Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
This policy explains how Socketlist ("we", "us"), at socketlist.com, collects and uses personal information. Socketlist is a small independent business operated by Aaron Dunn.
Information we collect
- Listing purchases. If you buy a Featured, Premium or Sponsor listing, payment is handled by Stripe. We receive your name, email, billing details needed to fulfil the order and the server/product you want listed. We never see or store full card numbers.
- Messages you send us. If you email us (for example to correct a listing), we keep that correspondence.
- Public data. Server listings are built from public sources (the official MCP Registry, GitHub and npm). If you maintain a listed project and want something corrected or removed, contact us.
- Basic technical data. Our hosting provider automatically logs standard request data (IP address, browser type, pages requested, date/time) for security and reliability. We may use privacy-friendly analytics that report aggregate traffic.
How we use it
- To provide the site and deliver what you asked for (orders, downloads, emails).
- To answer questions and provide support.
- To keep the site secure and understand overall usage.
- To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.
We do not sell your personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Service providers
We share information only with providers that help run the business, such as Stripe (payments), our web host, and our email provider. Each processes data under its own privacy policy.
Cookies
This site does not use advertising cookies. Payment pages hosted by Stripe may set cookies needed for fraud prevention and to work properly.
Retention
We keep order records as long as required for tax and accounting (typically up to 7 years) and other data only as long as needed for the purposes above.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email [email protected]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect their information.
International users
We are based in the United States and our providers may process data in the US and other countries.
Changes
We may update this policy; the date above shows the latest version.
