Our website address is: https://narrowthelist.com.
Data Collected Through Our Search Tools
Narrow The List provides interactive tools to help users filter, compare, and match U.S. cities and metropolitan areas based on lifestyle preferences. The criteria, keywords, and population filters you input into our search tools are processed anonymously to generate your location matches. We do not link these search preferences to any personally identifiable information unless you explicitly submit them to us via a contact or feedback form.
Comments and Feedback
When visitors leave comments or submit feedback on the site, we collect the data shown in the form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com. After approval of your comment or submission, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment or interact with specific features on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles and location profiles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, maps, charts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Anonymous, aggregated search trends and location match statistics may be analyzed internally to improve our directory tools.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment or feedback submission, the data and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up interactions automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Website administrators can see and edit that information at any time.
What rights you have over your data
If you have interacted with this site or left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor feedback and comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
