Information we collect

Poompugar may collect information that visitors choose to submit, including name, email address, phone number, city and state, service need, message details, business or event name, public source links, correction requests, consent confirmations, and the page where an inquiry started.

The site may also receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, cookie data, spam-check signals, and hosting logs. This technical information helps operate the site, reduce spam, diagnose errors, and keep forms usable.

How information is used

• Respond to contact, listing, correction, claim, sponsorship, and event inquiries.
• Review whether submitted information is appropriate for a public directory page.
• Forward relevant lead details to a listed business only when the user submits an inquiry for that purpose or agrees to be contacted.
• Prevent spam, abuse, misleading submissions, fake reviews, fake ratings, and unverifiable claims.
• Maintain site security, analytics, search visibility, and basic WordPress operations.

Public listings and private submissions

Lead details submitted through a form are not displayed publicly as reviews or ratings. If a user submits business information for a listing, Poompugar may edit, reject, or request clarification before publishing. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information, confidential documents, payment details, legal files, tax documents, medical information, or immigration case details through general directory forms.

Third-party services

The site may use WordPress, Contact Form 7, Akismet or anti-spam tools, Rank Math, Google Site Kit, Google services, hosting logs, email delivery tools, WooCommerce components, and newsletter-related tools. These services may process technical or submitted information needed to provide forms, security, analytics, search functionality, email delivery, and site administration.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Poompugar may use cookies or similar technologies for WordPress functionality, spam prevention, analytics, login/session behavior, and advertising-related measurement when enabled. The site uses Google AdSense-related configuration through ads.txt and may use Google services that process data according to Google’s policies.

Corrections and privacy requests

To request correction or removal of submitted information, use the contact page and identify the relevant listing, message, or public page. Poompugar may retain limited records when needed for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or operational history.
