Privacy policy

Who we are

CrpyByte (crpybyte.com) is the controller of personal data described here. Contact: info@crpybyte.com.

What we collect

Enquiry forms: your name, email, company, country, message, the page you sent it from and your IP address (for spam and abuse protection).

Directory submissions: company details you choose to publish, plus a private contact email used for verification and billing, which is never shown publicly.

Free tools: most tools run entirely in your browser and send nothing to us. Website-checking tools send the URL you enter to our server to fetch it. If you ask a tool to email your result, we store your email, the result and whether you agreed to updates.

Analytics: if enabled, Google Analytics records anonymous usage such as pages viewed and approximate location.

Why we use it (legal basis)

To answer your enquiry and provide services you request (contract / legitimate interest); to publish and bill directory listings (contract); to keep the site secure (legitimate interest); to send updates only if you opted in (consent).

How long we keep it

Enquiries: up to 3 years after last contact. Directory data: while the listing is active, then 12 months. Security logs and rate-limit records: up to 30 days. Tool emails: until you unsubscribe or 2 years.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We use our hosting provider and email infrastructure to operate the site, and a payment provider when you buy a paid plan. Data may be processed outside the UK/EEA with appropriate safeguards.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, object to processing or withdraw consent at any time by emailing info@crpybyte.com. You may also complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

Cookies

The site itself sets no tracking cookies. If analytics is enabled, Google Analytics sets its own cookies. The admin area uses one essential login cookie for staff.
