To provide search and browse features, we may index public directory information, including company names, categories, locations, products, services, opportunity details, and related business information.

Search results and ordering may consider relevance signals, keyword matches, company/product/service/opportunity information, completeness, recency, verification status, and other platform signals.

BevAtlas may also provide Smart summaries, completeness scores, recommendations, search interpretation, AI-assisted copy suggestions, and other automated or semi-automated features.

These features may use information you provide, public directory information, platform activity, and other available data to organize, classify, recommend, summarize, improve, or display content.

Smart features and AI-assisted tools are informational and operational aids only. They may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or based on limited available information. Users are responsible for reviewing, correcting, approving, and relying on their own content and business decisions.

Where we use third-party AI or automation service providers to process text, search intent, listing information, or similar inputs, we use them to support platform functionality and improvement, subject to appropriate service-provider terms and safeguards.

We may use aggregated or anonymized data that does not identify you personally for analytics, product improvement, performance monitoring, industry insights, platform reporting, and business development.
