Privacy Policy

Who we are

Maryland Junk Removal Directory is an independent online directory of junk removal companies in Maryland, published by Timothy Prestianni. When this policy says “we”, “us” or “our”, it means the publisher of this website. You can reach us through our contact page.

Information about listed businesses

Our listings are compiled from publicly available sources, such as Google Business Profiles, the businesses’ own websites and public records. We publish business information only: the business name, address or service area, phone number, website, hours, the services it advertises, and its rating and review count as shown on Google.

We don’t knowingly publish personal information about private individuals, such as a private home address or a personal phone number. Where a business doesn’t publish a street address, we show only its general area. If you believe a listing includes personal information that shouldn’t be public, contact us and we’ll review it promptly.

Business owners can ask us to correct, update or remove their listing at any time through the claim form or the contact page.

Information you give us

You can use the directory without creating an account or giving us any personal information. If you send us a request through the claim, listing or contact form, or by email, we receive what you enter, which may include your name, email address, phone number, business name, business website, your message and the placement you’re asking about.

We use this information only to:

• reply to you and handle your request;
• confirm that you own or manage a business before changing its listing;
• set up and manage a premium listing or featured placement you ask for; and
• keep a record of corrections, claims and removals.

We keep these messages for as long as we need them for those purposes, and you can ask us to delete them at any time (see “Your choices” below).

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix problems.

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site, for example which pages are visited, how visitors arrive and roughly where they are. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and collects information such as your device, browser, approximate location and the pages you view. We use these reports only to improve the site; we don’t use them for advertising and don’t try to identify individual visitors. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on. We don’t use advertising trackers.

Third-party content and links

Some business pages show a map from OpenStreetMap. When the map loads, OpenStreetMap receives your IP address and browser information. Links to Google Maps, Google reviews, business websites and social media pages take you to sites we don’t control. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to read them.

Service providers

We rely on a small number of service providers who process information on our behalf, only to run this website:

• Website hosting (Vercel), which serves the site and keeps the technical logs described above.
• Email delivery (Resend), which delivers form submissions to our inbox.
• Website analytics (Google Analytics), which provides the visitor reports described above.

We don’t sell your information

We don’t sell, rent or trade personal information, and we don’t share it with anyone for their own marketing or advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to respond to a valid legal request, or to protect the rights, safety or property of our users, the public or this website.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the personal information you’ve sent us. Depending on where you live, state privacy laws, including Maryland’s, may give you specific rights over your personal data. We honor reasonable requests from anyone, wherever they live. Use our contact page to tell us what you’d like us to do. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we’ll reply within 45 days.

Because we don’t track visitors or sell personal information, there’s nothing to opt out of. Browser signals such as Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are respected by default.

Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and we limit who can see form submissions. No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, so please don’t send sensitive information such as payment card or Social Security numbers through our forms.

Children

This directory is meant for adults. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be explained on this page.
