Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SiteDropped ("SiteDropped," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website and services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

• Business details you provide. The business name, address, category, and phone number you enter so we can build your site.
• Account information. The email address and password you create when you register. Passwords are stored only as a salted cryptographic hash — never in plain text.
• Public listing data. Information from your public Google Maps listing — such as reviews, hours, photos, and category — that we use to generate your website.
• Content you upload. Files or messages you send while editing your site.
• Billing information. When you subscribe, our payment processor collects and processes your payment details. We do not store full card numbers; we keep a record of your orders, plan, and subscription status.
• Usage data. Basic technical information such as device, browser, and pages visited, used to operate and improve the Service.

How we use information

• To find your business and generate, preview, and host your website.
• To create and secure your account and let you edit your site.
• To process payments and manage your subscription and billing.
• To provide support and respond to your requests.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse.

Businesses we contact

We discover local businesses using publicly available sources such as Google Maps and may build a free preview site and reach out — by email or phone — to offer it. For this we process publicly listed business details such as name, address, phone number, website, category, and a publicly available business email. If you operate a business we have contacted and want us to stop contacting you or to remove the preview and associated data, email info@sitedropped.com and we will honor the request.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to operate the Service (for example, your account and session). We may use limited analytics to understand and improve usage. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the Service — for example hosting, domain registration, and AI processing — and only as needed to perform those functions. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and users.

Third-party services

We rely on third parties including Google (Maps listing data), our hosting and domain providers, our payment processor (which handles checkout and subscription billing), and AI providers used to generate and edit site copy. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, and as required to meet legal and operational obligations. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

International data transfers

We and our service providers may store and process information in countries other than where you live, including outside your region. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers. By using the Service you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.

Your rights and choices

You can access, correct, or delete your account information by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal data — such as access, correction, portability, deletion, restriction, objection, and the right to withdraw consent — under laws including the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell or "share" your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. To make a request, email info@sitedropped.com; we may need to verify your identity before acting.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your data.

Children

The Service is intended for businesses and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
