Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 13, 2026

1. Who we are

Find Her Trade ("Find Her Trade," "we," "us," or "our") is a directory and review platform that helps homeowners find women-owned contracting businesses and women service technicians. The website and service are owned and operated by SunStone Associates LLC.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use findhertrade.com and related services (the "Service"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Account information. When you register, we collect your name, email address, and — if you sign up with email — a password. If you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information (such as your name and email) from Google in accordance with your Google settings.
• Reviews and ratings. When you post a review, we collect the star rating, review text, and the name shown with it. Reviews are displayed publicly on the Service.
• Professional applications. If you apply to be listed, we collect your name, email, company, skills, a short bio, and any other details you submit.
• Scholarship applications. If you apply for a scholarship, we collect the information you provide in that form.
• Verification information. To be listed, professionals complete identity and background verification performed by a third-party verification provider. That provider collects and processes verification information under its own terms and privacy policy; we receive the results and status of that verification.
• Communications. When you contact us (for example, at [email protected]), we keep your messages and contact details.

Information we collect automatically

• Usage and device data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring pages, collected through cookies and similar technologies.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is described here or required for verification. 

3. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage accounts and authenticate logins;
• Publish directory listings and display reviews and ratings;
• Review professional applications and coordinate identity and background verification;
• Review scholarship applications and communicate about them;
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues; and
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described below:

• Publicly displayed content. Reviews, ratings, the name shown with a review, and professional listing details you submit are displayed publicly on the Service.
• Service providers. We share information with vendors who help us operate the Service — for example, website hosting, email delivery, login providers (such as Google), analytics, and our third-party identity and background verification provider — who process it on our behalf.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law or legal process, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Find Her Trade, our users, or others.
• Business transfers. If SunStone Associates LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, understand how the Service is used, and improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the Service works. 

6. Your choices & rights

• Access and update. You can review and update your account information when logged in.
• Edit or delete your reviews. You can edit or delete the reviews you have posted at any time while logged in.
• Delete your account. You can request deletion of your account and associated personal information by contacting us.
• Marketing. You can opt out of non-essential emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (such as access, correction, deletion, or portability). To exercise any right, contact us at [email protected].

7. Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep your login credentials confidential.

9. Children's privacy

The Service is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Third-party links

The Service may link to third-party websites, including the sites of listed professionals and our verification provider. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
