Privacy Policy

Bot & Spam Detection

Our primary goal is to provide you an experience on our website that is as secure and protected as possible. To do this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are a real person and not a robot or a spam software. By spam we mean any electronically undesirable information we receive involuntarily.

Classic CAPTCHAS usually needed you to solve text or picture puzzles to check, or an invisible reCAPTCHA version with no box interaction.

Data We Collect

      • Business details you entered into Forms for a Resource submission / listing management / Contact / Newsletter signup forms
      • IP address to mitigate data breaches caused by malicious bots
      • For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information
