Privacy Policy & Data Protection Disclosure

2. Applicable Privacy Frameworks

As an international B2B classification and corporate entity reference directory, EntityCodes.org complies with global privacy standards tailored to our cookieless static architecture:

• UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL): Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 regarding the Protection of Personal Data in the United Arab Emirates.
• EU & UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK GDPR): Regulation (EU) 2016/679 regarding the processing of personal data for users within the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA): California Civil Code § 1798.100 et seq. regarding consumer privacy rights for California residents.

3. Technical Architecture & Data Collection Practices

EntityCodes.org is engineered as a 100% static, client-side reference application. We prioritize user privacy through strict architectural constraints:

• Client-Side Search Execution: Interactive searches for NAICS codes, SIC equivalents, and Smart Finder intent matches execute entirely inside your local browser memory over sharded static JSON indexes (`dist/pointer.json` & `dist/finder_map.json`). We do not log, track, store, or transmit your classification search queries to server databases.
• Cookieless Infrastructure: We do not deploy tracking cookies, advertising beacons, canvas fingerprinting, or invasive analytics suites (such as Google Analytics 4).
• Edge Performance & Network Logging: EntityCodes.org is hosted on Cloudflare's global edge network. Cloudflare processes standard HTTP request headers (IP address, user-agent string, path requested) transiently for security filtering, bot detection, and DDoS mitigation. For details, review the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

4. Business Inquiry Form Processing (Formspree Integration)

When you submit a business or compliance inquiry via our Contact Form, your submission is securely processed by Formspree, Inc. (`https://formspree.io/f/mnjkddvv`). Formspree acts as a data processor transmitting your input directly to Tech Labs FZ LLC's operations team.

Information Collected: Business Contact Name, Business Email Address, Company Name (optional), and Inquiry Message Details.

Purpose & Use: We collect this information solely to evaluate and respond to your direct business or support inquiry. We do not subscribe your contact details to marketing lists, nor do we sell, rent, or trade inquiry information to third-party data brokers. For additional details, review the Formspree Privacy Policy.
