Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 12, 2026
Tulsa Finds is built by a local, for locals. Your information exists to make the site work — not to be packaged up and sold to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. That's a promise, not fine print.
Who we are
Tulsa Finds is an independent local discovery site covering coffee shops, vintage stores, and bakeries across the Tulsa metro. It is operated by Michael Dambold, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Advertising disclosure: Some listings are "featured" placements, which are paid. Featured listings appear with a "Paid feature" label. Our editorial standards and vibe scoring apply equally to all listings — payment does not influence scores or written descriptions.
What information we collect
We collect very little. Here's what we actually gather when you use the site:
- Location data — if you grant permission, your browser's approximate location is used to sort listings by distance. It is never stored on our servers.
- Basic analytics — page views and general traffic patterns (via anonymized analytics, if enabled). No personal identifiers are collected.
- Email address — only if you contact us directly at [email protected] or submit a featured listing inquiry.
- No accounts, no sign-ups — there is no login, no profile, no password. You don't give us your name to use the site. We don't want it. Featured businesses will not receive any personally identifiable information.
How we use your information
Any information we receive is used only to make the site work for you:
- Location is used to calculate distances to local spots — it stays in your browser and is never transmitted to or stored by us.
- Analytics help us understand which pages are useful so we can improve the site.
- Email addresses from inquiries are used only to respond to you.
Third-party services
Tulsa Finds uses a small number of third-party services to function:
- Unsplash — some listing images are served from Unsplash's CDN under the Unsplash License (free for commercial use). Unsplash may log standard CDN request metadata.
- HostGator — our web hosting provider. Standard server logs (IP addresses, request times) may be retained per their policy.
- Google Maps — the "Directions" link in each listing opens Google Maps in a new tab. If clicked, Google's own privacy policy applies to that interaction.
We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, or any advertising network on this site. Business listing data is curated editorially and stored statically — no third-party data API is called when you browse the site.
Cookies
Tulsa Finds does not set tracking cookies. Your browser may cache assets like images and scripts for performance — that's standard browser behavior, not tracking.
If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and use only privacy-respecting, cookieless solutions where possible.
Data security
The site is served over HTTPS. No API keys or backend credentials are exposed in the browser or in publicly accessible files. We take reasonable steps to protect any information we handle.
