INDEX — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how INDEX, available at usefulwebsiteindex.com (the "Site"), owned and operated by LSL Media LLC ("LSL Media," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and shares information.

1. Information We Collect

Because the Site does not require visitors to create an account, we collect very little personal information directly from you. Specifically:

  • Suggested listings:If you use the "Suggest a site" form, we collect the website URL and any description or details you choose to provide. This form does not require an email address or any other personal information.
  • Listing reports: If you report a listing (for example, as broken, misleading, or infringing), we collect the report details and, only if you choose to provide it, your email address so we can follow up.
  • Standard technical data: Like most websites, our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically log standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security, abuse prevention, and basic operational purposes.

We do not require or knowingly collect personal information from visitors who are simply browsing or searching the directory.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Review and, where appropriate, publish suggested listings;
  • Review and respond to reports about existing listings;
  • Maintain the security, integrity, and performance of the Site;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

3. AI-Assisted Content Generation

When a listing is added or updated, we may use third-party AI services (for text and image generation) to help produce descriptions, use cases, features, and icon imagery based on publicly available information about the listed website. This process does not involve any of your personal information — it operates on the third-party website's own public content, not on data about Site visitors.

4. YouTube API Services

The Site uses YouTube API Services to search for and embed videos relevant to certain directory listings.

By using the features of our Site that rely on YouTube API Services, you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

Google's own collection and use of information in connection with YouTube API Services is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Specifically:

  • We use the YouTube Data API to search for publicly available videos related to a listing and to store only the video ID and title needed to embed that video on the relevant listing page.
  • We do not request or receive access to your personal Google account, and the Site does not require you to sign in with a Google account to view embedded videos.
  • If you choose to play an embedded YouTube video, YouTube/Google may collect data about that interaction (such as viewing activity) in accordance with its own privacy practices, independent of this Site. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy linked above.

You may review Google's information about how data from the YouTube API is handled, and, where applicable, how to manage or revoke access granted to any application connected to your Google Account, through your Google Account security settings at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

5. Cookies and Analytics

We may use standard, privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns (for example, which categories or listings are most viewed) so we can improve the Site. Any such analytics data is used in aggregate form and is not used to build individual profiles of visitors for advertising purposes. We do not sell personal information.

6. Third-Party Websites

Listings on the Site link out to third-party websites we do not control. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site itself. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing it with any personal information.

7. Data Retention

Suggested listing submissions and reports are retained as needed to review, act on, and maintain a record of that submission or report, and are not kept longer than reasonably necessary for those purposes.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@usefulwebsiteindex.com and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

9. Your Choices

If you submitted information to us (for example, through the suggestion form or a listing report) and would like it corrected or removed, you may contact us at contact@usefulwebsiteindex.com and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
