This Privacy Policy explains how DrivewayResurfacingContractors.com ("we," "us," or "the Directory"), operated by Directory Holdings, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, use our search and browsing tools, submit a contact request, or apply to list a driveway resurfacing business. By using the Directory, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Public directory content: Business names, service descriptions, locations, service areas, logos, website links, public phone numbers, public email addresses, and social links that providers choose to publish in their listings.
- Listing application data: Information submitted through our Get Listed or claim forms, including the applicant's name, email, phone, business details, and message content. This is kept private and is separate from published business contact fields.
- Contact form submissions: Name, email, subject, and message content sent through our Contact page form.
- Usage and technical data: Pages visited, search queries entered, approximate location, browser type, device type, and similar analytics collected automatically when you browse the Directory.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Directory and its search features.
- To review and respond to listing applications, claims, and contact requests.
- To publish approved provider listings and associated public contact details.
- To measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site.
- To prevent abuse, spam, and fraudulent submissions.
- To send administrative replies or follow-ups related to a submission you initiated. We do not send unsolicited marketing email to applicants or visitors.
3. Public vs. Private Information
We draw a clear line between public and private information:
- Public: Approved listing content — business name, services, location, logo, website, public phone, public email, and social links — is visible to all visitors and indexed by search engines.
- Private: Applicant contact details, administrative notes, import records, unpublished drafts, and rejected applications are never published. An applicant's email is not automatically treated as a public quote email.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and support analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some site features may be affected if cookies are disabled. Third-party analytics or advertising partners may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
The Directory contains links to external provider websites, social media profiles, and advertising destinations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. When you click an outbound provider link, referral parameters identifying this Directory as the source may be appended to the destination URL. Embedded forms (such as contact or listing application forms) are provided by third-party form services and process submission data under their own privacy and security terms.
6. Data Retention
We retain listing application and contact submission data for as long as needed to process the request, provide support, and maintain administrative records. Published listings remain visible until a provider requests removal or a listing is removed under our publication policy.
7. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted to us by contacting our support team. Published business listings may be updated or removed by the listed business through our claim and review process.
8. Children's Privacy
The Directory is intended for adults seeking driveway resurfacing services and for businesses seeking listings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us so we can remove it.
9. Security
We apply reasonable measures to protect submitted information, but no method of transmission or storage is fully secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you provide.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
