Each third-party service is governed by its own privacy policy. We only share the minimum data necessary for each service to function.
5. Data for Directory Sites You Operate
When you operate a directory site on our platform, you are the data controller for personal data collected through your site (visitor information, listing owner data, CRM contacts, lead form submissions). My Directory Kit acts as the data processor, providing the infrastructure to store and manage this data on your behalf.
As a directory site operator, you are responsible for:
- Maintaining your own privacy policy for your directory visitors
- Obtaining consent for data collection where required by law
- Complying with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations
- Ensuring CRM communications to your contacts comply with applicable messaging laws
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function (authentication, session management)
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how the platform is used
- Preference cookies: Remember your settings and preferences (e.g., dark mode)
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may impair platform functionality.
7. Data Retention
- Active accounts: Data retained for the duration of your subscription
- Cancelled accounts: Site and data retained for 90 days after subscription ends, then permanently deleted
- Billing records: Retained for 7 years for legal and tax compliance

- SMS and email logs: Retained for the duration of your subscription; deleted with your account
- CRM data: Retained for the duration of your subscription; you may delete individual records at any time from your dashboard

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
- Encrypted storage for sensitive credentials (API keys, payment tokens)
- Secure hosting infrastructure with daily backups
- Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel
- Regular security updates and monitoring
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
