FAQ
What is 517 First?
517 First is a locally managed business search engine designed to provide always-on, always-current information for local retailers, professional offices and service companies.<br><br> It is built by broadcasters and developers to bring quality search to our community while using exceptional back-end programming and mapping tools.
We hear a lot about abuse of personally identifiable information. How does 517 First use my information?
517 First is devoted exclusively to connecting our searching audience to excellent businesses, professional offices and service companies - anonymously. You'll notice we do not require social media login or account creation at all.
The information we collect is automatic for geolocation only. This enables us to match the location of your device to the addresses of our verified businesses, but only with your permission and only anonymously. We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information.
To make our application better, we study the search terms and locations where searches occur. We do not match any information to individual users, and do not sell information, search terms or results to anyone.
In summary, we do not create user profiles for consumers and do not require attachment of our services to any social media account. Therefore, we are not collecting personally identifiable user data which could be sold or shared with anyone.
