We believe in being straightforward about what information we collect, how we use it, and what we don't do with it.
This Privacy Policy describes how Shannondale Shortlist ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you use our website at shannondaleshorlist.com (the "Site"). We are a small community directory. We do not sell your data, run advertising, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes — ever.
We only collect information you voluntarily provide to us. We do not use tracking pixels, behavioral advertising, or data brokers.
| What we collect | When we collect it | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, phone number | When you submit the contractor application or contact form | To review your application or respond to your message |
| Business information, services, credentials | When a provider submits an application | To vet and create a directory listing |
| References provided | When a provider submits an application | To verify community standing where applicable |
| Message content | When you use the contact form | To respond to your inquiry |
| Basic site analytics | When you visit the Site | To understand how the Site is being used (page visits, not personal data) |
We do not collect payment information, social security numbers, government ID numbers, or any sensitive personal data.
Information submitted through this Site is used only for the following purposes:
Our contact and application forms are processed through Formspree (formspree.io), a third-party form service. When you submit a form, your information is transmitted to Formspree's servers and delivered to our email inbox. Formspree's own privacy policy governs how they handle form data in transit. You can review their privacy policy at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
We do not use any other third-party data processors, CRM platforms, email marketing services, or advertising networks that receive your personal information.
Information that appears in provider directory listings — including name, business name, service categories, service areas, bio, and badges — is submitted voluntarily by providers for the purpose of being publicly listed. By applying to join the Shannondale Shortlist, providers consent to this information being displayed publicly on the Site.
Provider contact information (phone numbers, email addresses) is displayed on listing profiles at the provider's discretion and with their consent. Homeowners contacting providers through the directory do so directly — Shannondale Shortlist is not a party to those communications.
This Site may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics to understand general traffic patterns — such as how many people visit the Site and which pages are most viewed. This does not involve tracking individual users, storing personal data, or using advertising cookies.
We do not use Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, or any behavioral advertising trackers. We do not use cookies to identify, profile, or retarget individual visitors.
If you use a browser that blocks all cookies, the Site will function normally.

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information submitted through this Site. Form data is transmitted securely via HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use caution when submitting personal information online.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
