What information we collect

We may collect account details, business owner contact details, listing content, business contact details, review submissions, enquiry form messages, email verification details, renewal and approval status information, and basic technical information such as IP address, browser details, security logs, and cookie preferences.

Business listing information submitted for publication may be displayed publicly once approved. Do not submit private personal information in a business listing unless you are happy for it to appear on the website.

How we use information

We use information to create owner accounts, verify email addresses, review and publish listings, send approval or rejection messages, manage renewals, moderate reviews, respond to enquiries, protect the website, and improve the directory.

Lawful bases

We process information where it is needed to provide the directory service, where we have a legitimate interest in running and protecting the website, where we have consent for optional communications or optional cookies, and where we need to meet legal obligations.

Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers that help operate the website, hosting, security, email delivery, backups, analytics if introduced later, and payment systems if paid features are added. We may also share information where required by law.

How long we keep information

We keep account and listing information while an account or listing remains active, and for a reasonable period afterwards for administration, security, and record keeping. Enquiries, logs, and moderation records may be kept for shorter operational periods unless needed to resolve a dispute or protect the service.

Your rights

You may ask to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of your personal information. You may also withdraw consent where we rely on consent. Some information may need to be kept where there is a legal, security, or legitimate business reason.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how your personal information is handled.
