Privacy Policy
Last updated: [insert date]
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Adsin Technologies exists to make businesses easier to find — not to make people harder to reach. This policy explains, as plainly as we can manage, what information we collect, why we collect it, how it's used, and what say you have over it. If anything here is unclear, we'd rather you ask than guess.
What Information We Collect
- Business and listing information you or your team provide for publication through Ocat — business name, address, phone number, categories, descriptions, images, and hours.
- Contact information submitted through forms on our site, such as requesting a live demo or asking a question — name, email, phone number, and company.
- Account information if you use any self-service tools we provide.
- Technical and usage information collected automatically when you visit our site — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited.
- Client and partner data submitted by agencies, developers, chambers, or associations working with us under a partnership agreement, limited to what's needed to deliver the agreed services.
How We Use Your Information
- To deliver the services you've asked for — Ocat, hosting, domains, content, technology implementation, and everything else in our bouquet.
- To publish structured business information across the Ocat Business Visibility Platform and Network, only after your review and approval.
- To respond to inquiries and provide support.
- To maintain, secure, and improve our services and website.
- To send service-related and, where you've agreed to it, marketing communications, with an easy way to opt out at any time.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
What We Publish, and What We Keep Private
Ocat's entire purpose is to make approved business information visible — across search engines, answer engines, AI assistants, maps, directories, and the country-specific platforms in the Business Visibility Network. Business listing information you've reviewed and approved for publication is intentionally made public and distributed this way, because that visibility is the service. Personal account details, billing information, and anything not specifically designated for publication are kept private and are never published or distributed through the network.
Search Engines, Answer Engines, and AI Assistants
Because Ocat exists to make approved business information discoverable, we intentionally structure that information — using schema markup and similar technical standards — so it can be accurately read, indexed, and cited by search engines, answer engines, and AI assistants. This is expected, intended behavior for information you've approved for publication, not an unintended disclosure. It does not apply to personal or account information, which is never structured or published for this purpose.
International Data and Storage
The Business Visibility Network operates across multiple countries, and infrastructure supporting our services may be located in different jurisdictions depending on the service and, where relevant, data residency requirements. [Insert specific hosting and data storage locations, and any applicable cross-border transfer safeguards, once confirmed.] We take reasonable steps to protect information in line with applicable data protection laws in the relevant jurisdiction.
How Long We Keep Information
We retain business, account, and contact information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain accurate records, and meet legal or contractual obligations. You can request deletion of your information at any time, subject to any legal or contractual requirements that require us to retain certain records.
Your Rights
Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to receive a copy of it, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent — including consent for business listing information to be published. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Children's Privacy
Our services are directed at businesses and business representatives, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18, and if we learn that we have, we'll take steps to delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including encrypted connections, access controls, and confidentiality practices among our team — to help protect the information we hold. No system is completely immune to risk, and we continue to review and improve these measures over time.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our services, technology, or legal obligations change. We'll post the revised version here with an updated date, and where changes are significant, we'll take reasonable steps to let you know directly.
