4. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share information only in the following circumstances:

- Public business profiles: Information submitted by Business Owners for their public profile — including business name, phone number, location, category, services, and photos — is displayed publicly on the platform and may be indexed by search engines.
- Service providers: We work with third-party vendors for hosting infrastructure, transactional email delivery, platform analytics, and payment processing. These providers access your data only as needed to perform services on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Corpus Near Me, our users, or the public.

- Use Consumer information only to fulfill the specific service requested — not for marketing or other unrelated purposes without explicit consent
- Refrain from selling, renting, or sharing Consumer information with unrelated third parties
- Maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect Consumer data
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide our services. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by contacting us at hello@corpusnearme.com.
Booking and transaction records may be retained for up to three (3) years following the date of the transaction to support dispute resolution, legal compliance, and audit purposes. Aggregate and anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely.
