Who We Are

CarportPermitGuide.com is an informational website providing guidance on carport permit requirements for U.S. homeowners. The site is operated independently and is accessible at https://carportpermitguide.pages.dev.

Information We Collect

Information you provide: If you contact us via email, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We do not operate a mailing list, newsletter, or account registration system. We do not collect names, phone numbers, or physical addresses from visitors.

Automatically collected data: Like most websites, our site collects standard log data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for site security and performance monitoring.

Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site — pages viewed, time on site, and traffic sources. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. The data is anonymized and aggregated; we do not see individual visitor data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies for two purposes: analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect how certain features of the site function.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to county building department websites, state government resources, and other external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Links to external sites do not constitute endorsement of those sites or their content.

Data Retention

We retain email correspondence for a reasonable period for customer service purposes. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings. We do not sell, trade, or rent visitor data to any third party.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
