Privacy
How this directory handles website activity
Publisher and contact
Elite Direct Ecom LLC publishes Best Dentists SC. Send privacy questions or deletion requests to [email protected]. This notice describes the current directory and its consent-based activity counters.
Hosting and direct contacts
Cloudflare Pages serves the website and processes ordinary web requests, such as IP address and request information, to deliver and protect it. Our public directory does not display visitor IP addresses. If you email us, your message and contact details are used to answer the inquiry or review a correction and are handled through our email service. You may request deletion; some correspondence may need to be retained to address an unresolved request or applicable obligations. No fixed email-deletion schedule is claimed.
Optional profile activity
Profile analytics stays off until you choose Allow analytics on a practice profile. If you consent, Google Firebase anonymous authentication supplies a browser identifier, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise App Check helps validate requests. We record a practice ID, server-resolved town/service categories, event type and receipt time. We do not request a name, email, dental records, payment information or form contents in these activity events. A browser identifier is pseudonymous and is not proof of a unique person.
90-day public counters
The site’s activity ledger and public counters use a rolling 90-day window. A profile view counts one consenting browser identity per practice with activity during that window; repeat views refresh its last-view time without adding another identity. Phone and website counters count distinct attempted clicks, not completed calls, bookings, patients or treatment outcomes. Totals refresh hourly. The hourly maintenance task removes older activity records; inactive rate-limit records are removed after a day. A record can remain until the next hourly run.
Browser storage and provider records
Your browser may retain the analytics preference and a Firebase anonymous sign-in identifier until you clear site storage or decline analytics. Firebase Authentication maintains the separate anonymous sign-in account and related service records until deleted under the applicable service process; the 90-day activity-ledger cleanup does not itself delete that authentication account. Cloudflare, Firebase and bot-protection providers may maintain operational/security records under their own retention policies. Contact us for questions about these separate records.
Analytics choices
Choose Decline analytics on a practice profile to stop optional activity collection. The site respects Global Privacy Control where the browser provides it. Clearing site data also removes the stored browser preference. Public aggregate counters can be read without creating a visitor identity. Google advertising features, personalized advertising and Google Signals are not enabled.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics collection is enabled only after the same profile analytics consent. Detailed user and event data use Google Analytics’ two-month retention setting, with retention resets on new activity disabled. These controls apply separately from the directory counters’ rolling 90-day window and do not affect most standard aggregate reports. Google’s provider documentation explains the scope and timing of its retention controls.
Forms and outside services
No GoHighLevel form, booking form or lead-submission workflow is active. Filter categories may appear in page URLs; comparison selections remain in page memory. Google Fonts provides typefaces. Practice websites, telephone handlers and source links are outside services with their own policies.
