Privacy policy

Privacy, plainly.

Last updated: June 2026. This page describes what data FreelanceSites.net collects and how it is used. The short version: we collect very little, we don't run ads or trackers, and we never sell data.

What we collect

  • Site submissions. When you submit a platform, we store the public information you provide about that platform (name, address, description). We don't ask for or store anything about you personally.
  • Contact messages. When you use the contact form, we receive your name (optional), email address, and message, and use them only to reply.
  • A session cookie. A standard, functional session cookie (PHPSESSID) supports the submission flow and basic rate limiting. It is not used for tracking or advertising.
  • Server logs. Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider keeps standard access logs (IP address, pages requested) for security and troubleshooting.

Third-party services

  • Google Knowledge Graph. When a platform is submitted or viewed, we may query Google's Knowledge Graph API with the platform's brand name to verify and enrich the listing. No visitor data is sent.
  • Google Gemini (AI discovery). The text you type into the AI discovery search is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate suggestions. Don't include personal information in searches.
  • Google favicon service and fonts. Platform icons and the Inter typeface are loaded from Google servers, which receive standard web requests from your browser.

What we don't do

  • No advertising, advertising cookies, or third-party trackers.
  • No selling, renting, or sharing of personal data.
  • No accounts, so no passwords or profiles to protect — or leak.

Your choices

To have a contact message deleted or a submission removed or corrected, contact us and we'll handle it promptly.

If this policy changes materially, the date above will be updated. Questions are welcome via the contact page.
