Privacy Policy

Overview

[BUSINESS NAME] ("we", "us", or "our") operates [DOMAIN] (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Contact form submissions — when you contact a taxidermist through the Site, we collect your name, email address, phone number (optional), and message.
• Claim requests — if you claim a business listing, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and your role at the business.
• Data flag reports — if you report incorrect listing information, we collect the issue type, optional details, and your email address (optional).
• Listing requests — if you request a new business be added, we collect the business name, location, and your email address (optional).
• Account credentials — if you create an account (for business owners managing their listing), we collect your email address and a hashed password. Passwords are never stored in plain text.

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data — pages visited, search queries, browser type, and referring URLs, collected via analytics software.
• Cookies — session cookies for authentication; analytics cookies if you consent.

How We Use Your Information

• To process payments for premium listing features via Stripe (where applicable).
• To send transactional emails (claim confirmations, contact form receipts) via Resend.

We do not sell your personal information to any third party.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions and other user-submitted data are retained indefinitely to maintain a complete record of leads and directory activity. Account data is retained as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us at [CONTACT EMAIL].
