This describes what Videsify actually stores, not what a policy generator thinks a directory might store. If something here does not match what the site does, that is a bug — tell us, and we will fix one or the other.

What we hold

• Your account: email address, name, city, state and ZIP, and the gender answer, which is only ever used as a combined count. A profile photo if you add one. The date you agreed to the terms, and which version.
• If you enquire: your message, the vendor you sent it to, and the event details you filled in. The vendor sees all of it — that is the point of sending it.
• If you list a business: everything in the listing form. Most of it is published. Your business registration number and insurance details are not published, and are used only to check that you are real.
• Photos you upload: stored with the Videsify watermark burned in. Your original stays on your own machine.
• Searches: the words typed, and what we read out of them. No account, no IP address, nothing that ties a search back to a person.
• Listing statistics: views, search appearances and contact taps, counted per day. Visitors are counted with a one-way hash that is salted, changes daily, and is deleted after two days. It cannot be turned back into an IP address or a person.
• Sponsored ads: how many times an ad was seen and clicked, per day and per page. Counts only — never a profile of who saw what.
• Email we send you: the address, what kind of message it was, when, and whether it arrived. Never a copy of the message itself.

Email

Two different things, kept apart on purpose. Account email — a sign-in link, an enquiry you received, your listing going live — answers something you did, and is sent whatever your settings say. Update email — new vendors, occasional news — is sent only if you ticked the box, which starts unticked and can be changed at any time in Profile & settings. Every email carries an unsubscribe link that works in one click without signing in, as well as the header your mail app uses for its own unsubscribe button.

What we do not do

We do not sell your details. We do not hand the vendor list to anyone who wants to market to them. We run no advertising trackers, no third-party analytics scripts and no cross-site profiling. Sponsored ads on Videsify are sold and served by us: the advertiser learns how many people saw the ad, never who they were.

Cookies and local storage

• A sign-in cookie, so you stay signed in. The site cannot work without it.
• A small cookie recording that you finished your profile, so you are not asked again on every page.
• Your browser remembers whether you dismissed the welcome message, and which theme you chose. That never leaves your device.

Where it lives

In a Postgres database hosted by Supabase in the United States. The site itself runs on Vercel. Photos are in Supabase storage. Email is sent through our own mailbox at our domain host. Payments, when you make one, are handled by Stripe — card numbers never reach us.

How long we keep it

• Visitor hashes used for counting: two days.
• Enquiries, reviews and listings: while your account exists, or until you delete them.
• The record of emails sent, and the audit log of admin decisions: kept, because both exist to answer “what happened, and when”.

Your choices

• Change or correct anything about you in Profile & settings.
• Turn update email off there, or from any email we send.
• Vendors can pause or delete a listing from the dashboard.
• Ask for your account and everything attached to it to be deleted — there is a button in your account, or email us. Reviews you wrote stay up with your name removed: a vendor’s rating cannot be rewritten by closing an account.
• Ask for a copy of what we hold about you, and we will send it.

Children

Videsify is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect anything from a child. If you believe a child has created an account, tell us and we will remove it.

Changes

When this changes in a way that matters, the date above changes, and you are asked to agree again the next time you save your profile. We keep the date and the version of what you agreed to, so a later change never rewrites what you accepted earlier.
