Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information to operate this directory. The types of information we may collect include:

When you submit our contact form, your name, email address, and message content are sent to us via Formspree, a third-party form handling service. Formspree processes this data on our behalf and stores it temporarily to deliver your message. You can review Formspree's privacy policy at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This service collects anonymous usage data including pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate geographic location, device type, and referral source. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. No personally identifiable information is intentionally collected through analytics.

Our site uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) to track anonymous site usage and visitor behaviour.
• Essential cookies that may be set by our hosting provider (Vercel) for performance and security.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the core functionality of browsing our directory.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries submitted through our contact form.
• Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve the experience.
• Maintain and improve the directory's content and functionality.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for direct marketing unless you have given us explicit consent to do so.

Third-Party Services

Our site relies on the following third-party services that may process data:

• Formspree for handling contact form submissions.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data. We encourage you to review their respective policies.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry. Google Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google's standard data retention settings. We do not maintain long-term databases of personal information collected from site visitors.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, and disclosure. Our site is served over HTTPS, and we use reputable third-party services with their own security measures in place. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
