Privacy Overview

Scope

This statement applies to Malta Online Directory’s services and websites (collectively, "services").

• The Malta Online Directory (MOD) collects personal account information that is voluntarily posted when you create an account with us. This information is never published, but is retained by the MOD for communication with you and for statistical purposes. This information includes the mandatory name and e-mail address, and the following optional information: address, telephone number and mobile number.
• The Malta Online Directory (MOD) collects contact information for publication in the search section of our website. This information may be used by MOD for research and statistical use. The information includes the mandatory company name or personal name. Optional information includes qualifications, address, website, telephone and mobile numbers, free-text description, and any image you may choose to upload.
• The Malta Online Directory (MOD) collects usage information when a person visits our website or use the search service. This information may include the URL, your IP address, your type of browser and language, and the date and time of your request.

Uses

• We may use the information you provide to provide the services you request, including services that display customized content and advertising.
• We do not share any information you provide us with, such as your account details or your directory entry details, with third parties, with the exception of when obliged by law, such as when complying with legal processes, preventing fraud or imminent harm, and ensuring the security of our network and services.
• There is no physical computer located on the Maltese islands that stores the directory data. All data is stored on servers abroad. The computers are physically protected by a third-party (our hosting provider), which, in compliance with the data protection act, will only access the data for troubleshooting purposes when the need arises. The hosting provider takes all the necessary backups to ensure proper recovery in case of physical loss.

Your choices

• We offer you choices when we ask for personal information, whenever reasonably possible (e.g. optional fields).
• You may decline to provide personal information to us, although some of the features may not work properly as a result.
• We make good faith efforts to provide you access to your personal information upon request and to let you correct such data if it is inaccurate and delete it, when reasonably possible.
