Privacy Policy

Introduction

CollectionAgencies.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is an informational website about the debt collection industry. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site.

This site does not require user accounts, does not process payments, and does not collect personal information beyond what is described below.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. It collects the following non-personally-identifiable information:

• Pages visited
• Referring website or search engine
• Browser and operating system
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• General geographic location (country level, not precise location)

Vercel Web Analytics does not store IP addresses or assign persistent identifiers to visitors. Visits are counted using an anonymized hash that cannot be used to track you across sites or over time.

Information You Submit

Browsing this site requires no personal information. The one exception is the agency claim form: if you submit a request to claim an agency listing, we receive the information you provide — your name, business email address, phone number (optional), job title, and verification details. The notification we receive also includes your IP address and the time of submission. We use this information solely to review and respond to your claim request. It is delivered to us by email, is never sold or shared with third parties, and is not used for marketing.

Cookies

This site does not set analytics cookies — our analytics provider works without them. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies. We do not use cookies for user authentication because this site does not have user accounts.

How We Use Information

We use analytics data solely to:

• Understand which content is most useful to our visitors
• Identify technical issues (broken pages, slow load times)
• Improve site navigation and content organization
• Measure the effectiveness of new content and features

Information We Do Not Collect

CollectionAgencies.com is a purely informational resource. We do not:

• Require or offer user accounts or logins
• Collect personal information from visitors browsing the site (the voluntary agency claim form described above is the only exception)
• Process payments or collect financial information
• Sell, rent, or trade any visitor data to third parties
• Use advertising networks or serve targeted ads

Third-Party Services

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained by Vercel according to their data retention policies. We do not maintain separate databases of visitor information. Agency claim form submissions are retained only as long as needed to review and respond to the request.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. The content on this site is intended for adult business professionals and consumers dealing with debt collection matters.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your data, including:

• The right to know what information is collected about you
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to opt out of analytics tracking

Because we do not collect personal information or maintain user accounts, most data requests are not applicable. If you have questions or concerns about your data, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
