Privacy Policy

Rockford Top Rated (rockfordtoprated.com) is published by N5 Studio in Rockford, Illinois. Questions about this policy go to hello@n5studio.com.

Where the business and ratings data comes from

Business listings are compiled from public sources, mainly Google Business Profiles. Ratings and review counts are retrieved from Google and shown with the date they were collected, not updated live; they move when Google updates, not when this site is rebuilt. If your business's information is wrong, see update your listing.

Advertising and sponsored placement

Some category pages carry a paid placement card. It is a separate card above the ranked list, labeled as advertising, and is never mixed into the ranked list itself: paying for placement does not change a business's rank. The plans, prices and what each one includes are stated on the advertise page, and that page is the source of truth if anything here is out of date.

What we collect from you

Browsing this site does not require an account and most pages collect nothing from you directly. If you submit the advertise enquiry form, we collect what you type in it: your business name, a phone number or email to reach you, and the category you picked. That is stored so we can follow up and confirm availability; it is not sold or shared with anyone outside the people who run this site.

Analytics and cookies

We work with Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use this site through behavioral metrics, heatmaps and session replay. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies. For more about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement. This site sets no other cookies.

How long we keep it

Advertise enquiries are kept for as long as needed to follow up and keep ordinary business records. If you ask us to delete yours sooner, we will.

Your choices

To see, correct or delete information we hold about you or your business, or to have a listing removed entirely, email hello@n5studio.com. Listing removals are handled within one week, at no charge. This site does not change how it works in response to a browser's Do Not Track signal.

Changes

When this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it.
