Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 8, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Trades Directory ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use tradesdir.com (the "Site").
Analytics and Technical Information
We currently use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) site-wide. Depending on your device, browser, settings, and applicable consent choices, GA4 may process device and browser information, approximate location, pages viewed, referral information, and identifiers or cookies where applicable. We use this information for usage measurement, security, and content improvement.
Learn how Google handles information in its services in Google's Privacy Policy. You can use available analytics and advertising controls, including the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on and Google Ads Settings. Browser settings may also let you limit or delete cookies.
Contact Form Information
If you contact us through the Site, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you submit. This information is sent through Resend, an external email-delivery processor, so that we can receive and respond to your request.
We retain contact messages only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain appropriate business records, prevent abuse, or meet legal obligations. We do not promise a fixed retention period because the appropriate period depends on the request and those needs.
How We Use Information
- To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site and directory content
- To measure use and understand which content is useful
- To respond to contact requests and correction reports
- To prevent fraud, spam, and abuse and comply with legal obligations
Advertising Cookies and Controls
We may enable third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, in the future. If enabled, Google and other advertising partners may use advertising cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, and, where permitted, personalization based on visits to this and other sites.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.
- You can review additional participating-company opt-out choices at aboutads.info/choices.
Where required, we will use a certified consent mechanism before personalized advertising is enabled in covered regions. This statement describes the safeguard that will accompany future personalized advertising; it does not claim that such advertising or a consent platform is currently active.
Data Security
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information. You may also use the cookie and advertising controls described above. To make a privacy request, contact us.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. We will post revisions here and update the date above.
