btob.dev (“Europe’s B2B Data Layer”) is operated by Dorian. This policy explains what data we collect when you use btob.dev — including the website, API, and MCP server — and how we use it. We are committed to transparency and to handling all data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The data controller for btob.dev is Dorian (operator of btob.dev). For any privacy-related questions or requests, contact us at hello@btob.dev.
We collect data across four categories:
Supplier registration
Company name, country, city, website, email, phone, industries, products, and description — submitted voluntarily by suppliers.
Legal basis: Consent
API request logs
Request path, anonymized IP address, and timestamp — used for abuse prevention and service reliability.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest
Analytics
We use Umami (self-hosted, anonymous, cookieless) to collect page views, referrer, country, and device type. No personal identifiers are stored.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest
Public registry data
Company names, registration numbers, and registered addresses sourced from official European business registries.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest / Public task
Data we collect is used exclusively for: delivering the btob.dev service (search, API responses, MCP tool calls); preventing abuse and ensuring fair use of the platform; and improving the service through aggregate analytics. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Supplier registration data is retained until a deletion request is submitted to hello@btob.dev. API request logs are retained for 90 days. Analytics data is aggregated and contains no personally identifiable information.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request rectification of inaccurate data; request erasure (“right to be forgotten”); restrict or object to processing; and request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@btob.dev. We will respond within 30 days.
btob.dev uses zero cookies. No consent banner is needed because we do not track users with cookies, fingerprinting, or cross-site trackers. Our analytics stack (Umami) is cookieless by design.
The only third-party service integrated into btob.dev is Umami, which we self-host at analytics.btob.dev. No data is shared with or sent to any external third party, advertising network, or data broker.
All btob.dev data is stored within the European Union. Our infrastructure runs on Contabo servers located in Germany. No data is transferred outside the EU.
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced on the website.
