Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Engineering & Architecture ("we", "us", "the site") handles information when you visit https://www.engineering-and-architecture.com. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Information you submit
The site includes a public directory of professionals and companies. If you use the "Publish Service" form, the details you enter (such as business name, category, country, location or address, description, phone number, Instagram, website and other social links) are stored in our database and displayed publicly in the directory. Only submit information you want to be public.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and analytics or advertising partners may automatically receive technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. We use an anonymous authentication session so the directory can work; it does not require you to create an account.
Cookies and local storage
We use a small amount of local storage in your browser to remember your cookie choice. Third parties that provide advertising or measurement services may also set or read cookies on your device, as described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may stop working if you do.
Advertising and third-party vendors
We use or may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to show ads on the site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
- To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Where required by law (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), personalized advertising is shown only with your consent.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the directory and the quizzes.
- To display the listings that users submit.
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse or spam.
- To measure audience and show advertising that helps fund the site.
- To respond to messages you send us.
Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and database services), with advertising partners as described above, when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the site. Listings you publish are visible to anyone who visits the directory.
Data retention and your choices
We keep directory listings for as long as they are useful or until you ask us to remove or correct them. To request access, correction or deletion of information about you, write to contact@engineering-and-architecture.com. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have additional rights, including the right to object to or restrict processing and to lodge a complaint with your local authority.
Third-party links
Listings and pages may link to external websites and social profiles. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Children
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will remove it.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
