Do Not Sell My Personal Information (CCPA Notice)
Effective Date: June 29, 2026
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and subsequent state-level privacy amendments across the United States, residents have specific rights regarding their personal and professional data. The US Compliance Directory (uscompliancedirectory.com) operates as an independent, public business data repository and index. Because we organize, display, and license public business data and utilize third-party ad networks, these activities may technically fall under the definition of a “sale” or “sharing” of information under US privacy statutes.
We respect your data privacy rights. This page provides a clear, streamlined path for US residents to exercise their right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal or business profile data.
1. What “Selling” or “Sharing” Means to Us
The US Compliance Directory does not sell corporate trade secrets or private data infrastructure lists. However, our platform operates using two models that trigger state privacy rights:
- Public Directories: We organize publicly available corporate profiles, regional utility phone numbers, and professional licensing metrics so users can browse local business solutions.
- Contextual & Personalized Advertising: We partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, which utilize tracking cookies to display relevant, high-value B2B and commercial advertisements based on your browsing interests.
2. Your Right to Opt-Out
If you are a consumer or business professional residing in California (or any US state with active consumer data privacy protections), you have the right to request that your profile data be permanently excluded from our directory indices or that our ad partners stop tracking your visits for targeted marketing.
3. How to Submit an Opt-Out / Suppression Request
To exercise your right to opt out, please use our standardized data verification procedure below:
- Directory Data Suppression: If you want your public business data record, address, phone number, or professional profile completely removed from our search engine database index so it can never be viewed or licensed, please visit our Content Removal / Correction page and submit a removal ticket. We process and purge valid verification requests within 48 to 72 hours.
- Digital Advertising Opt-Out: To stop third-party ad networks from using your web activity on this platform for personalized advertising, you can opt out directly through the browser level via the [suspicious link removed] or modify your global preferences directly inside your Google Ads Settings.
4. Verification and Non-Discrimination
When you submit an opt-out or removal request through our portal, we will ask for basic details (such as your specific listing URL or business verification name) to ensure we modify the correct database row. In accordance with US law, we will never discriminate against you, deny you access to our search tools, or provide lower-quality services if you choose to exercise your legal data privacy rights.
