This policy explains what we collect, what we don't, and how to reach us about your data.
bitcoins.directory ("Platform", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you when you use the Platform.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum information needed to operate the directory:
- Listing information you submit (business name, description, location, contact details, website, social profiles, and a logo you upload).
- Account information, if you create an account (email address and a hashed password).
- Submission metadata for listings submitted without an account (the listing content and any uploaded logo).
- VIP listing information, if you purchase a promoted listing (the Bitcoin payment reference and the promotional period). We do not collect or store card details, and we do not use a third-party payment processor — payments are made directly via Bitcoin.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not use advertising trackers, analytics cookies, or third-party profiling. We do not collect your browsing history across other websites, and we do not sell or rent personal data.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect solely to:
- publish and display your listing in the directory;
- operate and secure the Platform;
- communicate with you about your account, submission, or VIP listing;
- comply with applicable law.
4. Public Listings
Information you submit for a listing — including business name, description, location, website, contact details, and social profiles — is published publicly on the Platform. Do not submit information you do not wish to be public.
5. Cookies
The Platform uses only essential, session-based functionality required to operate (for example, keeping you signed in). We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.
6. Bitcoin Payments
VIP promoted listings are paid for with Bitcoin directly to our address. We record only the payment reference and promotional period. We do not receive or store card numbers, bank details, or personal payment information.
7. Data Retention
We retain listing and account information for as long as it is published or your account remains active. You may request removal of your listing or account at any time (see Contact below).
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
9. Third-Party Links
The Platform may link to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites; please review their own policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the Effective Date above.
