Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Overview

Area Code Lookup ("we", "our", "the Site") does not require registration and does not collect, store, or sell personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number. This policy explains what happens automatically when you visit this website, and the choices you have.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain non-personal information may be processed automatically:

• Analytics data: pages visited, approximate geographic region, device type, browser, and referral source, collected through Google Analytics 4. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
• Technical logs: standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamp) retained briefly by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and performance purposes.
• Consent preference: your cookie/advertising consent choice is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and is never sent to our servers.

3. Cookies and Advertising

We display advertising through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
• You can also use our on-page consent banner: declining means advertising and analytics cookies are not activated on your device.

For details on how Google uses data from partner sites, see Google's Privacy Policy and the How Google uses information from sites that use our services page.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-PTHMWFV4RF) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Analytics cookies are only activated with your consent (Consent Mode v2). You can also block analytics entirely using a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

• EEA / UK (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data, and to object to or restrict processing. Because we do not collect personal data ourselves, most requests concern the third-party providers listed above, whom you can contact directly.
• California (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its "sale". We do not sell personal information; personalized advertising is controlled through the choices above.
• To exercise any right or ask a question about this policy, contact us at contact@areacodelookup.info.

6. Third-Party Links and Data Retention

This Site links to external websites (e.g., calling apps and telecom services). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We retain no personal data, and any server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and performance purposes.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
