This Privacy Policy describes how ContrastMap ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit www.contrastmap.com (the "Site").
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you view. We collect this information using cookies, log files, and similar technologies.
If you use our "Near me" studio search or other location-based features, we may collect your location (city/region level) based on your IP address or browser geolocation settings. If you explicitly grant permission, your browser's geolocation is used to rank studios by distance. We do not store precise GPS coordinates — they are used only to run that search and are not retained.
If you submit a studio review, a correction, a "Get a quote" request, a newsletter signup, or a contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and message content.
We source studio data (names, locations, amenities, hours) from public directories and studio submissions. This data is aggregated and displayed on the Site.
We use Google AdSense to serve ads on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site 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 may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices.
You can also set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that some parts of the Site may not function properly without cookies.
