Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. What we collect

  • Email address when you make a purchase or join our waitlist
  • Payment information processed securely by Stripe (we never see card details)
  • Order history (URL purchased, timestamp, amount)
  • If you use the list finder on our site, we keep an anonymous record of what you asked for — the kind of business, the place and what you sell — and which lists we suggested, to improve our catalog. We do not store your name, email or IP address with it, and anything that looks like an email address, phone number or link is removed before it is saved.
  • If an AI assistant queries our MCP server or API (see /developers), we log the tool used, the industry and place asked for and the number of results, with the same removal of anything that looks like an email address, phone number or link. We do not store the caller's IP address or any of the conversation.
  • That's it. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no third-party trackers, no behavioral profiling.

2. What we do with it

  • Deliver your CSV download via email
