Privacy Policy
Overview
Marketplace Profile (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates marketplaceprofile.com (the “Platform”), a public B2B company directory. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, how long we keep it, and how to request access, correction, or removal.
We use plain language and limit collection to information reasonably needed to operate, secure, measure, and improve the Platform.
Information We Collect
Visitor and technical data: When you use the Platform, we may collect IP address, browser and device information, referring page, pages viewed, approximate country, session timing, searches, filter choices, card opens, contact actions, share or shortlist actions, tool completions, and form status events. We do not intentionally record passwords, private message contents, or the values typed into ordinary form fields through our interaction analytics.
Business profile information: Company profiles may contain business names, addresses, contact details, descriptions, products, services, logos, images, catalogs, videos, certifications, and similar business information. This information may be submitted by a company or representative, supplied by a rights holder, or obtained from publicly available company and brand materials.
Third-Party Images, Trademarks and Content
Company names, trademarks, logos, product images, catalog images, videos, descriptions, and other third-party materials displayed on the Platform remain the property of their respective owners. Marketplace Profile does not claim ownership of third-party intellectual property merely because it appears in a company profile or directory page.
Third-party materials are displayed for company identification, directory, sourcing, and informational purposes. If you are a rights holder or authorized representative and want content corrected, credited, or removed, please contact us through the contact form and identify the page and material involved. We will review the request and take appropriate action.
How We Use Information
We use information to publish and maintain company profiles, operate search and directory features, respond to requests, maintain security, diagnose problems, understand aggregate usage, and improve the Platform.
We do not sell personal information. Public business profile information is displayed as part of the directory and may be indexed by search engines.
Cookies and Service Providers
We may use cookies, browser storage, analytics tools, hosting providers, and other service providers needed to operate the Platform. These providers may process limited information on our behalf or under their own privacy terms, depending on the service.
You can restrict cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not work correctly if cookies or browser storage are disabled. The Platform also links to third-party websites; their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate operational needs, or as required by law. Public company profile information may remain available while a listing is active or until it is corrected or removed.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information we hold. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Requests
You may ask us to review, correct, update, or remove personal information or company profile information associated with you or your organization. You may also ask how your personal information is being used or disclosed. We may need reasonable information to verify a request before making a change.
Privacy questions, complaints, access requests, correction requests, and removal requests can be sent through our contact form. We will review your request carefully and respond as promptly as reasonably possible.
International Processing
Marketplace Profile is operated from Canada and hosted in the United States. Personal information may therefore be stored or processed in the United States and in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Information processed outside Canada may be subject to the laws and lawful access requirements of those jurisdictions.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Platform or our practices change. The date below shows the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
