Who we are
Listings Biz (listingsbiz.com, "we", "us") runs a directory of businesses and people. We decide how your personal data is used on the site, so we are the data controller. You can reach us at info@listingsbiz.com.
What we collect
| When | What |
|---|---|
| You sign in | Your email address and the one-time codes we send you. |
| You add a listing | Name, category, country, description, website, contact details, social links, logo or photo, and any other field you fill in. |
| You build a VIP page | The HTML you submit, uploaded images, your contact email, licence key and review notes. |
| You use the AI helper or website scan | The answers you type and the website address you give. We read that public page to fill the form. The prompt is opened in the AI service you choose, so their terms apply there. |
| You visit the site | Technical data such as IP address, browser, pages viewed and referrer. If you accept analytics cookies, we also measure visits in aggregate. |
| You write to us | Your message, email address and any details you share, by email, WhatsApp or live chat. |
How we use it
- To run your account and show your listing.
- To review listings and VIP pages and to tell you the result.
- To keep the site safe, stop spam and enforce our terms.
- To answer your questions.
- To understand how the site is used and improve it, when you allow analytics.
The legal bases we rely on are your contract with us (running your account and listing), our legitimate interests (security, moderation, improving the site), your consent (analytics and chat cookies) and legal duty where it applies.
What is public
A listing is meant to be found. The name, description, category, country, website, social links and contact details you put in a listing or VIP page are visible to everyone and can be indexed by search engines. Do not publish anything you want to keep private. Your sign-in email is never shown unless you add it to your listing as a contact email.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with the services that help us run the site, under agreements that limit their use of it:
- Hosting and email delivery providers.
- Crisp, for live chat, only if you accept chat cookies.
- Google, for analytics and search tools, only if you accept analytics cookies, and for VIP owners who add their own Analytics or Search Console.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
Some of these providers are outside your country. Where data leaves the UK or the European Economic Area, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Cookies
We use three groups. Necessary cookies keep you signed in and protect forms, and are always on. Analytics cookies count visits and page views, and live chat cookies let you talk to us on the Help page. Both are off until you accept them. You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and listings while your account is active. If you delete a listing it is removed from the site straight away and from our backups within 30 days. Server logs are kept for up to 90 days. We keep records we must keep by law for as long as the law says.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, the California CCPA and the Australian Privacy Act) you can ask us to access, correct, delete or export your data, to restrict or object to some uses, and to withdraw consent. To do any of this, email info@listingsbiz.com. We answer within one month. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
We use encrypted connections, sign-in by one-time code instead of passwords, review of every VIP page before it goes live and limits on repeated requests. No system is perfectly secure, so please tell us at once if you think your account was misused.
Children
Listings Biz is not for children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we make a meaningful change we will update the date above and, for important changes, email account holders.
