Your information, handled with care.

What the directory collects

Registration collects a display name, production locality and region, provider classification, capabilities, project types, pickup preference, a chosen public contact URL, a private review email, and publication consent. We do not request exact home addresses, coordinates, CAD files, payment details, or customer lists.

Optional account information

Creating an account stores your name, email, password hash when you use a password, sign-in sessions, and security settings. Google sign-in shares basic profile information and stores the account connection and encrypted OAuth tokens. If you enable an authenticator, encrypted setup secrets and backup codes are stored to protect and recover access. These account details are private and do not create or claim a public listing.

What becomes public

A submission stays private until an authorized reviewer checks contact, confirms profile information, and approves publication. Only your display name, locality, region, classification, description, declared capabilities, job types, pickup choice, lead-time note, selected public contact URL, and confirmation date are published. The private review email, consent evidence, reports, and review notes stay in restricted operational records.

Purpose and permission

Information is used to operate and review directory listings and respond to corrections. Required directory permission is separate from optional research. The directory does not collect research or marketing consent and does not use registration as permission for AI training or unrelated outreach.

Storage and retention

Directory records are stored on the application server’s private disk. Account, session, and security records are stored in a private PostgreSQL database. Authentication uses necessary session and sign-in cookies. Saved-provider IDs remain in your browser and can be removed by unsaving profiles or clearing site storage. There are no analytics trackers. Operational records remain until the operator resolves and removes them.

Corrections, withdrawal, and deletion

Use the listing report form to request a correction, withdrawal, or deletion. Supply a public listing link when available. Avoid sensitive information in the description. Requests go to the private operations queue for manual review; no automated email or guaranteed response time is promised.

Provider terms

Submit only accurate information and contact details you are authorized to publish. Identify brokers clearly. Do not claim certifications, regulated-use suitability, or quality guarantees without evidence. AiAM may request corrections, decline, suspend, or remove inaccurate or disputed listings. Publication is free and does not guarantee leads.

Direct transactions

Customers assess suitability and arrange quotes, payment, delivery, and any file sharing directly with providers. A contact check confirms reachability, not technical quality or regulatory compliance. No commission or undisclosed preference is applied.
