Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

A2A Protocol ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website a2aprotocol.ai and when you use optional features such as our product directory and paid product submission flow.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact and inquiries: personal information such as name and email when you contact us or subscribe to updates.
• Product submissions: when you request a paid listing through our Products page, we collect the product or website URL you submit, a contact email address, and we store this information in our database to process your request, match it to any payment you complete, and communicate with you about your submission.
• Security verification: we use Cloudflare Turnstile on the submission form. Turnstile may process technical data (which can include your IP address as part of bot detection) according to Cloudflare's policies. We send the Turnstile response token and may pass a client IP to Cloudflare for server-side verification.
• Payments: payments for directory submissions are completed on Buy Me a Coffee (or another checkout link we configure). We do not receive or store your full payment card details on our servers; payment data is handled by that provider under its own terms and privacy policy. We may receive limited payment-related information needed to confirm a transaction (for example, whether a payment occurred, supporter message text you choose to leave, or identifiers the platform provides).
• Published directory data: if we approve and publish a listing, we may display information such as the product name, description, URLs, logos or screenshots, and categories, as shown on the public Products pages.
• Usage data and analytics.
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for:

• Providing and maintaining our website and directory
• Reviewing submissions, preventing abuse, and operating our admin tools
• Communicating with you about your submission or account-related matters
• Improving user experience
• Analyzing website usage

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on service providers to host our site, store data, verify traffic, and process payments. These providers process information on our behalf and under their own policies. Examples include Cloudflare (including Turnstile), our hosting and database vendors, analytics tools we enable, and Buy Me a Coffee for checkout. We encourage you to review their privacy notices.

5. Retention

We retain submission and directory records as needed to operate the service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary by data type; contact us if you have questions about deletion where applicable.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
