Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

Our Privacy Commitment

At Pathein Ayer, we are strictly committed to safeguarding the privacy and personal data of our website visitors, registered users, and business partners. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how we handle it, and the security measures we employ.

1.Information We Collect

We collect information to provide, personalize, and optimize our directory services:

Account Information: Name, email address, telephone number, and encrypted password credentials provided during registration.

Business Profile Data: Company name, physical address, towns, branch locations, operational hours, contact numbers, banners, logos, product catalogs, and service descriptions.

Usage & Technical Data: Search queries, page view logs, IP addresses, browser types, and device interaction statistics used solely for security and performance analytics.

2.How We Use Your Information

We utilize the gathered information exclusively for lawful business purposes:

Publishing and indexing authentic business listings in the public directory.
Facilitating direct communication between customers and merchants via live chat, email, or telephone.
Verifying subscription plan activations, transaction receipts, and renewal requests.
Monitoring platform stability, optimizing search engine relevancy, and preventing fraudulent listings.

3.Data Sharing & Public Visibility

Business listing details (such as commercial address, opening hours, business contact phone, and images) are intended for public discovery as the primary objective of a directory.

We never sell, rent, or lease personal user data (such as passwords, private chats, or personal payment credentials) to third-party advertisers.

4.Cookies & Local Storage

We employ cookies and local storage tokens to preserve authentication sessions, language preferences (Burmese/English), and interface settings. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may impact site navigation and account functionality.

5.Data Security & Protection

We implement industry-standard administrative and technical safeguards (including HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords, and database access controls) to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your data. While we strive to maintain uncompromising security, no electronic transmission is 100% immune to vulnerabilities.

6.Your Privacy Rights

As a user or merchant partner, you have the right to:

Access, review, and modify your profile details and business listings anytime via your account settings.
Request the removal or permanent deletion of your business listing or personal account.
Opt-out of non-essential promotional notifications.

7.Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to evolving legal, technical, or operational developments. Any changes will take immediate effect upon being posted on this page with an updated revision date.
