Email Communication Policy
We maintain a strict anti-spam policy. Upon enrollment, you'll receive communications aligned with your indicated interests from directlistings.us. You may discontinue these messages at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in each email.
Please note that opting out of promotional emails does not prevent you from receiving essential administrative communications, including membership status updates and policy changes.
Information Sharing Practices
We may periodically reach out with opportunities that may interest you. In doing so, we may utilize third-party service providers to manage communications on our behalf. When you respond to an offer, your information may be shared with that third party.
We occasionally share aggregated, non-personally identifiable data with partners to help them understand which products and services appeal to different member segments.
We have your consent to share collected personally identifiable information (including email addresses) with third parties for commercial purposes, such as advertising. We will not rent or sell your mobile phone number unless we have your explicit consent.
We may disclose your information in the following circumstances:
- When you provide consent
- To enforce our Terms of Service
- To companies under common control with directlistings.us
- In response to legal requirements, subpoenas, or court orders
- To prevent illegal activities, fraud, or threats to safety
- During business transactions such as mergers or acquisitions
Automated Information Collection
Our server may automatically recognize you through encrypted identifiers called "cookies" when you access our Site. These cookies serve as unique markers and do not contain personally identifiable information.
We utilize third-party cookies and tracking pixels (web beacons) to measure page interactions and email engagement. These tools help us identify unique visitors and monitor ongoing activity related to our offers.
External Websites and Services
We bear no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites, including those of our advertisers, partners, or vendors. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external sites before sharing your information with them.
Occasionally, you may encounter offers that require us to share your information with advertisers or partners for service delivery. Participation in such offers remains entirely your choice. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of sharing your information with these third parties.
Data Protection Measures
directlistings.us has implemented comprehensive security protocols designed to safeguard your information from unauthorized access. These measures include firewall protection, encryption technology, and multi-layered password security. All employees are required to understand and comply with these safeguards.
However, no internet transmission can be guaranteed as completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot ensure absolute security of information transmitted to us online. You transmit information at your own discretion. This policy does not address vulnerabilities inherent to internet operations beyond our control.
Minor Protection Policy
This Site is not designed for individuals under 18 years of age. We request that minors do not submit personal information. While individuals under 18 may browse our Site, they may not provide personal details, register for services, or make purchases.

Should directlistings.us or any business segment be sold, merged, liquidated, or transferred, our member database could be included in that transaction either wholly or partially. We may also disclose information without prior notice to protect legal rights, ensure safety and security, prevent fraud, manage risk, or comply with legal obligations.

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where we maintain facilities. By providing your information, you consent to such international transfer, storage, and processing.
