ProductListo ("ProductListo", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website at productlisto.com (the "Service"), an editorial directory where people discover, submit, and review software and tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. When you create an account, submit a listing, post in the forums, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), profile details, and the content you submit — including listing names, URLs, descriptions, taglines, and any comments or forum posts.
Payment information. Paid submissions are processed by third-party payment providers. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers; our payment processors handle card data under their own security standards and provide us only limited details such as transaction status and the last digits of a card.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Service, we may collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring URLs, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the Service is used.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
- create and manage your account and authenticate sign-ins;
- review, publish, reject, or moderate submitted listings and forum content;
- process payments and send related receipts and notices;
- respond to your questions and provide support;
- send service-related and, where permitted, editorial or promotional communications;
- detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, and violations of our Terms; and
- comply with legal obligations.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:
- Publicly, where you choose to make it public — for example, a listing you submit and that we approve, or content you post in the forums, becomes visible to other users.
- With service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and payment processing, and who are bound to use the information only to provide those services.
- For legal reasons, when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ProductListo, our users, or others.
- In a business transfer, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, in which case information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, keep you logged in, remember settings, and measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling some cookies may affect functionality such as staying signed in.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Approved listings and published forum content may remain visible even after an account is closed, unless removal is requested and is consistent with our policies and legal duties.
6. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including hashing passwords and using encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, update, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update much of your information from your account settings, or contact us to make a request. You may also unsubscribe from non-essential emails using the link in those messages.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
9. International Users
We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international transfers of personal information.
10. Third-Party Links
The Service contains links to third-party websites, including the products and tools listed in our directory. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
12. Contact Us
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please reach us through the contact link in the site footer.
