Information We Collect
DataByArea.com can be used without creating an account. We do not collect payment card numbers through the site. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, name, organization, page URL, correction request, partnership question, or other message details.
Like most websites, we may receive limited technical and usage information automatically, including browser type, device type, referring page, approximate location derived from network information, pages visited, and timestamps. This information helps us maintain site reliability, understand which pages are useful, detect abuse, and improve content.
Browser-Local Tools
Some DataByArea tools let you save a "My city" or carry comparison choices between pages. Those preferences are stored in your browser using local storage and are not an account profile. You can clear them by using your browser's site data controls.
How We Use Information
We use information to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, review data corrections, improve page quality, measure aggregate usage, and evaluate partnership or licensing inquiries. We do not use contact emails to create a public profile.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, and performance. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Some features may work differently if cookies or local storage are disabled.
Third-Party Services
DataByArea may use third-party providers for hosting, security, analytics, advertising, measurement, email handling, maps, or affiliate and partner links. Those providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies. External websites linked from DataByArea are governed by their own policies and practices.
Sharing and Disclosure
We may share information with service providers that help operate the site, when required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate misuse, or as part of a business transfer involving the site. We do not sell contact inquiry emails as a mailing list.
Data Retention and Security
We keep contact messages and operational records only as long as reasonably needed for support, correction review, legal, security, and business purposes. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your Choices and Requests
You can block or delete cookies and local storage through your browser. You can also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or review of personal information you previously provided to us, subject to legal and operational limits.
For privacy questions or requests, email hello@databyarea.com or use the DataByArea contact page.
