Privacy Policy

Introduction

Desert Cities Business Directory ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website or engage with our services.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact information you provide voluntarily, such as your name, email address, phone number, and company name when you contact us or request a consultation.
• Usage data collected automatically, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our site.
• Communications you send us via email or contact forms.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide requested services
• Send you information about our services, promotions, or updates (with your consent)
• Improve our website and service offerings
• Comply with legal obligations

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting business, provided they agree to keep your information confidential. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google LLC, to analyze site traffic and understand how visitors use our site. GA4 may set cookies and collect data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time on site. This data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

We use Google Consent Mode v2, which means Google Analytics is loaded in a restricted, cookieless mode by default. Full analytics cookies are only set after you explicitly accept via the consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time via Google's opt-out tool.

Contact Form Submissions

When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide — your name, email address, and optionally your phone number, company name, service of interest, and message — and store it securely so we can respond to your inquiry.

We use Resend, a transactional email provider, to deliver an internal notification when a form is submitted. Resend processes this data solely to deliver that email and does not use it for any other purpose.

Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to help prevent spam and automated abuse. Turnstile may briefly interact with your browser to verify you are not a bot; it is processed by Cloudflare in accordance with their privacy policy.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information that we hold. To make such a request, please contact us using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
