Privacy notice

Last updated November 3, 2026 · Bboard

This notice explains how 1Kcom handles information when you browse, register a business, use discovery features, or contact us. The operator and privacy contact is iurii.storozhenko@gmail.com.

Information you provide

Accounts use an email address, authentication credentials, and verification or recovery records. Business records include your name, description, website, category, city, country, optional public phone and email, visiting address or service areas, opening and special hours, services and prices, social links, languages, facilities, business-written FAQs, logo, optional photos, storefront, offers, and the identifiers and board positions associated with the listing. Optional features store connections, collection memberships, invitations, event participation, and email preferences. Support messages and moderation records may include your account identifier, request details, evidence, and decisions. We record the Terms version accepted, its purpose (account creation, listing submission, or purchase), and a server timestamp. These records are separate from optional marketing preferences.

What becomes public

Approved business information, logos, permitted gallery content, offers, and accepted public connections or collections appear on the board and public pages. Public pages can be indexed, copied, or cached by search engines and other visitors. Pending and suspended listings are hidden from public discovery, while authorized owners and administrators can still review them. Your login email, private billing records, ownership-review evidence, and internal moderation notes are not intended for public listing pages. Avoid placing private or sensitive information in public fields.

Why we use information

We use information to authenticate accounts, reserve and publish listings, provide requested features, manage subscriptions and rewards, deliver opted-in emails, answer requests, review reports, prevent abuse, and measure how visitors use the service. We do not sell account information or use these features to build advertising profiles.

Browser storage and activity measurements

Your browser stores sign-in state, saved businesses, interests, invitation information, and unsaved storefront drafts. Demo mode stores fictional listings and demo account changes locally. Clearing browser storage can remove saved preferences and drafts and sign you out; it does not delete a connected account or cancel billing.

The service records events such as profile views, website clicks, saves, and return visits. Where a signed-in identifier or trusted network address is available, server functions derive hashed identifiers to deduplicate activity and calculate aggregate metrics. These identifiers are not a promise of anonymity. Hosting and delivery providers may also process IP addresses, browser information, timestamps, and operational logs to deliver and protect the service.

Service providers and external content

Supabase provides connected authentication, database, and uploaded-file storage. Hosting and configured email-delivery providers process information needed to run the site and send account messages. Stripe processes payment and billing information when paid services are enabled; 1Kcom stores provider references and entitlement records, rather than full card details. If weekly delivery is enabled, Resend processes the recipient address and the discovery email. The site loads Google Fonts and may display images or links from business-provided destinations; contacting those services can disclose normal connection information.

Providers may process information outside your province or country, subject to their own safeguards and applicable rules. Business websites are independent of 1Kcom. Review their privacy notices before submitting information or making a purchase.

Where self-service image uploads are enabled, the server verifies account eligibility, inspects and re-encodes supported images, and removes original image metadata before storing the processed file. Upload-attempt records support rate limits and cleanup of unused files. Images already attached to a listing are retained under the account and content retention rules below.

Customer enquiries and submitted images

When you submit an enquiry, we share your name, reply email, chosen service, and message with the business you selected. These messages are private, are stored in its dashboard for up to 90 days, and are not customer reviews or confirmed bookings. We use a keyed hash of the request network address to limit spam; the enquiry record does not store the raw address. Contact the privacy address to request correction or deletion. Do not submit sensitive documents or payment information.

Owner photo submissions are decoded and re-encoded, stored privately, and reviewed before publication. Approved images can appear publicly on the business profile. Submitted originals and submission history are removed after 30 days by scheduled maintenance; public images and administrative audit records follow the account and moderation retention rules. Short-lived signed links let the owner and authorized reviewers preview private submissions.

Email choices

Account verification, password recovery, and necessary service messages support your account. Weekly discovery emails are optional and use the preferences you choose. Disable them in your account or use the unsubscribe link in an email. Opening an unsubscribe link alone does not change your preference; confirm the action on the page.

Retention and your requests

We keep account and business information while it is needed to provide the service and retain relevant records for support, moderation, fraud prevention, billing, or legal obligations. Records are not all deleted when a listing is hidden. Backups, provider records, and search-engine caches can have separate retention periods; deleting an account does not immediately remove every copy.

Email the privacy contact to request access, correction, deletion, or withdrawal of optional consent, or to raise a privacy concern. We may verify your identity and authority before acting. We will explain any records that must be retained and any effect on your account or services. Do not send passwords, authentication links, payment card details, or identity documents unless a suitable secure process has been agreed.

Security and updates

We use account authorization and access controls to restrict private records, but no online service is risk-free. Report suspected exposure or account misuse to the privacy contact. We will update this notice when the service’s information practices change; the date above identifies the current version.
