4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, processing payments, and delivering communications — solely as necessary to provide our services. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Contractor Profile Information: Information you include on your public contractor profile — including company name, services, coverage area, and trade categories — is publicly visible to all visitors of the platform. Contact information (phone number and email address) is visible only to registered FM account holders who are logged in.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Keep you logged in to your account across sessions.
  • Remember your preferences and settings.
  • Analyze platform usage and performance through analytics tools.
  • Deliver relevant advertising in the future (currently not in use).

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic platform functionality, including user authentication and session management. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the platform, which pages are visited most, and where users encounter issues. We use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose.
  • Preference cookies: Remember your settings and preferences to provide a more personalized experience.
  • Marketing cookies: May be used in the future to deliver relevant content and advertising. We will update this policy before implementing any marketing cookies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Specifically:

  • Account data is retained for the duration of your active account and for a reasonable period following account closure to allow for reactivation and to fulfill any outstanding legal obligations.
  • Contractor profile data is retained for the duration of your membership and for a reasonable period after cancellation to allow for account reactivation. Profiles downgraded to Basic upon cancellation remain visible in the directory unless you request removal.
  • Transaction records are retained for a minimum of seven years as required for tax and accounting purposes.
  • Log data is retained for up to 12 months and then deleted or anonymized.

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at info@facilityregister.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days, subject to any legal retention requirements.

7. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect it, including:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
  • Secure password hashing using industry-standard algorithms. We never store passwords in plain text.
  • Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis among our staff and service providers.
  • Regular security monitoring and updates to our platform infrastructure.
  • Payment data processed exclusively through PCI-DSS compliant payment processors — we do not store payment card data on our servers.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.
