Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 21, 2026

The short version: we collect what we need to run NearbyLA — your email when you sign up or subscribe, your listings and applications, and basic web analytics. We don't sell your data.

What we collect

Account info — email address (and password if you choose that sign-in method) when you create an account.
Content you create — job postings, gig postings, applications, messages, and saved searches.
Newsletter info — email address and (optionally) neighborhood / category preferences if you subscribe.
Payment info — Stripe processes payments. We see transaction metadata (amount, status, product) but not card numbers.
Usage analytics — anonymous page-view counts via Vercel. No personal profile is built from this.

How we use it

To show your listings to people in your area.
To deliver applications and messages to posters.
To send the newsletter / alerts you opted in to (one-click unsubscribe in every email).
To process payments.
To detect fraud, spam, and abuse.

What we share

We don't sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers we need to run the site:

Supabase — database hosting
Vercel — application hosting
Stripe — payments
An email-sending service (when we wire up actual newsletter sending)

When you apply to a gig or post a listing, the relevant contact info is shown to the other party — that's the point of the listing.

Your choices

Delete your account anytime — email hello@nearbyla.com and we'll remove your data within 30 days.
Unsubscribe from emails using the link in any email we send.
California residents have additional rights under CCPA — email us to request a copy of your data or to opt out of any sale (we don't sell, but we'll confirm in writing).

Cookies

We use cookies for sign-in sessions and basic preference state (e.g. remembering your last filter). No third-party advertising cookies.
