Privacy Policy

How FindProfessional collects, uses and protects your information — written in plain language.

Last updated

The short version

  • Visitors can browse the directory without creating an account.
  • Professionals choose what goes on their public profile.
  • Verification details are seen only by our review team.
  • We don't sell your personal information.

01Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how FindProfessional ("we", "us", "our") handles personal information when you visit our website, browse the directory, or submit a professional listing.

By using Professional, you agree to the practices described here. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

02Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use FindProfessional.

Listing information
When you join the directory we collect your name, professional title, category, profile photo, location (country, region, district, city), experience, company, role, bio, services and skills.
Contact details
Any phone number, email address, WhatsApp number, website or social links you choose to add to your profile.
Verification information
Optional details such as a professional license, certification, portfolio, company website or business registration that help us review your listing.
Usage information
Basic technical data such as browser type, device, pages visited and approximate location, used to keep the site running and improve it.
Newsletter
Your email address, if you subscribe to updates.

03How We Use Your Information

  • To review, verify and publish professional listings.
  • To show approved profiles in the directory and in search results.
  • To contact you about your listing, such as approval, rejection or requests for more information.
  • To send updates you've subscribed to — you can unsubscribe at any time.
  • To keep FindProfessional secure and to prevent fake or misleading listings.
  • To understand how the site is used and make it better.

04Public Profiles

Once your listing is approved, the information on your profile — including any contact details you added — becomes publicly visible to anyone who visits FindProfessional.

Please only add contact details you're comfortable sharing publicly. Verification information is never shown on your public profile.

05How We Share Information

We don't sell your personal information. We only share it in these situations:

  • With visitors, through the public profile you create.
  • With service providers who help us run the website (for example hosting), under confidentiality obligations.
  • When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and property of our users or FindProfessional.

06Data Retention

We keep listing information for as long as your profile is active. If your listing is rejected or you ask us to remove it, we delete or anonymise your information unless we need to keep it for legal reasons.

07Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
  • Ask us to delete your listing and personal information.
  • Object to or restrict certain uses of your information.
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time.

To make a request, contact us through the Contact page. We may need to confirm your identity first.

08Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

09Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
