Effective Date: September 28, 2026
DockZonal is an online marketplace and directory that helps consumers, property owners, businesses, and other users discover and connect with independent dock builders, marine contractors, dock repair companies, boat lift companies, seawall and bulkhead contractors, marina contractors, installers, equipment providers, and related waterfront professionals.
By using DockZonal or submitting information through the website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
The information we collect depends on how you interact with DockZonal and which services you use.
You may provide information such as your name, email address, telephone number, company name, business address, property or project location, website, service area, project details, requested services, timeline, budget information, messages, photographs, files, and other information you choose to submit through our forms, website, email, or other communications.
Businesses may provide information for directory listings or business accounts, including business names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, websites, service descriptions, photographs, service areas, specialties, operating information, and other business-related information.
If you submit a request to find or connect with a dock or waterfront professional, we may collect information about your project, project or property location, requested services, property type, dock or waterfront structure, project condition, timeline, budget information if requested, photographs, uploaded files, additional comments, and your contact information.
We may collect information contained in communications you send to DockZonal, including emails, contact-form submissions, listing requests, project inquiries, support requests, and communications concerning leads or referrals.
When you visit DockZonal, certain information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location, date and time of visits, interactions with the website, and similar technical or usage information.
We may use information we collect to operate, maintain, protect, and improve DockZonal and provide our directory, marketplace, project-matching, lead-generation, and referral services.
This may include using information to:
When you submit a project request, quote request, request for availability, or request to be connected with a professional, DockZonal may share information from your request with one or more independent service providers that may be relevant to your project.
Information shared may include your name, telephone number, email address, project or property location, project description, requested services, timeline, budget information, photographs, uploaded files, and other information you voluntarily provide as part of your request.
We share this information so potentially relevant providers can evaluate the request and, where appropriate, contact you to discuss your project, ask questions, provide information about availability, arrange a site visit, or offer an estimate or services.
By submitting such a request, you understand that DockZonal may transmit your submitted information to one or more potentially relevant independent service providers and that those providers may contact you directly regarding the request.
DockZonal may operate lead-generation, referral, project-matching, and introduction services for independent contractors and other service providers.
In connection with these services, DockZonal may provide a service provider with information about a user’s project and contact information so the provider can evaluate and respond to the opportunity.
DockZonal may receive compensation from service providers for leads, referrals, introductions, advertising, featured placement, subscriptions, or other services. Compensation does not change the purpose for which project information is submitted: helping connect users with potentially relevant providers.
We may disclose information to companies and service providers that help us operate DockZonal and provide our services.
These providers may include website hosting companies, cloud and database providers, analytics services, email providers, form and communication services, website security providers, advertising and marketing platforms, payment processors, customer-support services, and other technology or professional service providers.
We may disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, subpoena, court order, or government request, or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect DockZonal, our users, businesses, our legal rights, property, security, or the safety of others.
Information may also be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction involving all or part of DockZonal.
DockZonal may use cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain functionality, remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, measure traffic, improve performance, prevent abuse, and support analytics, advertising, and marketing.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be able to manage certain cookies or tracking technologies through your browser settings or through cookie or consent tools made available on DockZonal.
DockZonal may use third-party analytics, advertising, and marketing services to understand how visitors use the website, measure traffic, evaluate marketing performance, improve our services, and display or measure advertisements. These third parties may collect information through cookies, pixels, device identifiers, or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy practices and applicable law.
Certain information displayed in DockZonal business listings may come from publicly available sources, official business websites, businesses themselves, users, or third-party data sources.
Information intended for a public business listing, such as a business name, business telephone number, business address, website, service area, description, services, or other business information, may be publicly accessible to anyone visiting DockZonal and may be discoverable through search engines.
We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, maintaining business and transaction records, managing project and lead history, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, preventing fraud or abuse, complying with legal obligations, and supporting legitimate business purposes.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. However, no internet transmission, website, database, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information. These may include rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of certain information, or information concerning certain disclosures or uses.
You may contact DockZonal through our Contact Us page to submit a privacy-related request. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state privacy laws. Depending on the law and whether it applies to DockZonal, these rights may include requesting access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; obtaining information about certain disclosures; receiving a copy of certain personal information; or opting out of certain forms of targeted advertising, sharing, or sale of personal information.
Terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” “personal data,” and “targeted advertising” may have specific meanings under applicable state laws. DockZonal will process valid privacy requests and provide applicable opt-out mechanisms when required by law.
When you ask DockZonal to help connect you with a contractor or service provider, sharing the information necessary to facilitate that request is part of the service you requested.
Once information has been provided to an independent service provider, that provider may process the information under its own privacy practices and legal obligations. DockZonal does not control an independent provider’s separate handling of information after it has been lawfully provided for purposes of responding to your request.
DockZonal is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we may take appropriate steps to delete it.
DockZonal may link to websites operated by contractors, service providers, advertisers, manufacturers, suppliers, or other third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites or businesses. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third parties with which they interact.
If you provide contact information, DockZonal may use it to respond to inquiries, provide service-related communications, discuss project requests, communicate about listings or accounts, provide requested information, or otherwise communicate with you regarding your interaction with DockZonal.
If you submit a request to connect with a professional, potentially relevant independent service providers may also use the contact information provided to communicate with you regarding that request.
Where permitted by law, DockZonal may send marketing communications. You may unsubscribe from promotional email using the unsubscribe instructions included in those messages. Service-related communications may still be sent when necessary to provide a requested service.
DockZonal may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements. When updates are made, the revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or would like to submit a privacy-related request, please contact DockZonal through our Contact Us page.
