Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-17

USA Permits ("we," "us," or "our") operates usapermits.top. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. If you contact us (e.g., via [email protected] or a contact form), we collect what you send us — such as your name, email address, and message content — solely to respond to you.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:

• IP address (typically processed in anonymized or truncated form by our analytics tools)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages, and general navigation patterns
• Approximate location derived from IP address (city/region level)

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels) for:

• Essential functionality — remembering basic site preferences.
• Analytics — understanding how visitors use the site, via Google Analytics 4 (GA4). It sets cookies and sends Google your IP address, browser details and the pages you view. You can opt out at any time with the "Opt out of analytics" link at the bottom of every page, or with Google's opt-out add-on.
• Session recording and heatmaps — via Microsoft Clarity, which may record anonymized mouse movement, clicks, and scrolling to help us improve usability. Clarity masks personal data by default.
• Advertising — via Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details on managing preferences and a full list of cookie categories.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content
• Understand which permit categories, cities, and content are most useful to visitors (via aggregated, anonymized analytics)
• Respond to inquiries sent to [email protected]
• Serve relevant advertising through Google AdSense
• Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or security issues

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info/choices.

5. Your Rights

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (as those terms are defined under California law — note that interest-based advertising cookies may be considered a "share" under CPRA). To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

EU/UK/EEA visitors (GDPR basics): If applicable to you, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights. This site is intended for visitors in the United States. You can turn analytics off at any time with the "Opt out of analytics" link at the bottom of every page.

6. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, consistent with the default retention settings of our analytics providers. Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
