Privacy Policy

Last updated 14 August 2026.

What we collect at registration

Your full name, email address and password, your business name, category, location and description, a phone or WhatsApp number, and the photos you upload. Everything except your full name and account email is shown publicly in your storybook, because that is the point of a directory.

We ask for your date of birth only to confirm that you are at least 18. The date is checked during registration and is not retained. We store only the time when the eligibility check passed.

Your account email and password

Used only to sign you in and to reach you about your account. Never shown publicly. Passwords are stored encrypted by our authentication provider, Supabase; we never see the plain password.

How WhatsApp contact works

The Message button opens a WhatsApp chat directly between the visitor and the number on the storybook. We don't see the conversation and don't store its contents.

What we track

We record when a visitor taps Call, WhatsApp, Email or Website on a storybook, and when a storybook is viewed, so businesses and administrators can see how much interest a storybook is getting. These records are tied to the storybook, not to the visitor: we do not log a visitor's name, account or browsing history elsewhere.

We use the country supplied with your visit by our hosting provider to show local wording and prices. We do not request or store your coordinates. Your language and country choice are saved in your browser's local storage, on your device only, so the site remembers your preference next visit. This is not a tracking cookie and is not shared with anyone.

Where data is stored

Account and storybook data is stored with Supabase, our database provider, on servers in the European Union. Photos are stored the same way.

Who we share data with

We don't sell or rent your information. Your storybook is public by design, the same as a phone directory or trade listing. Your account email and password are never shared.

Your rights

Edit your storybook at any time from your account. Delete your account, storybook and photos permanently from Settings. This is immediate and cannot be undone by us once you confirm it.

Businesses added by our team

If your business was added from a partner's spreadsheet rather than by you directly, we hold the details supplied to us for that storybook. Contact us to correct or remove it, or to register the account as your own.

Children

The Notice Board is for business owners and buyers. It is not directed at, and should not be used by, anyone under 18.

Changes

We may update this policy as the platform grows. Meaningful changes will be reflected here with a new date at the top.
