3. How We Share and Disclose Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share your information in the following circumstances:

• Search Engine Submissions: The primary purpose of our Service is to share your Business Submission Information with third-party search engines, including Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other online directories. This is a fundamental part of the Service you are purchasing.

• Third-Party Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, website analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and data hosting. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as a business asset.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our Site is secured with industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain the information we collect for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. This includes providing you with our Services, maintaining business records for financial and legal purposes, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.

You have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. You may request to:

• Access the personal information we have about you.
