal obligations
Because we do not collect precision location data, no location information is used for analytics, tracking, or personalization.
Anonymous in‑app analytics are used solely to understand feature usage, improve App performance, and enhance the user experience. This data is not used for advertising, tracking across apps or websites, or profiling.
3. Data Sharing Practices
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share aggregated diagnostic data only in the following circumstances:
A. Service Providers
Analytics data is processed by:
- Apple Analytics Reports API
- Google Play Console Statistics
- Segment (anonymous event routing)
- Amplitude (anonymous product analytics)
These partners receive only non‑identifiable, event‑level information. They do not receive personal data, user properties, device identifiers, or location data from the App.
B. Legal Compliance
We may disclose information if required to:
- Comply with applicable laws
- Respond to lawful requests
- Protect our rights, users, or the public
C. Business Transfers
If RichardsonCreatives LLC undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Links to Third-Party Websites and Services
Small Finder may display links to third‑party websites, business pages, or contact forms. The App may also link to the Small Finder website for features such as nominating a business, reporting a bug, or submitting a support request.
These external sites and services are not operated within the App and may collect personal information that Small Finder does not collect.
RichardsonCreatives LLC is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, data handling, security, or availability of any third‑party websites or of the Small Finder website’s forms. Any information you choose to provide through these external forms is governed by the privacy policy of the respective website, not this App Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites or forms you visit or submit information through.
5. User Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable laws:
- Right to Access — Request a copy of data we hold about you
- Right to Deletion — Request deletion of data, subject to legal exceptions
- Right to Opt-Out — Opt out of analytics sharing via Apple or Google device settings
- Right to Correction — Request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to Restrict or Object to Processing (GDPR)

6. Security Measures
We take reasonable measures to protect data, including:
- Encryption of data in transit
- Secure communication protocols
- Access controls
- Monitoring for vulnerabilities
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information.
7. Children’s Privacy
Small Finder is not intended for children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
8. Contact Information Accuracy and Voluntary Submissions
Small Finder does not collect personal information directly within the App. However, the App may link to business websites or to the Small Finder website, where you may voluntarily submit personal information such as your name, email address, or message through nomination forms, bug reports, or support requests.
Any information you choose to provide through these external forms is submitted directly to the receiving business or to RichardsonCreatives LLC through our website, not through the App. This information is governed by the privacy policy of the respective website.
We are not responsible for how businesses use or store the information you provide to them. If you submit information through the Small Finder website, it will be handled according to the website’s privacy policy.
9. International Data Transfers
If you are located outside the United States, your data may be processed in the U.S. We implement safeguards consistent with GDPR requirements for international transfers.
10. Data Retention
Aggregated analytics data provided by Apple and Google is retained according to their respective retention policies. RichardsonCreatives LLC does not store or retain any personal data. Anonymous in‑app analytics events are retained only in aggregated form and cannot be linked to any individual user or device.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted within the App or on our website, and the “Last updated” date will be revised accordingly.
