This Privacy Policy explains how Einzeo collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit or use this website.
1. Who is responsible for this website?
Einzeo is privately operated by:
Hamed Akbari
Email: [email protected]
2. Data collected when you visit the website
When you access Einzeo, our hosting and security systems may automatically process technical information such as:
- Your IP address
- Date and time of access
- Requested page or URL
- Browser and device information
- Referring website
- Server response and security information
This information is used to operate the website, prevent misuse, detect technical problems and maintain security.
Einzeo may use Cloudflare or similar security and content-delivery services to protect the website and improve loading speed.
3. Accounts and user profiles
When you create an account, we may process information such as:
- Your name or username
- Email address
- Encrypted password
- Account activity
- Listings, reviews, reports or submissions connected to your account
This information is required to create and secure your account and provide the website’s functions.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you submit is accurate and that you are authorised to provide it.
4. Business listings
Business profiles may include publicly available information such as:
- Business name and address
- Telephone number and email address
- Website and social-media links
- Opening hours
- Services and business descriptions
- Images and other listing information
Business owners or authorised representatives may request changes, claim a listing or ask for a listing to be removed.
Information that is already publicly available may also be collected from public business websites, public directories or other lawful sources.
5. Reviews, reports and verification requests
When you submit a review, report a listing, claim a business profile or request verification, Einzeo may process:
- Your account and contact information
- The content of your request
- Uploaded evidence
- Communication history
- Date, time and technical anti-abuse information
This data is used to review the request, prevent fraud and protect the reliability of the directory.
Verification documents are not published unless this is clearly stated and authorised.
6. Profile-view statistics
Einzeo may count unique visits to business profiles.
To reduce duplicate counting, a temporary pseudonymous identifier may be created from an IP address and a secret security value. The original IP address is not stored in the profile-view statistics database.
Technical IP information may still appear temporarily in normal server or security logs.
7. Maps, address search and external links
Einzeo may use OpenStreetMap-based services, including map displays and address suggestions.
When you use a map or address-search function, your search request and technical connection information may be transmitted to the relevant map service.
Some business profiles may also contain external links to Google Maps or other third-party websites. Data is sent to those providers only when you open the external link or use their service.
Third-party websites operate under their own privacy policies.
8. AI-generated content
Einzeo may use Google Gemini or another AI service to create general descriptions of cities, locations or publicly available business information.
Only information required to generate the content should be sent to the AI provider. Einzeo does not intentionally send private verification documents, passwords or unnecessary confidential information to AI services.
AI-generated information may contain errors and may be reviewed or corrected before publication.
9. Email communication
When you contact Einzeo by email, we process your email address, message content and related technical information so that we can:
- Respond to your message
- Process your request
- Prevent misuse
- Keep records where reasonably necessary
Please do not send confidential documents unless they are specifically requested.
10. Cookies and local storage
Einzeo may use necessary cookies or similar storage technologies for:
- Login and account security
- Language preferences
- Website settings
- Spam and fraud prevention
- Consent preferences
Necessary technologies may be used without optional consent where legally permitted.
Analytics, advertising and other non-essential technologies are activated only where permitted and, when required, after you have provided consent.
You can change or withdraw your consent through the privacy or cookie settings available on the website.
11. Advertising
Einzeo may use advertising services such as Google AdSense, Mediavine or another advertising provider.
Advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers or similar technologies for purposes such as:
- Displaying advertisements
- Measuring advertisement performance
- Preventing fraud
- Limiting how often an advertisement is displayed
- Showing personalised advertisements where the user has consented
Non-essential advertising technologies will not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.
The name of the active advertising provider and the available privacy controls will be displayed in the website’s consent settings.
12. Legal basis for processing
Depending on the situation, personal data may be processed because:
- You have given your consent
- Processing is necessary to provide a requested service
- Processing is required by law
- Processing is necessary to protect the website, prevent misuse or support legitimate operational interests
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
13. Service providers and international transfers
Einzeo may use trusted service providers for hosting, security, email delivery, maps, artificial intelligence, analytics or advertising.
These providers receive only the information needed to provide their services.
Some providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where required, recognised safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses are used.
14. How long data is stored
Personal data is stored only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
For example:
- Account information is generally stored while the account remains active.
- Listing information is stored while the listing remains published or is required for record-keeping.
- Reviews and reports may be stored while they remain relevant to the directory.
- Support messages may be retained while necessary to process the request or protect legal rights.
- Technical logs are retained for a limited period unless they are needed to investigate misuse or security incidents.
Data may be retained for a longer period when required by law or necessary for legal claims.
15. Your rights
Depending on applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your data
- Restrict certain processing
- Object to certain processing
