1Enquiries you send
When you use an enquiry form on a listing, we send your name, email, phone number (if given) and message straight to that business so they can reply. We keep an encrypted copy for 90 days in case of delivery problems, then delete it automatically. The business keeps its own copy under its own privacy policy.
2Business owners
If you claim, add or manage a listing, we collect your name, role, email and phone number, plus the details you add to your listing. We use these to check you're entitled to manage the business, run your account, and send account and billing emails.
We keep account details while your account is open and for up to 12 months after it closes. Billing records are kept for 6 years, as the law requires.
3Payments
Paid listings are handled by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our website. We receive a record of your payment and subscription. See Stripe's privacy policy.
4Listing statistics
We count listing views and clicks (calls, website, directions and enquiries) as totals only. These counts contain no personal information and use no cookies.
5Spam protection and maps
Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to stop bots, which may process your IP address and browser details. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Listings show an embedded Google Map. When it loads, Google receives your IP address. See Google's privacy policy.
6Cookies
Visitors browsing the directory get no tracking cookies from our listing system. Business owners who log in get essential login cookies, which end when they log out or after a set time.
7Who we share it with
Only the business you contact, and the services that run the site: Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (spam protection), Google (maps) and our hosting provider (hosting and email). We never sell your information.
8Your rights and contacting us
You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or object to how we use it. Contact us however suits you and we'll reply within one month.
If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office on 0303 123 1113.
