This Privacy Policy explains what information List Bulb (“we”, “us”) collects, how we use it, and your choices when you browse the directory, create an account, submit or claim a listing, interact with community features, or pay for an optional listing option. Use of the Service is also governed by our Terms of Use.
Account and authentication
When you sign in, we may collect from your identity provider:
Submissions, claims, and listing management
When you submit, claim, or manage a listing, we may collect:
Payments
When you purchase a paid listing option, we may collect and store:
Card numbers and other full payment credentials are entered on Dodo Payments' hosted checkout. We do not store full card numbers on List Bulb. Your browser may store short-lived session data so a completed checkout return is not processed twice in the same tab.
Community interactions
If you use features such as upvotes (“Bulbs”), we store the association between your account and the listing you interacted with, and related timestamps needed to enforce one-vote or similar rules.
Browsing and listing analytics
When you browse listings, we may collect first-party interaction aggregates:
These counts are stored as daily rollups keyed by listing. Short-lived dedupe rows (hashed IP + listing + event type) are deleted after a few days. We may display aggregate totals on listing pages when a listing has enough activity. We do not store your name or email from browsing alone.
Product analytics and communications
Information you submit for a listing (such as product name, description, logo, website URL, category, tags, and social links) may be shown publicly if the listing is pending or approved. Aggregate listing stats may also be shown. Do not submit personal data you do not want to appear in a public directory.
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may limit account or analytics functionality.
We do not sell personal data. We may share information with service providers and partners needed to operate the Service, including:
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to appropriate confidentiality and continuity of this policy or equivalent protections.
We and our providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Where we do, we take steps appropriate to the nature of the transfer and applicable law, such as using providers with suitable contractual and security safeguards.
We retain account, submission, payment, claim, analytics, and operational records for as long as needed for moderation, support, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and service operations. Retention periods vary by record type. After you delete your account, formerly live listing rows may be retained without an owner account (unlisted) for directory integrity and fraud prevention, and payment or order records may be retained for accounting and legal obligations. We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage is completely secure.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal data we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To make a request that is not covered by the self-serve controls below, contact hello@listbulb.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting. Some information may be retained where we have a legitimate need or legal obligation (for example payment records or fraud prevention).
Signed-in founders can manage product and account data from Your Products and Profile:
Unlist a product
For a live listing, Unlist removes the product from the public directory immediately. The listing record, billing history, and analytics stay in your account so you can List again (if you did not change listing details) or Resubmit for review (if you edited them) from Your Products. Featured placement ends when you unlist.
Delete a product
You can permanently delete a non-live product (draft, pending, rejected, or already unlisted) from Your Products. That removes the listing record and related product data such as analytics tied to that product. Live products must be unlisted first. Paid listing fees are generally not refunded once review or placement benefits were delivered.
Delete your account
Signed-in founders can delete their account from Profile. We show which products are linked to your account before you confirm, and we email a confirmation link before deletion completes (required for Google sign-in). When you delete your account:
Payment and order records tied to listing purchases may be retained for support, fraud prevention, and accounting even after your account is deleted. Operator accounts cannot self-delete through Profile.
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
We may update this policy from time to time. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised date. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
Privacy questions and requests can be sent to hello@listbulb.com.
