Melissa Pet Sitting Directory (melissapetsitting.com) is a static local guide to in-home pet sitting in Melissa, Texas. We put this guide together to help Melissa families sort through their pet sitting options, and this page explains what information we collect from visitors, what we don't collect, and how we handle anything that passes through the site. Short version: there isn't much to disclose, and that's by design.
What We Collect
Nothing automatically. This site does not use analytics tracking, advertising pixels, or cookies of any kind. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking scripts, and nothing is set on your device when you browse our directory. You can read every page here without leaving a trace on your own computer or phone.
If you use the contact form on our contact page, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit. That information is used only to respond to your question. We do not add contact form submissions to a marketing list, share them with third parties, or hold onto them any longer than it takes to answer you. Once your question has been answered, we don't have a reason to keep it around.
Beyond that, our web server keeps standard access logs, the kind most websites automatically generate, showing things like IP address and timestamp. These logs exist for basic security purposes only, mainly to spot and block unusual traffic. We don't review them for marketing, don't cross-reference them with anything else, and don't use them to build a profile of who visits or how often.
What We Don't Do
- We don't sell personal information.
- We don't share contact form submissions with advertisers or data brokers.
- We don't run retargeting ads based on site visits.
- We don't use behavioral tracking of any kind.
External Links
This directory links to the websites of pet sitting businesses listed here, along with review platforms like Google, Yelp, and Nextdoor where those businesses' reviews appear. Those links are part of what makes this a useful guide: they let you go straight to a sitter's own site or read what other Melissa pet owners have said about them. Once you click one of those links and leave melissapetsitting.com, though, this privacy policy no longer applies.
Each business and platform sets its own privacy practices, and we don't control or take responsibility for how they handle your information once you're on their site. Some may use cookies, tracking, or their own contact forms with different rules than ours. If you have a question about how a listed business or a review platform uses your data, that question belongs to them, not to us, and we'd encourage you to check their own privacy policy directly.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age group. If you believe a child submitted information through our contact form, reach out using the contact details below and we'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we make a material change to how we handle personal information, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Given how little information this site collects in the first place, and how simple the site itself is, we don't expect that to happen often. If our practices ever do change, this page will change with them.
Contact
Questions about this privacy policy, or about anything else on the site, can be sent through our contact form. We're a small local directory, not a large company, so a real person reads every message that comes through and there's no automated system standing between you and an answer.
