Privacy Policy | Human Directory

1. Introduction

Human Directory ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at humandirectory.ai. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform to create and publish personal profile pages optimized for discovery by large language models (LLMs) and AI agents.

Communications: messages you send to us via email or through the platform.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Usage data: pages visited, features used, and interactions with the platform.
Device information: browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
Log data: IP address, access times, and referring URLs.
Profile visitor analytics: aggregated data about who views your public profile, including AI crawlers and bots.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide, maintain, and improve the Human Directory platform.
Generate and host your public profile page, including structured data (JSON-LD), llms.txt, and agent.json files for AI discoverability.
Display visitor and crawler analytics on your profile dashboard.

4. Public Profile & AI Discoverability

By creating a profile on Human Directory, you acknowledge and agree that:

Your profile content is publicly accessible on the internet.
Your profile may be crawled, indexed, and surfaced by search engines, LLMs (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity), and AI agents.
We generate machine-readable representations of your profile (including llms.txt and structured data) specifically designed for AI consumption.
You control what information appears on your profile and can edit or delete it at any time.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in these limited circumstances:

Public profile content: visible to anyone on the internet, including AI systems, by design.
Service providers: trusted third parties that help us operate the platform (hosting, analytics, authentication).
Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, or legal process.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and profile data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your profile and personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes. Cached copies in search engines or AI model training sets may persist beyond our control.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Request deletion of your data.
Object to or restrict certain processing.
Data portability.
Withdraw consent at any time.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies required for authentication and platform functionality. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Third-party services we integrate (such as Cloudflare Turnstile) may set their own cookies as described in their respective privacy policies.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and secure authentication. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

Human Directory is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.
