Privacy Policy

1. Information Collection & Use

We only collect personal information when it is necessary to provide our services. Data is collected transparently, with your consent, and we clearly explain why it’s needed and how it will be used.

1.1 Account Sign-Up

If you choose to register an account on DirectoryFame (for example via Google, GitHub, or similar), we may receive certain basic profile information (such as your name, email address, and avatar/profile picture). Your account’s public display name and profile picture may be used on our platform.

1.2 User-Submitted Listings

If you submit a listing (for example a product, service, SaaS, directory item or resource) to DirectoryFame, we may collect publicly-available information about that submission (for example: name of the listing, description, website link, category). By submitting content, you confirm you have the right to provide and publish that information.

1.3 Usage & Analytics

We may collect non-personal information (such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring link) to help us understand how users interact with our site, improve our services, and support our operations.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information primarily to:

• Provide, maintain and improve our website and listings features.
• Display listings and related information you submit.
• Communicate with you (for example: account notifications, changes to services, support responses).
• Ensure the security and integrity of our platform (prevent abuse, fraud, unauthorized use).
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Data Retention & Protection

We only retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy (for example account management, listing maintenance). We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration.

4. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell or rent personally identifiable information to third parties. Aggregated or anonymised data (which cannot identify you) may be used for analytics or to improve our services. Personal information may only be shared when:

• You have given your explicit consent.
• Required by law, regulation or legal process.
• We need to use third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform (they are contractually obligated to protect your data).

5. External Links

DirectoryFame may include links to external websites or resources that are not operated by us. We have no control over those external sites’ content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

6. Your Rights

Depending on jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to correct or update the information.
• The right to request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal or operational limits).
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing of your data.
• The right to withdraw consent where that was the basis of processing.

If you choose not to provide information requested, you may be unable to use certain features of the site. Continued use of DirectoryFame constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy and how we process information.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We (and our third-party analytics/providers) may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance functionality, analyse traffic patterns, personalise user experience, and provide features. You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies, but that may affect some aspects of the website’s functionality.

8. International Data Transfers

Given the global nature of the internet, your data may be transferred to, stored and processed in a country other than your own. We will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Effective Date” noted. Your continued use of DirectoryFame after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

Effective Date: November 3, 2025
