Privacy Policy | Niche Resource Directory

Last updated: April 13, 2026

1. Our Curation Mandate

At Niche Resource Directory, our primary goal is the curation of high-value digital resources. We prioritize your privacy as much as we prioritize resource quality. This protocol outlines how we handle information in our directory environment.

2. Passive Data Collection

To maintain the structural integrity and performance of the directory, we may gather non-identifiable technical metrics:

Resource Metadata: Aggregated data on outbound links clicked to determine the popularity and reliability of curated tools.
Technical Telemetry: Browser version, device types, and network latency metrics to optimize our Edge-native delivery.
Security Logs: IP addresses and timestamps collected by our CDN (Cloudflare) for DDoS mitigation and infrastructure security.

3. Advertising Sovereignty (Google AdSense)

We utilize Google AdSense to deliver tailored advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to our directory and other websites across the digital landscape.

Google's advertising cookies enable it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing patterns.
Users can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
We do not share any data regarding your curated collections or bookmarks with external advertising entities.

4. Compliance Framework (GDPR & CCPA)

We respect global privacy standards. Because Niche Resource Directory is a non-custodial directory (we do not hold user accounts or document payloads), we possess virtually no "Personal Data" that would require persistent storage or erasure.

5. External Link Policy

Our directory contains links to third-party resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or technical security of these external domains. We recommend reviewing the specific privacy protocols of any resource you utilize from our directory.
