Privacy Policy

Overview

x402 List is an open directory of services and facilitators implementing the x402 payment protocol. This page explains what data we collect, why we hold it, how long we keep it, and how you can ask us to access or delete it. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the directory. Questions or requests can be sent by email to [email protected].

What We Collect

Submission data. When you submit a service or a facilitator, or request an update to an existing listing, we collect the email address you provide and the listing details you enter: names, URLs, category, description, endpoint paths or settler addresses, networks, and any optional notes. The optional owner contact email on an update request is used only to reach you and is never displayed publicly.

Analytics. We use aggregated, privacy-respecting web analytics (Rybbit) to understand how pages are used. This does not set tracking cookies and does not build cross-site advertising profiles.

Operational logs. Our servers process standard request metadata (such as IP address and request path) as needed to operate, rate-limit, and secure the directory and its API.

Why We Use It

We use submission data to review, publish, and maintain directory listings, and to contact you about the outcome of a submission or update. We use analytics and operational logs to run the site, keep the API available, and prevent abuse. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

What Is Public

Listing content you submit (service or facilitator name, URLs, category, description, and endpoints) is published in the public directory and its API: that is the purpose of a submission. The email address you submit and any owner contact email are not published.

Retention

We keep submission records for as long as the listing is active or for as long as needed to operate the directory and handle disputes. When a listing is removed, we retain only what we need for record-keeping and abuse prevention, and remove the rest.

Your Rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal data you have sent us, such as the email address tied to your submission. To make a request, or to have a listing removed, email [email protected]. We will action verified requests within a reasonable time.

Contact

For any privacy question or request, email [email protected]. This is the only channel we use for data requests.
