Overview
Patriot Directory ("we," "us," "our") operates a free business directory website. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site.
Information We Collect
No User Accounts
We do not require user accounts, logins, or registrations to use our directory. You can browse all listings without providing any personal information.
Analytics
We use privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This service does not use cookies, does not track users across sites, and does not collect personal information. We track only aggregate page views and referral sources.
Map Features
Our map feature uses Mapbox. If you choose to use the "Find Near Me" feature, your browser will ask for your location permission. This location data is processed client-side by Mapbox to center the map and is not stored by us. Mapbox's own privacy policy applies to their service.
Contact Information
If you email us to suggest a business or for any other reason, we receive your email address and message content. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not share it with third parties.
Advertising
We may display advertisements via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
Cookies
Our core site does not set any first-party cookies. Third-party services (such as Google AdSense, if enabled) may set their own cookies. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties. Business listing information displayed on the site is publicly available information provided by or about the listed businesses.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
