Privacy Policy

Effective September 30, 2026

We collect only what we need to sell ad space, mail the card and run the site, and we don’t sell personal information.

What we collect

Information we collect and why

Ad content you give us (text, logos, photos, files)To design, print and archive your ad

Messages to a businessIf you write a business through its Fairy List page, we store your name, how to reach you, and the message, and we email that message to the business
WaitlistIf a category is taken, you can leave your email and business name. We email you once if that category opens
Claiming a Fairy List pageWe text a code to the phone number already listed for that business, to confirm you have that phone
Website projectsIf you order a website, we keep the questionnaire answers, the photos you upload, and the card saved for the monthly care plan
Estimate emails (optional)If you use “Email me this estimate” on the estimator, we save your email with the numbers you entered (business type, spot, job value and rates) to send you the estimate and follow up about it. Ask us any time and we’ll delete it
Site usage (pages viewed, device, browser)To keep the site working and improve it, through cookies and analytics. We also use the Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel on our public pages to measure and improve our ads and to show ads to people who visited the site
Business listings on The Fairy ListPublic business details (name, trade, business phone and address) from public sources, so local businesses appear in our free directory. Any business can claim, edit or remove its page at any time, and removed businesses are never added again
Emails to listed businessesWe may email a listed business about its free page. Those emails count opens and clicks (with a tiny image and tracked links) so we don’t send more than needed. Every one has an unsubscribe link that works immediately

We do not collect the names or addresses of people who receive the card. USPS delivers to every address on the route without a mailing list.
