Privacy Policy
This policy covers the DIRT website at dirttrades.com. Right now the site is a pre-launch page where contractors join a list to get early access to the app. It explains what we collect, why, and how to get your information removed. We keep it plain.
"DIRT," "we," "us," and "our" mean DIRT Trades DBA, the operator of dirttrades.com. If you have a question about anything here, email get@dirttrades.com.
What we collect
- Your phone number. When you join the early-access / testing list, we ask for a phone number so we can text you when the app is ready to test. This is the main thing we collect.
- Your email (optional). If you give us an email, we may use it to reach you about early access.
- Basic site analytics. When you visit the site we record page views, the page that referred you, and any campaign tags in the link you clicked (UTM parameters). We use this to understand which pages and links are working.
- A small record in your browser. We store a small attribution record in your browser's localStorage so we can tie a sign-up back to the link you came from. It stays in your browser and you can clear it any time through your browser settings.
Why we collect it
- To text or email you when DIRT is ready for you to test.
- To see which messages and pages are bringing contractors in, so we can stop wasting effort on the ones that aren't.
- To answer you if you reach out, and to keep the list and the site working.
That's it. We don't build advertising profiles and we don't track you across other websites.
Text messages: consent and how to stop
When you give us your phone number to join the list, you agree that we can text you about early access and testing. Message frequency isn't fixed. Message and data rates may apply.
You can stop the texts at any time — reply STOP to any message and we'll stop texting that number. Reply HELP for help, or email get@dirttrades.com. Opting out of texts won't affect anything else.
How it's stored and secured
The phone numbers and emails on the list are stored in a secured database (Supabase / Postgres). We limit who can get to that data and we take reasonable steps to protect it. No method of storage or transmission is ever 100% secure, but we treat your contact info like it matters — because it does.
We don't sell your data
We do not sell your personal information, and we don't rent or trade it. We don't run third-party ad trackers on this site.
Third parties
Our analytics are first-party and self-hosted on our own server at analytics.dirttrades.com (PostHog), so your page-view data stays with us rather than going to an outside ad network. We use Supabase as a data processor to host the database that holds the early-access list. We may use a service to actually send the text messages. These providers only handle your information to provide their service to us, under their own terms.
How long we keep it
We keep your phone number and any email on the early-access list until the app launches and we've finished inviting people, or until you ask us to remove it — whichever comes first. Analytics records are kept only as long as we need them to understand how the site is doing. When we no longer need information, we delete it or strip what identifies you.
Your rights and how to delete your info
You can ask us what we have on you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To be removed from the list or to have your information deleted, email get@dirttrades.com from or with the phone number or email you signed up with, and we'll take care of it. To stop texts only, reply STOP as described above.
The DIRT app
This policy is about the website and the early-access list. The DIRT app — which handles your own job and money information — isn't out yet. When it launches, how the app handles your data will be covered by the terms and privacy policy shown inside the app.
Children
DIRT is a tool for contractors and their businesses. The site and the list are not directed to anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor gave us information, email get@dirttrades.com and we'll remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product grows or the law changes. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll do our best to let people on the list know.
