Privacy & storage
Plain-language data notice
Effective July 11, 2026. This describes the current Leafy Updates development release and will be updated before production features or data practices materially change.
Browser storage and cookies
Leafy stores a first-party value in your browser's local storage after you confirm that you are 21 or older. We may also store basic interface preferences. This information stays in your browser until you clear site data. After you register or log in, Leafy sets an essential HTTP-only session cookie so the server can recognize your account. The cookie is unavailable to browser JavaScript, is limited to Leafy, and expires or can be revoked. Leafy does not currently set advertising or analytics cookies and does not currently load advertising trackers.
If optional analytics, advertising, or third-party embeds are added, Leafy will update this notice and add consent or opt-out controls where required before those tools are activated.
Information you submit
Waitlist forms, job applications, inquiries, profile claims, and verification requests may collect contact and business information you choose to provide. Manual verification may include a private image of an OMMA employee credential. Credential images are not public profile assets and should be retained only as long as needed for review, audit, or dispute handling.
Public and enriched business records
Leafy combines public licensing records with best-effort matching and publicly available business details such as websites, hours, logos, addresses, and public contact channels. Businesses can claim profiles and control visibility for contacts they manage. Public record matches may be imperfect and should be verified with the issuing authority before a critical decision.
Contact and choices
You can clear the age acknowledgement through your browser's site data controls. For access, correction, deletion, or privacy questions, contact privacy@leafyupdates.com.
