3. Seller Data We Provide to Users
sellers.directory provides its subscribers access to a database of Amazon seller business information. This data has been compiled from publicly available pages on the Amazon marketplace and includes:
- Amazon seller display names and store names
- Business contact details publicly listed on Amazon seller profiles
- Seller feedback ratings and review counts
- ASIN listings and product category information
- Geographic market information (e.g., Amazon US, Amazon UK)
Email addresses included in our database are sourced from publicly available information and are independently validated using Reoon Email Verifier prior to delivery. This validation is a technical check for deliverability; it does not constitute a solicitation or endorsement of contacting those individuals.
If you are an Amazon seller and wish to have your information removed from our database, please see our Terms & Conditions for our data removal process, or contact us directly at hello@sellers.directory.
4. Third-Party Services
We work with the following third-party service providers who may access certain information in the course of providing services to us:
- Stripe, Inc. — Payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. Stripe acts as a data processor and is subject to its own privacy obligations.
- Reoon Email Verifier — Email validation and deliverability verification. Used to validate seller email addresses prior to delivery to subscribers.
- Hosting Infrastructure — Our site is hosted on servers we operate, and we use industry-standard security controls to protect data at rest and in transit.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
