2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our directory service
• To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• To analyze website usage and improve our services
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service
• To send you updates about our service (only with your consent)

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under GDPR:

• Consent: When you voluntarily provide information through our contact form or subscribe to communications, we process your data based on your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests: We process technical data and analytics to operate and improve our website, ensure security, and prevent fraud. These activities are necessary for our legitimate business interests.
• Legal Obligation: We may process your data to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data with:

• Service Providers: We use third-party services for hosting, analytics (datafa.st), and form processing (Formspree). These providers act as data processors and are bound by contractual obligations to protect your data.
• Affiliate Partners: When you click on links to boilerplate products, we may use affiliate tracking. See our Terms of Service for more information about affiliate links.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

When data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

5. Affiliate Links and Tracking

Our website contains affiliate links to various boilerplate products. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us maintain and improve our directory service.

Affiliate partners may use cookies and tracking technologies to attribute purchases to our referrals. These cookies are subject to the affiliate partner's privacy policy. We do not control these third-party tracking technologies.

We only recommend products we believe provide value to our users. Your use of affiliate links is voluntary, and you are not obligated to purchase through our links.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law:

• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 2 years or until you request deletion
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized, retained for up to 12 months
• Technical logs: Retained for up to 90 days for security purposes

You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us. We will delete your data unless we have a legal obligation to retain it.
