Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TinTorch Lists collects, uses, and shares personal data when you use our directory of businesses and professionals.

1. Data we collect

• Account data - name, email, and profile details provided via TinTorch Account when you sign in.
• Listing & review content - information you submit about a business, and reviews you write.
• Usage data - pages viewed, searches, device and browser information, and IP address.
• Cookies - see our Cookie Policy.

2. How we use data

• to operate, secure, and improve the Service;
• to display listings, reviews, and rankings;
• to authenticate you and manage subscriptions;
• to communicate service-related notices; and
• to comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal bases

Where applicable law requires, we process data on the bases of contract performance, our legitimate interests in running a directory, your consent (for example, non-essential cookies), and legal compliance.

4. Sharing

Listing and review content is public by design. We share data with service providers (such as hosting, media storage, and authentication via TinTorch) who process it on our behalf. We do not sell your personal data. We may disclose data where required by law.

5. Retention

We keep personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Public reviews may remain visible after account closure in anonymised or attributed form as permitted by law.

6. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.

10. Contact
