Privacy Policy

Last updated August 31, 2026

SepticScope is an informational website that helps visitors find septic-system permitting information, official government sources and homeowner guidance. This policy explains the information that may be processed when you use the site.

Analytics

SepticScope uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage, such as pages viewed, approximate traffic sources, device or browser information and interaction patterns. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. We use this information to improve navigation, find broken or unhelpful pages and understand which guides visitors use.

Advertising, Google AdSense and cookies

SepticScope uses Google AdSense to support the site with advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to SepticScope and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses information for advertising at Google's advertising technologies page. If additional third-party advertising vendors or networks are added, this policy will be updated with the relevant disclosures and opt-out information.

Consent choices

Where privacy law or Google's advertising requirements call for a consent choice, the site or Google's consent tools may ask you to manage advertising or cookie preferences. Your available choices can vary by region and by the services active on the site.

Feedback and contact information

If you contact SepticScope or submit feedback, the information you choose to provide may include your name, email address, the page you are reporting and the contents of your message. We use that information to respond, investigate corrections, repair broken links and improve the site. Do not submit passwords, financial account details, medical information or other sensitive personal information through the feedback form.

External government and third-party links

County guides intentionally link to state, county, municipal, public-health, environmental-health and other official websites. SepticScope does not control those sites. Their privacy policies, cookies and data practices apply when you visit them.

Children

SepticScope is a general informational resource for property owners, homebuyers and professionals and is not directed to children under 13.

Policy changes

This policy may be updated when site features, analytics, advertising providers or applicable requirements change. The latest revision date is shown above.
