Business listings

The directory shows business information that is publicly available: name, category, city, address and phone number. We do not publish the private details of individuals. The owner can ask us to correct or remove a listing at any time.

Accounts

When you sign up we keep your email address, a hashed password, and the business information you enter. We use them to run your account and website, and to email you about it. We do not sell them.

Visitors

You can browse the directory without an account. If you send feedback or a report, we keep the message and the page it was sent from.

Your choices

To see, correct or delete what we hold about you or your business, write to support@digitalethiopia.info.

Activity tracking (only with your permission)

Activity tracking is off by default. After you sign up, a window asks you once. We record nothing unless you say yes, and the platform works exactly the same if you say no. We show it in English and Amharic so you can read it in the language you are most comfortable with.

If you say yes, we record: the dashboard pages you open and when; the sign-up and billing steps you reach (for example opening the billing page, choosing how long to subscribe, starting a payment, being unable to publish); and a random number your browser makes for itself so your steps can be joined up. It is not your name or identity.

We never record: what you type, your passwords or messages, your screen, your location, your contacts, or anything you do on other websites. We do not sell it, use it for advertising or give it to other companies. Only our admin team sees it, to find where people give up and fix it.

You can turn it off at any time in Account settings. Turning it off deletes everything we kept about you.

This is separate from security records: when you sign in, your device type, IP address and sign-in time are kept with your sign-in session to protect your account. That is not activity tracking.

Anonymous visitors

We do not track visitors who are not signed in. Business pages count how many people visited and which contact buttons were tapped (call, directions, WhatsApp, email), without cookies and without identifying anyone.

Your rights

You have the right to see, correct and delete the personal data we hold about you, and to withdraw a permission you gave, at any time. This is backed by Ethiopia’s Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024 and Article 26 of the Constitution (the right to privacy). To ask, write to support@digitalethiopia.info.
