We don’t believe in fine print. This is where we keep it real about what we collect, why it matters, and how we respect your privacy on UphillSC.com — your go-to guide for Upstate South Carolina businesses and events.
Our Mission
UphillSC.com exists to spotlight the businesses, experiences, and services that make Upstate SC thrive. While you’re browsing or listing with us, we gather only what’s necessary — and we guard it like it’s our own.
What We Collect (and Why)
- Comments: When you leave a comment, we log what you submit, your IP address, and browser data. It helps us filter out bots and keep conversations real.
- Cookies: Used to save your settings, preferences, and keep your session active — not for tracking your entire life story.
- Listings & Forms: If you list your business, we collect what you submit. You’re in control of what’s public.
Embedded Stuff
We may include YouTube videos, social media posts, or maps. These might collect some data from you — same as if you visited those sites directly. Standard stuff.
Your Rights
You can request a copy of your data, or ask us to delete it. Reach out to support@uphillsc.com and we’ll handle it — no hoops.
How We Protect Your Info
We use secure servers, encryption, and access controls. No system is 100% hack-proof, but we don’t cut corners on protecting your data.
How Long We Keep It
Accounts and comments stick around unless you tell us otherwise. If you delete your account or request removal, we wipe your data (unless the law says otherwise).
We Don’t:
- Sell your data
- Send spam
- Trade info for clicks
Period.
Updates to This Policy
If things change, we’ll update this page. No silent changes. No tricks. Just straight-up transparency.
