Privacy Policy

Who we are

Dallas Plumber Guide (dallasplumberguide.com) is an independent editorial guide to plumbing companies in Dallas, Texas. We are not a plumbing company, we do not dispatch plumbers, and we are not affiliated with the companies we list. When you decide to contact a plumbing company, you leave this site and deal with that company directly — their own privacy practices apply, not ours.

What we collect

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful and where the site falls short. This records ordinary web-analytics data: the pages you view, approximate location derived from your IP address (typically city or region level), device and browser type, referring site, and a small number of interaction events. The events we record are limited to clicks on telephone links and contact-form submissions. We do not record what you type into forms as an analytics event, and we do not attempt to identify you personally.

The contact form

If you use our contact page or advertising enquiry form, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit. That submission is emailed to our own inbox so we can reply. We use it to answer you, to correct listings, and to keep a record of corrections — nothing else. We do not add you to a marketing list, and we do not pass your message to the plumbing companies listed on this site unless you explicitly ask us to.

Server logs

Our hosting provider keeps standard request logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user agent) for security and reliability. These are generated automatically by the hosting platform and are not combined with anything else we hold.

Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish one visit from another. The site itself sets no advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not embed third-party advertising pixels. You can block or delete cookies in your browser, or install Google's opt-out add-on, and the site will continue to work normally — none of its content is gated.

Who else is involved

• Vercel — hosts the site and serves every page.
• Google Analytics — usage measurement, as described above.
• Forward Email — delivers contact-form messages to our inbox.

Each of these processes data under its own terms. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to anyone, and we do not receive personal data about you from third parties.

How long we keep things

Contact-form emails stay in our inbox for as long as they are useful for answering you and documenting corrections, and are deleted when they are not. Analytics data is retained under Google Analytics' standard retention settings. Hosting logs are retained by the platform on its own schedule.

Your choices

You can browse this entire site without submitting anything to us. If you have written to us and want that correspondence deleted, or you want to know what we hold, email hello@dallasplumberguide.com and we will action it. Because we hold no accounts and no profiles, in most cases the only thing we hold is the email you sent us.

Children

This site is aimed at homeowners and property managers arranging plumbing work. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Automated clients and AI agents

We publish machine-readable indexes (llms.txt, entitymap.json, and Markdown versions of every page) for crawlers and AI agents. These contain only material already published on this site. No personal data of site visitors is included in them.

Changes

If these practices change, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above. This policy describes what the site actually does today; it is written in plain language rather than as a legal contract.
