Privacy Policy

The Directory ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information when you use our website and directory services.

What We Collect

We collect information in two ways — what you give us directly, and what we collect automatically when you use the site.

• Business listing information — name, address, phone, website, category, and any content you submit when claiming or updating a listing.
• Contact form submissions — name, email address, and any message you send us.
• Usage data — pages visited, time on site, browser type, and device information, collected automatically via standard analytics tools.
• Cookies — small files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use the directory.

How We Use Your Information

• To display and maintain your business listing in The Directory.
• To respond to inquiries and support requests.
• To improve the directory, fix issues, and understand how people use the site.
• To send relevant communications about your listing — you can opt out at any time.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Business Listing Data

Information submitted as part of a business listing — including business name, address, phone number, and description — is displayed publicly in The Directory and may be indexed by search engines and AI platforms. This is the intended purpose of a listing. If you wish to update or remove your listing, contact us directly.

Cookies

We use cookies for basic site functionality and analytics. We do not use cookies to serve advertising or track you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly as a result.

Third-Party Services

The Directory may use third-party tools including analytics platforms, form processors, and scheduling tools. These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them. We only use services that handle your data responsibly.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your listing is active or as needed to provide our services. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. We will respond within 30 days.

Your Rights

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Opt out of any marketing communications at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.

Children's Privacy

The Directory is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of The Directory after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
