Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 29, 2026

At the US Compliance Directory (uscompliancedirectory.com), the privacy of our visitors and the integrity of our business directory data are of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy documents the types of information we collect, record, and process, and explains how we protect your rights under US federal and state privacy frameworks.

1. Information We Collect and Process

As a centralized B2B search index, we collect data through two separate channels:

  • Public Business Records: We aggregate publicly available corporate contact channels, trade classifications, regional operations data, and professional licensing metrics. This public data is displayed to help users verify US compliance specialists.
  • User-Submitted Data: When you use our Add Listing portal or fill out a contact form, we collect the identifying data you explicitly provide (such as company name, email address, physical address, phone number, and licensing details).
  • Automated Log Files: Like most modern web servers, our Bluehost framework utilizes log files. This standard technical information includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. This data is entirely anonymous and is used solely to audit platform performance and block malicious bot behavior.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our platform utilizes first-party and third-party cookies to optimize page load speeds, remember user preferences, and display contextual ads. For comprehensive details on our tracking mechanics or to learn how to manage your privacy settings, please review our separate, dedicated Cookie Policy.

3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

We fund our database infrastructure by displaying network advertisements. You must be aware of the following conditions regarding third-party ad delivery:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve targeted advertisements on uscompliancedirectory.com based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other nodes on the internet.
  • Google’s use of tracking cookies allows it and its partner networks to optimize ad displays to match your localized professional profile.
  • You can completely opt out of personalized advertising by modifying your profile settings directly through the Google Ads Settings Page.

4. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA Notice)

If you are a resident or business operator in the State of California, you hold explicit rights regarding data transparency. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • You have the right to request access to the specific categories of personal or business profile data we have aggregated.
  • You have the right to request the total deletion of your profile metrics from our digital indexing directories.
  • You have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your data for advertising purposes. To exercise these rights instantly, please visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page link located in our global site footer.

5. Data Security and Retention Policy

We employ standard industry-wide technical security protocols to protect all user data and forms submitted to our server. Public business records remain indexed on our platform unless they are found to be highly inaccurate or are formally requested to be suppressed. We will never sell or rent your private email addresses or administrative contact information collected via support tickets to third-party marketing companies.

6. Children’s Information Protection

Our website operates strictly as a B2B compliance registry tool and does not target or knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has submitted personal tracking data through our platform, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will purge that record within 24 hours.

7. Changes to Our Privacy Framework

We reserve the absolute right to modify or adjust this Privacy Policy as regional data laws shift. Any changes will be published instantly with an updated execution date at the top of this page.

8. Data Deletion, Corrections, and Contact Support

If you have any questions regarding this privacy framework, or if you wish to file a formal request to correct, update, or completely suppress a specific directory listing row from our index database, please submit an official ticket through our Content Removal / Correction page.
