Privacy Policy

What this site is

BoatFixExperts is a free directory that helps boaters find marine mechanics and boat repair shops across the United States. We do not sell products, process payments, or require you to create an account to use the directory.

Information we collect

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects:

• Pages you visit and how long you stay
• How you found us (search engine, direct link, etc.)
• General location (city/region level, not your exact address)
• Device type and browser (e.g. iPhone, Chrome)

This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from it. We use it to understand which pages are useful and how to improve the directory.

Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies (small files stored in your browser) to distinguish between visitors. These are first-party analytics cookies only. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any third-party tracking beyond Google Analytics.

Information we do not collect

• We do not collect your name, email, or phone number (unless you voluntarily submit a claim request)
• We do not sell or share personal data with third parties
• We do not run ads or use advertising trackers

External links

Our directory links to shop websites, phone numbers, and Google Maps. When you click these links, you leave BoatFixExperts and are subject to those sites' own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

Claim requests

If you are a business owner and submit a claim request for your listing, we collect the information you provide in the form (typically name, email, and business details). This information is used only to verify and update your listing.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes to how we handle data, we will update this page. For a small directory like ours, changes are unlikely to be frequent.
