Information we collect
Visitors: When you browse SpotLocal.in, our hosting provider and analytics tools (Google Analytics via MonsterInsights) may automatically collect basic technical information—your approximate location (country/city), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is aggregated and is not tied to your identity.
Scouts: If you register as a contributor (scout), we collect your name, email address, profile photo, neighbourhood, and any biographical details you choose to share. This information appears publicly on your scout profile page, as attribution for the spots you recommend.
Contact messages: If you email us at hello@spotlocal.in or submit a contact form, we retain your message and email address only for the purpose of responding.

- To prevent spam and abuse
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell user data to third parties

- We don’t use email addresses for marketing unless you explicitly opt in
Cookies
