1. With Third-Party Service Providers

We may share limited data with trusted service providers only to the extent necessary for the functioning of our website and services, including:

• Google AdSense: For displaying relevant advertisements on our website

• Google Forms: For securely collecting and storing listing submissions

These providers are governed by their own privacy policies and data protection practices, and they do not have access to the data beyond their functional role.

If a user provides explicit consent (e.g., authorizing us to promote their listing or publish additional information beyond standard directory usage), we may share or publish their content accordingly — limited to the agreed-upon context.

3. For Legal and Regulatory Purposes

• Comply with any legal obligation or law enforcement request
• Respond to a court order, government regulation, or lawful investigation
• Enforce our Terms & Conditions or protect the legal rights, safety, or property of BizFinder and its users

4. In Case of Platform Transfer or Restructuring

If ownership of BizFinder is ever transferred, merged, or restructured, user data may be transferred as part of that business transaction — provided that the successor honors the privacy commitments outlined in this policy.

1. Right to Access

You may review your publicly available listing on BizFinder at any time, as the information you submitted through our Google Form is published transparently on the platform (unless unpublished or withdrawn).

We do not maintain or provide downloadable personal data reports, nor do we process access requests beyond the scope of published listings.

As a personally managed platform, we do not maintain long-term personal data repositories outside the purpose of listing. Once a listing is reviewed and published, all internal processing is completed and we retain no separate access records.

2. Right to Correction

If you discover any incorrect or outdated information in your published listing, you may request an update by contacting us through our official email or contact form. We may ask for identity verification before making changes to prevent misuse.

3. Right to Withdraw Consent

You may request removal of your listing at any time. Upon receiving a valid request, we will unpublish or delete your listing data within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that we do not offer partial removal — the entire listing will be taken down.

4. Right to Erasure

If you no longer wish to be listed on BizFinder, you may request complete removal of your listing and associated data. Once removed, we do not retain backup copies unless required for compliance with legal obligations.

5. Right to Object to Processing

Since we do not use user data for promotional campaigns or behavioral profiling, the scope for objections is minimal. However, if you believe your data is being misused or displayed without consent, you may report it to us and we will investigate promptly.

6. Right to Data Portability (Not Applicable)

We do not support or maintain structured data portability features such as exporting your submission in machine-readable format, as BizFinder does not operate on user account logins or databases. The information you provide is used solely for public listing purposes.

How to Request a Change or Removal

To request a correction, removal, or to report a concern about your listing, please contact us via:

• Email: riteshlicadvisor01@gmail.com
• Contact Us Page: www.bizfinder.jeevanbimabazaar.com/p/contact-us.html

We will respond within 30 business days, subject to verification and practicality.

Retention for Active Listings

• Data submitted through Google Forms is reviewed and published as part of a listing.

• Once published, the listing remains active and visible to the public until:

  • The user requests its removal
  • It is found to be outdated, invalid, or non-compliant with our content policies
  • We receive legal or regulatory instructions to remove it

As long as a listing is active, the data remains stored in the associated form response and visible on the site.

Removal of Data

• If a listing is withdrawn, unpublished, or deleted (either by user request or administrative action), we will remove the associated data from public view.
• Any internal backups or form responses related to that listing may be deleted or archived in a secure and non-public manner, subject to data management and legal record-keeping obligations.

No Long-Term Archiving

We do not maintain a permanent or centralized database of user-submitted listings. Data is not retained for analytics, resale, remarketing, or future profiling once it has been removed from the site.

Security Practices Include:

• Use of Google Forms for secure data collection, protected by Google’s own infrastructure and privacy safeguards
• Limited and controlled access to form responses
• No public exposure of unlisted or removed profiles
• Manual review of submissions before publishing

Important Note on Limitations

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Users are encouraged:

• Not to upload sensitive or confidential documents unless essential
• Not to share financial, password, or highly personal information through our forms
• To contact us immediately if they suspect unauthorized use or visibility of their data

Responsibility of the User
