Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 29, 2026
Who we are
The Neighborhood Media (“Neighborhood Media,” “we,” “us”) publishes curated local business directories mailed to new homeowners and new residents across Morris County, New Jersey. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
When a business submits the application form, we collect the details entered in it: business name, your name, email address, phone number, preferred way to be contacted, business category, location and areas served, website and social media links, the services offered, a description of the business, Google Business Profile link, years in business, the edition(s) of interest, any notes you add, and whether you’d like to receive email updates.
When you request a free sample, we collect your business name, your name, business category, email address and the mailing address where you would like the sample sent. We use it to mail your sample and to follow up with you about it.
We do not ask for payment details on this website. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
How we use it
We use application information to review your business, decide whether it is a fit for an edition, contact you about next steps, and prepare your placement if you are approved. We may also use your contact details to reply to your questions and to tell you about upcoming editions you have shown interest in. For time-sensitive updates about your application, such as an approval, we may also call or text the phone number you provide. We do not send marketing text messages.
If you choose to receive email updates, we’ll occasionally send news about new editions and openings in your category. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.
Where it is stored and who sees it
Applications are delivered to us by email and recorded in a private Google spreadsheet, so Google processes that information on our behalf. This website is served by a hosting provider, which may receive technical information such as your IP address when you visit.
We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the website and our business, or when the law requires it. If you are approved, the business name, phone number and other details you choose to provide appear in the printed directory.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use this website, for example which pages are viewed and how visitors arrived. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, and the pages you visit. It does not give us your name or contact details, and we do not use it to identify you. Google processes this information on our behalf under its own privacy policy.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We also use the Meta Pixel, a tool from Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram), to measure how our ads perform and to show our ads to people who have visited this website. It uses cookies and shares information such as the pages you visit and actions you take, like submitting a form, with Meta. It does not send the contents of our forms. You can manage how Meta uses this information for ads in your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences, and you can block cookies in your browser settings.
How long we keep it
We keep application information for as long as we need it to consider your application, run the edition you take part in, and keep reasonable business records. You can ask us to delete it sooner.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information you have given us, or ask us to stop contacting you, by emailing the address below. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
