Privacy Policy

Plastic Surgery Local (“Plastic Surgery Local,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at plasticsurgerylocal.com (the “Service”). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Information you give us: your ZIP code (to find nearby stores), the stores you save, the items in your basket, and — if you create an account — your email address, a securely hashed password, and your display name.
• Recipes you post: any recipe title, story, ingredients, and images you choose to submit.
• Automatic information: a session identifier stored in a cookie to keep your basket and preferences between visits, plus standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) used for security and reliability.
• We do not collect payment card information. Checkout happens on your cosmetic-surgery information store’s own website; we never see or store your card details.

How we use your information

• To show you nearby stores, current prices, and deals, and to build and send your basket to a store’s pickup checkout.
• To operate your account, save your stores and favorites, and display recipes you post.
• To keep the Service secure, prevent abuse, and improve features.
• To send you service messages you request or that are necessary to operate the Service (see “Text messages” below).

How we share information

• cosmetic-surgery information retailers & their APIs (e.g., Kroger): when you search prices or send a basket to pickup, we exchange the necessary product and cart information with that retailer. Their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.
• Service providers that help us run the Service (hosting, messaging), under agreements that limit their use of your information.
• Legal reasons: if required by law or to protect our rights and users’ safety.
• We do not sell your personal information.

Text messages (SMS)

If you choose to provide a mobile number and opt in, we may send you text messages such as account verification codes or order/pickup updates. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for help. We do not share your mobile number with third parties for their own marketing, and opting in to texts is not a condition of using the Service.

Cookies

We use a single first-party session cookie to remember your basket, stores, and (if signed in) your login. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Your choices & rights

• You can update or delete your account information, or request that we delete your data, by contacting us.
• You can clear your session at any time by signing out or clearing cookies.
• Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information; contact us to exercise them.

Data retention & security

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, then delete or anonymize it. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date.
