Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
This policy explains what GlobalDirectoryPages collects when you verify a business with us, what we publish, and what stays private.
What we collect
Account details (name, email), business details you submit for verification (entity name, addresses, contact details, industry), documents you upload (licenses, insurance certificates, registration filings), verification and monitoring results, and billing records held by our payment processor.
How we use it
To run verification checks, calculate trust and risk scores, monitor your verification status on an ongoing basis, publish your verified listing and badge, provide support, and process payments. We do not sell personal data.
What becomes public
For verified businesses we publish business-level information only: name, general location, industry, badge tier, trust score, compliance status, and the public verification report. Uploaded documents, owner contact details, internal risk signals, and account information are never published.
Automated processing
Verification decisions use automated document analysis and cross-checks. Exceptions are reviewed by a human before a badge is issued or revoked, and you can ask for a review of any decision that affects your listing.
Storage and security
Data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure with access controls. Uploaded documents are held in private storage readable only by your account and our review process. Payment card details are handled entirely by our payment processor; we never see or store them.
Retention
Verification records are retained while your account is active and for a period afterwards so historical badge claims remain auditable. You can request deletion of your account and documents at any time.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you can object to processing. Contact us and we will respond within one month.
Cookies
We use only the cookies and local storage needed to keep you signed in and to run the site. We do not use advertising trackers.
