Information handled automatically
The site uses standard web-server logs and may use analytics, advertising, security, and human-verification services. Those services may process device, browser, approximate location, cookie, or network information according to their own terms. Precise location is requested only when you choose the nearby-business feature; browser permission is required.
How information is used
Information may be used to operate and secure the directory, respond to messages, review listing applications and corrections, maintain listings, understand website usage, and improve the service. A listing application is reviewed before publication.
Questions, corrections, and removal requests
Use the listing correction and report form to flag inaccurate public information. For other privacy questions, use the contact form. The site owner still needs to publish any additional legally required privacy contact information.
Retention and updates
Information should be kept only as long as needed for directory operations, security, and applicable obligations. Specific retention periods and the process for legal requests require owner and legal confirmation. Material changes to this notice should be reflected on this page.
