1. Introduction

Welcome to Directory Template (accessible at https://cv.brickstemplates.io). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.

Directory Template is a niche directory property owned, operated, and managed by Absolutely Elite LLC (“Parent Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclosure, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, claim a listing, or interact with our advertisements.

2. Information We Collect

As a directory platform, we collect information in three ways:

A. Information You Provide to Us

  • Account Registration: If you register to claim a listing or write a review, we collect your name, email address, and encrypted password.
  • Business Verification: If you claim a business listing, we may request proof of ownership (such as a business email or phone verification).
  • Payment Data: If you purchase a Premium Listing, financial data is stored by our payment processor (Stripe/PayPal). We do not store full credit card details on our servers.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit the Site, our servers automatically collect:

  • Log Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and referral URLs.
  • Device Data: Information about the device you use to access the Site (mobile vs. desktop).
  • Location Data: If you use our “Near Me” search features, we may request access to your geolocation.

C. Publicly Available Information (Directory Data)

To build our directory, we aggregate publicly available business information (Business Name, Address, Phone, Website) from third-party sources, government records, and public web pages. This “Business Contact Information” is not considered personal private data under most privacy jurisdictions, but we provide a mechanism for business owners to claim, update, or remove this data.

3. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to access or store information. Specific tools we use include:

  • Google Analytics (GA4): We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. You can opt-out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Google Search Console: Used to monitor the performance of our site in Google Search results.
  • Facebook Pixel: We may use the Facebook Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions people take on our website.

4. Third-Party Advertising

We work with third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site.

Google AdSense:
We use Google AdSense to publish ads. Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet. Users may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Future Advertising Partners:
We reserve the right to partner with premium ad networks (such as Mediavine or Raptive) in the future. In such cases, these partners may collect and use data for the purpose of serving personalized ads. This policy will be updated to reflect specific partner requirements upon integration.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to:

  • Operate and maintain the Directory.
  • Verify business ownership and prevent fraud.
  • Send you administrative information (updates to terms, billing reminders).
  • Deliver targeted advertising and analyze the effectiveness of our campaigns.
  • Respond to legal requests and prevent harm.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal email or user data to spammers. We typically only share information with:

  • Service Providers: Hosting (Vultr), Email (SMTP providers), and Analytics (Google).
  • Legal Obligations: If required by law to comply with a subpoena or legal process.
  • Business Transfers: If Absolutely Elite LLC is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that asset.

7. Data Retention & Security

We implement appropriate technical security measures (SSL encryption, firewalls via LiteSpeed/CyberPanel) to protect your personal information. We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of incorrect data.
  • Request deletion of your account or claimed listing.

To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection team at the email below.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Directory is intended for general audiences and business professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
