Terms of Service

Welcome to Rockland Connected, a community directory and newsletter for Rockland County, NY. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What we provide

Rockland Connected publishes directories of local businesses, events, classes, clubs, and community resources, plus editorial content and a newsletter. Listings are gathered from public sources and from community submissions. We work to keep them accurate, but hours, prices, schedules, and availability change — always confirm details with the business or organizer before making a trip.

Accounts and listings

• You're responsible for the content you submit and for keeping your account credentials secure.
• By submitting a listing, you confirm you have the right to share its content (including photos) and you grant us permission to display it on the site and feature it in the newsletter and social channels.
• Listings must be local, lawful, and honest. We may edit, decline, or remove any listing at our discretion — for example spam, misrepresentation, or content that doesn't serve the community.
• If you own a business listed here and want your listing updated or removed, contact us and we'll take care of it.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the site: no scraping at scale, no attempts to break or overload it, no impersonating others, no posting unlawful, harassing, or deceptive content, and no using contact details from listings for unsolicited marketing.

Groups and conversations

• Local groups are open community spaces. Your membership and anything you post there may be visible to anyone visiting the site.
• Keep group names and posts relevant, lawful, and neighborly. Harassment, hate, threats, doxxing, impersonation, spam, and unsafe or deceptive content are not allowed.
• You keep ownership of what you post and give us permission to display, format, and moderate it as needed to operate the service.
• We may hide or remove posts, suspend groups or accounts, and preserve records needed to review abuse reports or meet legal obligations.

Content and ownership

The site's editorial content, design, and branding belong to Rockland Connected. Content you submit stays yours — you just give us the license described above to display it. Third-party names, logos, and photos belong to their owners.

Disclaimers

The site is provided "as is." We make no warranties about the accuracy or completeness of listings or editorial content, and we aren't responsible for the businesses, events, or organizations listed — your dealings with them are between you and them. To the fullest extent allowed by law, our liability arising from your use of the site is limited.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Meaningful changes will be reflected on this page with a new date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
