2. What we collect

Automatically collected

When you visit CrawlerList, our infrastructure may automatically log the following for security, debugging, and analytics:

Provided by you

If you contact us by email, post a listing, or submit an abuse report, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that submission — typically an email address and the message body. We use that information solely to respond to you and operate the service.

3. What we don't collect

4. Cookies & analytics

CrawlerList uses a minimum number of cookies. These fall into two categories:

Strictly necessary

Used for things like remembering whether you've passed the age-gate or theme/display preferences. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.

Optional analytics

We may use a privacy-focused analytics tool to measure aggregate page performance and traffic. This is anonymous and cannot identify you personally. You can block analytics cookies in your browser at any time.

5. Third-party services

CrawlerList aggregates listings from third-party sources. When you click through to an original listing, you leave our site and become subject to the privacy practices of that third-party host. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the privacy practices of external sites.

We may also use third-party providers for hosting, content delivery (CDN), analytics, and email. These providers are bound to handle data only as needed to provide their service to us.

6. Data retention

Server logs are typically retained for 30 days for security and debugging purposes, then deleted or anonymized. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the inquiry, plus a reasonable archival period. Listing data is retained while the listing is live and for a short window after removal.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws like the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA (California), including:

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@crawlerlist.net. We'll respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

CrawlerList is strictly for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact abuse@crawlerlist.net immediately and we will delete it.

9. International users

CrawlerList is operated from the United States. By using the site you consent to your data being transferred to and processed in the US, which may have different data protection laws than your home country. We apply the same minimum-collection principles regardless of where you're visiting from.

10. Security

We use industry-standard practices (HTTPS, hardened hosting, limited internal access) to protect any data we hold. No system is 100% secure though, so we can't guarantee that data sent to us cannot be intercepted in transit.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be flagged on the site. Continued use of CrawlerList after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
