3. How We Use Information

We process account and listing data to authenticate users, publish directory pages, maintain search engines and feeds, prevent fraudulent activities, and respond to support inquiries. Specifically, your data is processed under the following principles:

• To register you as a new platform user and manage your directory account profile.
• To display, moderate, and maintain your business directory submissions and profile claims accurately.
• To deliver important administrative notifications, security alerts, and service updates.
• To safeguard platform integrity and prevent malicious or abusive activities.
