How we collect, use, and protect your information.

EngineCrib processes personal data only to operate the directory, secure accounts, improve discovery, and communicate with you when you opt in. We do not sell your personal information. Where we rely on partners (e.g. hosting or analytics), we choose vendors with strong security practices and limit data to what they need to perform their role.

• Account details such as name, email, and authentication identifiers when you register.
• Business and listing content you submit—descriptions, categories, media, and contact channels you choose to publish.
• Usage signals like pages viewed, search queries, device type, and approximate region (via standard logs).
• Support messages and form submissions you send to our team.

• Provide core features: profiles, listings, saved items, and authenticated dashboards.
• Maintain safety, prevent abuse, and enforce our terms.
• Measure performance, fix bugs, and improve ranking and relevance in search.
• Send transactional emails (verification, security alerts) and optional product updates if you subscribe.

We use cookies and local storage where necessary for sessions, preferences, and fraud prevention. Optional analytics cookies may help us understand aggregate traffic. You can control cookies through your browser; some features may not work if strict blocking is enabled.

We share data with service providers under confidentiality terms, when required by law, or to protect rights and safety. Public listing fields are visible as designed when you publish a profile or business page.

We keep information as long as your account is active or as needed to operate the service. After deletion requests, we remove or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where law requires longer retention.

Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal data we hold. Contact us through the contact page and we will verify your request before acting.

The platform is not directed at children under 16. If you believe a minor has provided personal data, please reach out so we can remove it promptly.
