Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect limited information about how the directory is used, including:

• An approximate country and state or region from an IP-based location lookup, used to sort nearby markets
• Search terms, selected countries, filters, and structured survey answers used to improve market coverage
• Optional name, organization, email address, phone number, and message when you ask us to contact you
• Page views, device information, and aggregate usage statistics collected through Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve our services
• Understand which countries, market types, and directory features people need
• Identify unsuccessful searches and gaps in official market coverage
• Analyze usage patterns and optimize performance

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Cookies and Tracking

We use Google Analytics, Vercel Web Analytics, and limited browser storage to:

• Remember your preferences
• Analyze site traffic and usage
• Improve our services
• Prioritize new official data sources and directory features

Search terms are truncated before analytics collection, and values that look like email addresses or phone numbers are replaced with a redacted marker. The discovery form may optionally collect contact details and a message so we can respond about listings, corrections, operations, data coverage, or partnerships. Those contact fields and messages are delivered privately through Resend to our designated inbox and are not sent to Google Analytics or Vercel Analytics. Analytics receives only non-identifying details such as the selected answer, country filter, help-topic count, and whether a contact method was provided. Browser storage is used to avoid showing the same form repeatedly.

Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics load automatically on every visit. They collect page views and the interaction events listed above, and Google Analytics may store analytics cookies. The site does not display a separate analytics consent banner.

Approximate-location events may include a country or state/region, but analytics events do not include latitude or longitude.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt-out of marketing communications
