Privacy Policy

How Look4Me collects, uses, and protects your information.

Last updated: June 2026

Look4Me ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website look4me.com.au.

Information you provide directly

  • Name, email, and phone number when submitting or referring a business listing
  • Google account information when signing in with Google (name, email, profile photo)
  • Business details submitted through our forms

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data (pages visited, search terms)
  • Device and browser information
  • IP address and approximate location
  • AI Assistant (Lena): When you interact with our AI assistant Lena, your queries and conversation content are processed by Anthropic's Claude API. These interactions may be used to improve our service. View Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy

When you use the business card scanning feature, you may choose to take a photo or upload an image from your device. This image is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI API for text extraction only. The image is processed to extract business contact information and is not stored by Look4Me or Anthropic beyond the duration of the API request. We do not store, share, or use your photos for any other purpose.

When you use the "From Your Contacts" or "From My Contacts App" features, only the specific contact details you select and choose to share are used to pre-fill the referral form. We do not access, read, or store your broader contacts list. The contact data you share is used solely to populate the business referral form and is subject to the same data handling as any manually entered information.

When you use the Google Maps search or link features, we query the Google Places API to retrieve business information. This data โ€” including business name, address, phone number, website, coordinates, and opening hours โ€” is stored in our database and associated with the business listing. This data is sourced from Google and is subject to Google's Terms of Service. We store a Google Place ID to identify and update listings over time.

Look4Me uses Anthropic's Claude AI to power the business card scanning feature and the Lena chat assistant. When you interact with these features, your input (image or text) is processed by Anthropic's API. Conversations with Lena may be stored to improve response quality. We do not share personally identifiable information with Anthropic beyond what is necessary to provide the service. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy at anthropic.com/privacy for more information.

If you enable push notifications, we store a push subscription token associated with your account. This token is used only to send you notifications about your referrals, listings, and badges. You can disable push notifications at any time from your device settings or from your Look4Me notification preferences.
