Privacy Policy
What information is collected when you visit Katy Guide, who collects it, and the choices you have.
Effective date: October 6, 2026
What we collect
Katy Guide is a free local directory of home service companies. The site has no forms, accounts, or sign-ups, so we don't collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number through it. If you email us, we use your message only to reply.
Hosting and security
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like most web hosts, Cloudflare may log basic technical data, such as your IP address and browser type, to keep the site secure and fast. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Pages with a map load map code from unpkg.com and map images from OpenStreetMap, so those services also see your IP address when the map loads.
Advertising and cookies
Katy Guide uses or may use Google AdSense to show ads that help cover the cost of running the site. Ads are clearly labeled and never affect which companies are listed or their order.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Your choices
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings at www.google.com/settings/ads. You can learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can also opt out of some other vendors' personalized ads at www.aboutads.info.
Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their settings.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date. Questions? Email [email protected].
