Who we are
GarageDoorRepairLocator is a directory website that helps homeowners find and compare garage door repair companies. Our website is located at www.garagedoorrepairlocator.com. We are based in the United States.
What information we collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate and improve the site.
When you visit the site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically collect standard log information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This information is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve it. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.
We may use cookies or similar browser storage to support site functionality and analytics. If we use Google Analytics, it places cookies on your device to help us understand traffic patterns. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Most of our site content is accessible without cookies.
If you contact us directly (for example to report an incorrect listing), we will collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to any mailing list without your consent.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website
- Understand how visitors use the site so we can make it more useful
- Respond to questions or feedback you send us
- Detect and prevent technical problems or misuse
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information to build advertising profiles or target you with ads on other websites.
Third-party services
We may use third-party services that collect data subject to their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics (if enabled) collects anonymized usage data. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Cloudflare Pages hosts our website and may process request data as part of its infrastructure and security services.
Links from this site to contractor websites lead to third-party sites we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Data retention
We retain analytics data in aggregate form. If you contact us directly, we retain your message and contact information only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry, and no longer than 12 months unless there is a legal reason to keep it longer.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you. Because we collect very limited personal information, most requests can be fulfilled quickly.
To exercise any of these rights, use our contact form. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are located in California, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we have collected, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of its sale (we do not sell personal information).
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. If any changes materially affect how we handle your information, we will make that clear. Continued use of the site after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
