Data Storage and Protection
Launchtory is a website directory. We do not provide FaceSwap, face swapping, deepfake generation, nudify tools, or similar services that manipulate a person's likeness, and we do not collect facial biometric templates to operate such services. Images submitted for directory listings are used to present the listed websites. Third-party tools linked in the directory operate independently under their own privacy policies.
We store account details, website submissions, and order records in a PostgreSQL database on our hosting infrastructure. Uploaded listing images are stored in the server file system. Published website descriptions, links, logos, and screenshots are public directory content; do not include private personal information in these materials. Payment providers process payments through their own systems under their respective privacy policies; we retain order references, payment status, and related transaction records to manage publication, support, refunds, and disputes.
We use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit to and from our website. Account passwords are stored as hashes rather than plaintext. Account functions require authentication, administrative functions are restricted to authorized administrators, and sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are filtered from application logs. These measures reduce the risk of unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain account information while your account remains active and directory submission information while needed to maintain and review listings. We retain support correspondence and operational logs as needed to resolve requests, operate the service, and investigate security or abuse issues. Order and payment records may be retained after account closure where needed for accounting, refunds, payment disputes, fraud prevention, or applicable legal obligations. Retention depends on the purpose and applicable requirements; there is no single fixed retention period for all data.
To request access, correction, account closure, or deletion of your personal data, contact [email protected]. We verify requests and delete or anonymize information no longer needed, except where continued retention is required for the purposes described above. We respond to privacy requests within one month.
Log Files
Launchtory uses operational log files that may contain IP addresses, request paths, timestamps, browser information, and account or request identifiers. These records can constitute personal data and are used to administer the website, diagnose errors, and investigate security or abuse issues. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are filtered from application logs.
Cookies and Web Beacons
