What Personal Data We Collect and Why
We collect data in the following situations:
- User Accounts: When you register, submit a listing, or edit your profile, we store your account data including name, email address, and any information you choose to submit (e.g. listing details).
- Comments: If you leave a comment, we collect the comment content, your IP address, and browser user agent to help detect spam.
- Forms: WS Form may collect your submitted details (such as business info or contact preferences) when you use forms on the site. These forms may be connected to listing submissions or user preferences.
