Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how landscapers.city ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our landscaping directory platform. By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We operate as an advertising directory connecting homeowners with local landscaping and lawn care professionals across the United States. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about our data practices.

2 Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Business Submission Data: When a landscaping business is submitted, we collect the business name, city, category, contact details, address, and optional photo provided in the submission form.
• Usage Data: We may collect information about how our platform is accessed, including IP address, browser type, referring pages, and pages visited — used solely for improving performance.
• Cookies: We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain session state and improve user experience. We do not use advertising tracking cookies.
• Contact Form Data: If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email, and message you provide in order to respond to your inquiry.

3 How We Use Your Data

As a landscaping directory platform, we use collected data for the following purposes:

• To display and maintain landscaping business listings for homeowners to discover.
• To review and approve business submissions before they go live.
• To communicate with business owners about their listing status, renewals, or support requests.
• To monitor and improve the performance, security, and accuracy of the directory.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraudulent or misleading listings.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, nor do we use it for behavioral advertising.

4 Data Disclosure

We may disclose your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party companies that perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, payment processing) under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Business listing information (name, phone, website, address) is intentionally public — it is displayed on the directory so homeowners can contact landscapers directly.

5 Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, including SSL encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately via our contact page.

6 Third-Party Links

Our directory contains links to landscaping business websites that are not operated by us. When you click on a business's website link, you leave our platform and are subject to that website's own privacy policy. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

7 Cookies

We use essential cookies to ensure the platform functions correctly (e.g., session management, security tokens). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you do so, some features of our platform may not function properly.

8 Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our contact page. We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 5 business days.
