Using the guide
San Mateo Local is a free guide to San Mateo, California, published at sanmateolocal.com. You're welcome to read it, share links to it, and use it to find great local spots. By using the site, you agree to these terms.
Our recommendations are our opinions
We share the places we genuinely like. Our picks are honest opinions, not professional advice, and taste is personal. We do our best to keep details accurate, but hours change, menus change, and businesses open and close. Always double-check hours and details with the business directly before you head out.
About the business listings
We list local businesses as an editorial guide, the same way a directory or a magazine would. A listing does not mean the business pays us, sponsors us, or is affiliated with us, unless we clearly say so.
Are you a business owner? If something about your listing is wrong, or you'd like to be removed or added, just email hello@sanmateolocal.com and we'll take care of it. We want to get it right.
Links to other sites
We link to maps, business websites, and other outside pages to be helpful. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, or their own privacy practices.
Things you send us
When you send us a suggestion, a memory, a photo, or a message through the site, you're giving us permission to use and publish it as part of the guide (for example, in our locals' gallery or our local history pages). Please only send things you have the right to share. We may edit submissions for length or clarity, and we're not obligated to publish anything.
Our content
The writing, design, and original content on San Mateo Local are ours. You're welcome to link to us and share our pages. Please don't copy the guide wholesale, scrape it, or republish large parts of it as your own without asking. If you'd like to feature or partner with us, we'd love to hear from you.
No guarantees
We offer the guide as-is and as a helpful resource. We can't promise it will always be complete, accurate, or available. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we aren't liable for any loss that comes from relying on the information here. Use your own good judgment, especially with things like hours, prices, and directions.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
Changes to these terms
If we update these terms, we'll change the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
