Privacy Policy for Dallas Map Pack Ranking
You run a local business in Dallas. You protect your customers’ information. We respect your data exactly the same way. This policy explains how dallasmappackranking.com handles your digital footprint. Effective date: May 18, 2026.
We wrote this in plain English. Legal jargon creates blind spots. We prefer granularity and transparency.
Information You Provide Directly
We collect specific data when you interact with our site. We do not scrape your personal details. We do not buy email lists from shady brokers. You give us information directly.
You fill out our contact form for a local SEO audit. You hand over your name, your email address, your business website URL, and your Google Business Profile link. We need this exact data to analyze your current map pack visibility. We store this in our secure CRM. We use it to reply to you with actionable insights. That is the entire transaction.
Local SEO is plagued by spam. Fake listings. Shady lead generation tactics. We refuse to contribute to that noise.
When you submit your NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) data to us for an audit, it stays with us. We do not syndicate it. We do not feed it into automated directory submission tools without your explicit consent.
Automated Usage Data
We track how visitors navigate this site. We monitor which pages hold your attention. We look at bounce rates on our GBP optimization guides. We track the geographic region of our traffic to ensure we actually reach Texas businesses.
Our servers automatically log your IP address, browser type, and timestamp when you visit. This is standard infrastructure behavior. We use these logs strictly to block malicious bots trying to scrape our local SEO case studies.
This data remains anonymous. It shows us the signal through the noise. It tells us what content solves your local SEO problems.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
We use cookies. Every functional website does. These small text files sit on your browser. They remember your preferences. They keep the site running fast.
Session cookies expire the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around to remember you next time. We use both. We use them to see if you return to read our advanced citation building guides after reading the beginner basics.
We deploy Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These tools place cookies to track user behavior. We see if you found us searching for “Dallas local SEO expert” or “fix suspended GBP.” We use this exact data to improve our content quality. We write better guides when we know what you actually search for.
You can block these cookies. Check your browser settings. Turn them off.
The site will still work. You just become invisible to our analytics dashboard.
How We Put Your Data to Work
We hate spam. We know you hate spam. We never sell your email address to third-party marketers. We never trade your business details with other agencies.
Your data serves three specific purposes.
- We respond to your direct inquiries and audit requests.
- We analyze traffic patterns to write sharper local SEO guides.
- We maintain site security against automated bot attacks.
Three simple rules. No rented lists. No hidden data brokers. Real privacy.
Data Retention Realities
We do not hoard data indefinitely. We keep your contact form submissions for twelve months. We need this window to follow up on your local SEO audit requests. After one year of inactivity, we purge your details from our active CRM.
Analytics data ages out automatically based on Google’s default retention settings. We keep what we need to operate. We delete the rest.
