Data sources

Where the business details on LocalsVoted come from, and under which licences.

Overture Maps Foundation

Some business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites and categories come from the Places dataset of the Overture Maps Foundation (overturemaps.org). Overture combines open data from several contributors and publishes it under open licences.

Release in use: 2026-09-23.1. Accessed October 18, 2026.

Details an owner or our staff confirm, and details read from a business’s own website, take priority over this data and carry no credit line.
