LocalTake is a guide to things to do in cities, run by Local Take LLC. You give us an email address and a few taste answers; we use them to pick events for you and to send you a weekly email. We use what you tell us and what you react to in order to make LocalTake better and to show you things you're more likely to like. We don't sell your email to list brokers. You can delete your profile whenever you want, and everything we hold about you goes with it.
Last updated October 22, 2026. These terms cover localtake.com and the LocalTake emails. By using either, you're agreeing to these terms and to the privacy policy below.
LocalTake is made by Local Take LLC, a company in Washington, DC. "We" and "us" in this document mean Local Take LLC. "You" means the person reading this.
You need to be at least 16 to create a profile. Anyone can read the site. If you're a parent and you think a child has given us an email address, write to us and we'll remove it.
A profile is an email address plus your answers and reactions. There's no password; we send a sign-in link to your email. That means whoever can read your inbox can get into your profile, so keep that in mind if you share a device or an address. One person per profile, please.
You can delete your profile at any time from the site or by emailing us. See "Your choices" in Part 2 for what that does.
If you break these rules we can close your profile and block you.
We do our best to find events and activities that are interesting and relevant to you, and we pull them from hundreds of sources. The listings, descriptions, and recommendations on LocalTake are collected, written, and edited by a combination of artificial intelligence and real people. We don't run the events, we don't control their quality, and we don't check each one in person. Events change: times move, shows sell out, parks close for weather. Before you go, check the organizer's page, which we link from every event. Go at your own risk.
The LocalTake name, logo, design, writing, recommendations, and software belong to Local Take LLC. Event listings belong to the people who put the events on. You can share any page or email with friends. You can't repackage LocalTake and present it as your own.
If you send us an idea, a correction, a submitted event, or feedback, you're letting us use it without paying you or asking again. We won't claim you wrote something you didn't.
LocalTake is provided as it is. We work to keep it accurate and running, but we can't promise it will always be either, and we aren't responsible for losses that come from using it, as far as the law allows. The same goes for the events, as the section above says. Some states don't let companies say this in full; if you live in one, it applies only as far as your state permits.
If you have a problem with LocalTake, contact us first and we'll try to resolve it. If that doesn't work, the laws of the District of Columbia apply, and any case goes to a court in Washington, DC. Either of us can use small claims court instead, where it fits.
We'll update these terms as LocalTake grows. When we change something that matters, we'll add it here and update the date at the top. Using LocalTake after that means you accept the new version.
Last updated October 22, 2026. This is what we collect, what we do with it, and what you can do about it.
Things you give us.
Things we notice as you use LocalTake.
If you react without making a profile, we keep those reactions under a random device id stored in your browser — no email, no name, no location. We also keep a scrambled version of your internet address, which we can't turn back into the address, so one person can't vote for the same event twenty times. If you make a profile later on that device, those reactions join it. Clearing your browser's site data drops the id, and deleting your profile deletes them too.
Three things, and they're the point of LocalTake:
We'll also use your email to tell you about LocalTake itself: a new guide, a change to these terms, a new city. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
The companies that keep LocalTake running. We use outside services to host the site, store data, send email, and build recommendations. They see only what they need to do their job and are bound by contract to keep it private.
Advertisers and sponsors. We never share your email address or your individual profile with advertisers or sponsors. A sponsor may learn how many people saw or clicked a sponsored pick, but that is a count, not a list of names.
The law. We will share data if a court order or the law requires it, or if doing so is necessary to protect someone's safety or our legal rights. To date, we have never been asked to.
A sale of the company. If Local Take LLC is ever sold or merged, your data would transfer with the company under these same rules, and we would notify you before that happened.
People you plan with. If you join a plan, the others on it see your first name, your match number on each event, and what you've said you're in for. They never see your email or your zip code.
Write to localtakellc@gmail.com for any of these. We'll confirm it's you by replying to the email address on the profile, and we'll answer within 30 days. We'll never treat you differently for asking.
Our database is hosted in Canada and the site is served from the United States, so your data crosses that border. It's protected the same way wherever it sits: encrypted in transit and at rest, reachable only by the people who run LocalTake.
We keep your profile as long as you have one. If you don't open an email or visit the site for two years, we'll write once to ask if you still want it, and delete it if we don't hear back.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever have a breach that touches your data, we'll tell you.
LocalTake uses a small number of cookies to keep you signed in and to remember choices like your zip code. We don't use cookies for advertising. If you block cookies, the site still works, but you'll sign in more often.
LocalTake isn't for children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect anything from them. If you think we have, email us and we'll delete it.
We'll post any change here, update the date at the top, and email you about anything that changes how we use your data before it takes effect.
