Who operates Localsville, where it is based, and how it intends to make money.
Localsville is built and operated by Localsville LLC, a United States company. The app and this website are its products.
It is a small team, and support is answered by a person rather than a bot.
More on the About page.
Yes. Localsville LLC is a United States company, and sign-up accepts U.S. phone numbers.
Localsville currently supports communities in the United States and is beginning its real-world launch in Kailua on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.
Localsville LLC is registered in the United States, and the first community Localsville is being built in is on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.
The company's registered address is published in the entity information on this site and in the Terms.
From a service fee on payments processed through Localsville. It is deducted from the provider's payout rather than added to the buyer's price: 12% of the first $500, 10% from $500 to $2,000, 8% above.
Being on Localsville is free: joining, creating profiles, listing what you offer and messaging your neighbors cost nothing, and there is no subscription or paid tier. The service fee applies only to a payment that goes through Localsville.
Nothing is being earned that way today, because Local Partner enrollment is free during the current launch period.
Localsville sells no advertising and no paid placement, and there is no such product in the app.
No. There is no advertising on Localsville and no advertising product to buy. Localsville does not currently sell paid placement, profile boosts, or sponsored ranking.
Nor does Localsville sell your data to advertisers. The website runs no analytics, and the only cookie it can set is Google's reCAPTCHA check on the private preview page, when you choose to verify your number there.
No. Localsville has no cashback, rewards, points, credits or loyalty program of any kind. None of it exists in the product, including in how payments are settled.
If you have read otherwise anywhere, that material is out of date and does not describe Localsville.
No. Localsville is an app, not an investment, a franchise or an income opportunity.
The Local Partner program is a membership that may earn commission on real activity. It is not employment, it carries no territory, and Localsville promises no earnings from it.
Anyone presenting Localsville as a way to make guaranteed money is not describing what Localsville is.
Localsville is the company and the product. Oahuville is only a local addressing layer used to reach people on Oʻahu: a way in, not a separate service.

No. You must be at least 18 to use Localsville, and the Terms of Use say so. It is not built for children and there is no under-18 experience.
The Child Safety policy sets out the standard and how to report a concern.
Anything involving a child's safety should go straight to safety@localsville.com.
Localsville does not publish user numbers, and this page will not invent one. It is early, and the honest answer is that it depends entirely on your community.
Open the app and look at your own town: that is the only number that matters to you.
