Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 7, 2026

Public Boat Ramps Directory ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") operates the publicboatramps.com website (the "Site"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Site and the choices you have associated with that data.

1. Data Collection

We collect minimal personal information directly from you. The information we collect may include: IP addresses and browsing behavior through cookies and analytics tools; information about your device (browser type, operating system, screen resolution); and any information you voluntarily provide when contacting us via email.

2. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our Site. Cookies help us understand how you use the Site so we can enhance functionality and performance. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though some features may not function properly if you disable cookies.

3. Advertising Cookies

We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google, who may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Our Site uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to personalize ads, measure ad performance, and help us generate revenue to keep this directory free.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from other participating companies by visiting optout.aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove all ads — it means ads shown to you will not be personalized based on your browsing history.

4. Analytics

We may use analytics services to track and analyze visitor behavior on our Site. This helps us understand how people use our directory and improve the user experience. Information collected includes page views, click behavior, and other engagement metrics. This data is aggregated and does not identify individuals.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us at privacy@publicboatramps.com.

6. GDPR Compliance

For users in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides you with certain rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict processing of your data. You also have the right to data portability and the right to object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@publicboatramps.com.

7. CCPA Compliance

For California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information received from you, and the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. While we do not sell personal information, we do use third-party services that may use data for advertising purposes. To exercise CCPA rights, please contact us at privacy@publicboatramps.com.

8. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites before providing personal information.

9. Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

10. Changes to This Policy
