Privacy policy
Effective Oct 22, 2026. Operator: Luna Directories, publisher of Dump Nearby.
Dump Nearby is a static directory published by Luna Directories. It has no accounts, no login and no database of visitors. This page lists everything that can collect data when you use it, who receives it, how long it is kept and how to opt out.
Who is responsible
The data controller for this site is Luna Directories (for EU/UK GDPR purposes, the "controller"). Privacy requests go to hello@dumpnearby.com. We aim to answer within 30 days.
What we collect directly
Nothing, unless you send it. Browsing the directory sends no form data to us. Pages are static HTML served from a content delivery network (Cloudflare), which keeps standard server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for a short period for security and capacity planning under Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use, or plan to use, Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages, searches and tools are used.
GA4 sets first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*, up to 2 years) and collects a pseudonymous client ID, pages viewed, approximate
location derived from a truncated IP address, device and browser type, and referrer. IP addresses are not stored. We do not pass form content or
personal identifiers to Analytics, and we do not use Google Signals or advertising features in Analytics. Google processes this data under the Google Privacy Policy. Opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, by blocking scripts, or by declining
analytics in the consent banner where one is shown. Retention of user-level analytics data is set to the shortest available period (2 months).
Advertising
The site is funded by display advertising. No ad network is active today. When one goes live it will be one of the partners below, and this section will already apply. Our ad partners are, or will be, Mediavine (Journey by Mediavine and Grow) and Google (AdSense / Ad Manager). These partners and their demand vendors use cookies, local storage and device identifiers to serve ads, measure ad views and clicks, cap how often you see an ad, and, where you have consented or not opted out, show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Mediavine's practices are described in the Mediavine privacy policy; its ad partners' cookie disclosures are listed there and in the consent tool shown on this site when ads are live.
- Opt out of interest-based advertising from many vendors at once at aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance), networkadvertising.org (Network Advertising Initiative) and, in Europe, youronlinechoices.com.
We do not supply partners with anything you type into a form. Advertisers have no influence over which facilities are listed or how they are described.
Consent banner (EU, UK and Switzerland)
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent management platform certified for the IAB TCF and Google's EU user consent policy asks for your choice before any advertising or analytics cookie is set. You can change or withdraw consent at any time from the "Privacy" or "Manage consent" link the banner leaves in the footer. Without consent, the directory still works; only non-essential cookies are withheld.
Your California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA): Do Not Sell or Share
Under California law, allowing ad partners to use cookies for cross-context behavioural advertising may count as "sharing" personal information (identifiers, internet activity, coarse location). We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of sharing:
- Use the consent or "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link shown by the ad partner's banner when ads are live.
- Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser; our ad partners honour it as an opt-out signal.
- Email hello@dumpnearby.com with the subject "Do Not Sell or Share".
California residents may also ask what categories of personal information we have collected, request deletion, and will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because we keep no visitor records ourselves, most requests are forwarded to the analytics or ad partner that holds the data.
Your rights under GDPR and UK GDPR
Our legal basis for analytics and advertising cookies is your consent (Article 6(1)(a)); for CDN security logs it is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)). You have the right to access, rectify, erase or port your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. Data processed by Google and Mediavine may be transferred to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK, the ICO).
Forms
Correction, claim and contact forms are hosted by Tally (Tally privacy policy). What you submit (your message, an optional email address and the page you were on) goes to Tally and then to us. We use it only to check and publish the correction and to reply if you asked for a reply. We do not sell, rent or share form submissions with advertisers. Email us to have a submission deleted.
