The Site may contain links to websites or services that we do not own or control. Their privacy practices are separate from ours. You should review the privacy policies of any third party sites you visit.
The Site may also include areas where you can post comments, reviews, or other content that may be visible to others. Information you share in public or shared areas can be read, collected, or used by others. You should be careful when deciding what to share in these areas.
5. Updates and Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Date of last revision” at the top of the Policy. In some cases, we may provide additional notice, for example by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you an email.
Your continued use of the Site after any changes means you accept the updated Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the Site.
6. Children’s Information
The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided Personal Information to us without your consent, please contact us using the details in Section 10 so we can take appropriate action.
7. Supplemental Notice for Nevada Residents

Residents of some states, including California, Colorado, Maryland, Kentucky, Indiana, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, may have additional rights under state privacy laws. This section provides extra details that apply to residents of those states.
8.1 Categories of Personal Information We Collect and Share
In the twelve months before the date of this Policy, we may have collected the following categories of Personal Information, as defined by applicable state laws:
- Identifiers such as name, alias, postal address, email address, online identifiers, and account information
- Customer records such as contact and billing information, where applicable

We may disclose these categories of information to service providers, affiliates, analytics and advertising partners, and other parties described in Section 2.4 for business purposes allowed by law.
8.2 Use of Personal Information
We use the categories of Personal Information listed above for the purposes described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. We do not use the information for materially different purposes without providing additional notice or obtaining consent where required.
8.3 Sales or Sharing of Personal Information for Advertising
Some state laws define a “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information to include certain types of data sharing with third party advertising or analytics partners. When we allow such partners to collect or receive identifiers, online activity, or similar information from the Site, and they use that information to provide targeted advertising or cross context advertising, that activity may be considered a sale or sharing of Personal Information under those laws.
If you are a resident of a state where this applies, you may have the right to opt out of these sales or shares. You can exercise this right by adjusting your cookie preferences on the Site where such controls are offered, by using browser controls, or by contacting us as described in Section 10. Some browsers support signals that communicate your privacy preferences. Where required by law, we will treat those signals as an opt out request.
8.4 Your Rights and Choices
Subject to certain exceptions and depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the Personal Information we have collected about you
- Request deletion of your Personal Information, subject to legal and business exceptions
- Request correction of inaccurate Personal Information
- Opt out of certain sales or sharing of Personal Information for targeted advertising
- Receive more information about our data practices
You or an authorized agent can submit a request by contacting us as described in Section 10. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, which can include verifying your email address and asking for additional details.
If your state law gives you a right to appeal a decision we make about your request and we deny your request in whole or in part, we will provide information on how to submit an appeal.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. This means we will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level of service only because you exercised your rights, although some features may require certain data in order to function.
8.5 California Specific Disclosures
California law may require businesses to provide more details about certain requests received and how they were handled. If needed, we will provide additional information on request or maintain a summary of such information as required by law. We will update this section as those laws and requirements evolve.
9. User Content and Community Standards
LeafReporter may allow you to post comments, reviews, or other content. Content you choose to submit may be visible to other users or to the public. You should only post content that complies with our Terms of Use and any community guidelines, and you should avoid sharing sensitive Personal Information in public posts.
We may moderate, remove, or refuse to display content that we believe violates our policies or applicable law, or that may create risk for users or for LeafReporter. We are not responsible for information that other users may collect, copy, or share from public posts on the Site.
